In case you missed it Saturday, the fight between Floyd Mayweather & Marcos Maidana almost didn’t happen because Mayweather thought Maidana was trying to pull a fast one with his gloves.
Check out what happened along with a video as it went down…

Shortly after the weigh-in for Saturday’s big fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Marcos Maidana, a collective gasp went through the media center: the bout was in jeopardy because of a gloves dispute with one of Mayweather’s representatives claiming the fight was off.
Mayweather didn’t want Maidana to use a certain model of Everlast glove because of a perceived lack of padding in the knuckle area. And Maidana maintained the gloves were fine since they were approved by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
