\"Mayweather<\/a><\/p>\n

Floyd Mayweather has been quite antagonistic despite being so quiet in front of the media. It seems like a lot of “Money’s” mind-games are being played behind the scenes rather than on the microphone. <\/p>\n

Mayweather already asked the Nevada State Athletic Commission to check out Pacquiao’s cup<\/a>. Now, he is asking them to investigate his gloves.<\/p>\n

ESPN<\/a> reports that Mayweather requested the NSAC look into what material Pac-Man’s gloves contain. “Shortly after Friday’s weigh-in at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Pacquiao’s camp was informed by the commission that Mayweather’s representatives contested the use of Pacquiao’s preferred Reyes-manufactured boxing gloves…. According to those close to the situation, a contract exists between the two camps that states Mayweather will wear Grant-manufactured gloves, Pacquiao will wear Reyes gloves and neither set can be horse-hair-style boxing gloves. It’s common for the inside padding of boxing gloves to be made from horse hair, foam or a combination of both.”<\/p>\n

Boxing gloves with mostly horse hair in them can aid a boxer in packing more power in their punch. They’ll help you with making your punches more forceful, but they are terrible in terms of protecting you hands.<\/p>\n
