Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground

Just channel surfing and ESPN is live at the weigh-in, I think they just said there are 16,000 in the area just for the weigh-in.

The gloves had to be sent from the manufacturer right to the NV athletic commission for inspection (72 hours ahead of time), the gloves are then locked up till the weigh-in when the fighters can finally try them on and they will mark them so everyone knows they are the same gloves (the fighters mark them), the gloves are then locked up until the fight.

Interesting the tricks fighters use to break down the gloves and try to move the pad away from the knuckles, supposedly the boxing commission will be looking out for that.

Manny uses Reyes gloves made for a puncher with less padding around the knuckles, Floyd uses pussie gloves made for someone with tender hands..
