Eight-ounce gloves for Mayweather and McGregor. But Nevada commission gets to "study" them after. Looking forward to that report.

Eight ounce gloves…?!? I'm shocked! It's a good show of confidence from the Mayweather camp. Very interesting… #MayMac

I don't think so… More likely that Floyd hurts his hands on Conor's head and holds back on his power. https://t.co/lNe66CJe6o

I think so. Smaller gloves to cover with, to find targets through the guard, harder to hold onto in the clinch… https://t.co/fLxJTR0ZRa

NSAC OKs Mayweather-McGregor to be contested in $-oz. gloves. Another example of what this fight is and why it was made. Rules? What rules?

Folks joke about fighting Mayweather because they're also 0-0 as a boxer. But man, if it'd sell, I'm sure they'd get licensed, no problem.

NAC did not bother even raising the letter sent from Assoc. of Ringside Physicians saying don't do this.

Watch out for the left hand… #8ounces

Mayweather line now down to -450. Officially the smallest favourite he has been since the odds were released in November #MayweatherMcGregor pic.twitter.com/6MLyG26MPH
