HBO Taunted Mayweather

Scoop Malinowski Boxing Insider November 15th, 2010 The greatest coward in boxing history Floyd Mayweather Jr. was taunted during the HBO pay-per-view telecast of the Pacquiao-Margarito superfight in Dallas. During the post-fight wrap up, on-air conversation between Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman, a very interesting exchange took place between the two HBO announcers… Lampley stated,”So years from now we’ll say we know Mayweather was a genius. He waited for Pacquiao to fight five bigger guys. He watched him fight a guy who is seventeen pounds larger. Maybe he’ll take the fight (with Pacquiao) next week?” Kellerman responded with a chuckle, which made Lampley smile himself. To which Kellerman added, with a tone of amusement in his voice, “We’ll seeeee!” It was quality commentating by the HBO team. One of the female viewers at our fight party named Lynn, a long time boxing fan, remarked after the Lampley-Kellerman exchange, “They’re taunting him now.”
