While in negotiations for the May 5 Mayweather fight, Mayweather instructed his representative Al Haymon to inform HBO’s Hershman that if the boxer was to fight on HBO in the future, Lampley and Merchant must surrender the right to discuss any and all of Mayweather’s affairs outside the ring on the HBO telecast. The ban would include any discussion of Mayweather’s management team.
Mayweather previously demanded the same ban during past fight negotiations with former longtime HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg but Greenburg never ceded any measure of editorial control of HBO’s own broadcasts to the boxer.
Multiple sources say that Hershman, who recently took over for Greenburg, has since agreed to Mayweather’s ban demand.
Additionally, Hershman agreed to surrender the right of Lampley and Merchant to discuss any outside-the-ring affairs of other fighters repped by Haymon.

Some real diva shiIt if true. Does Floyd have a penis or vagina between his legs? This is the same Floyd that loves to talk about everyone's personal matters, yet when it comes to him, he wants everyone censored.
He probably doesnt want his prison stuff talked about which is understandable, i dont wanna hear talks about when he's going to prison while a punch is been landed and missed by Merchant and co..
i agree with you 100%.
i don't understand this move by mayweather and his team. you would think the amount of crap larry says about him boosts the controversial image that he makes tons of money off of.
seems like he genuinely hates merchant. i thought the quip about his kids being used as "props" was rather low and unprofessional though. you never talk about another man and his children.

I'm so happy. I can just imagine what will be going through Larry's head on fight night. I ho[e he does say something and gets fired. Maybe he can go to Germany and do commentary for the Klits. He never seems to have anything negative to say about them.

You sound like a gossip queen. It's boxing...so there's nothing wrong with keeping it about boxing. Merchant seems to know how not to talk about Pac borrowing money from Arum, his alleged affairs, his warped views about condoms, etc. Yet they don't hesitate to talk about Floyd legal issues, etc. The old man has gotten extremely disrespectful and forgot the attraction is the athlete, not him. I'm glad somebody "built a fence" for Larry to stay in cause he's been wandering off the reservation for some time now.
whats next? ill only fight on HBO if i can pick the commentators?
mayweather didnt want to answer questions about his sucker punch of ortiz, expects to get all the credit in the world for it, and wanted to get the hell out of there before he got asked when he is gonna fight pacquiao.
Who cares what they do outside? if you want to hear that stuff then tune in to howard stern, they should talk and discuss boxing in the ring period, If you have a problem with this then you are retarded period.
there is another thread on this already, but in all the time iv supported boxing, never have i come across such a paranoid control freak.
HBO are stupid to allow him to control **** like that.
floyd must be constantly on her period.
