Larry Merchant asked Nonito if he had called out Top Rank about Abner Mares

Go on the Golden Boy website, there Richard Schafer admits that they have not allowed Mares near Donaire. They say they kept Mares away from Donaire because the fight wasn't big enough yet. But after Saturday I bet they don't allow Mares near Donaire no matter how big a fight it is.

But Nonito wants Mares.

that would've been unnecessary. nonito is one man , bob has lots of fighters in his stable

Even if he asked it, Donaire wouldnt have answer it and taken the convo in another direction That would have been fine. But at least Arum's methods would have received some much needed public attention and scrutiny. HBO will be critical of Marquez and PEDs but they are too politically correct to put Bob Arum on blast. That's why I was glad that Larry at least took a stab at it.

This is why we need Merchant. He isn't afraid to pry. The guy pretty much can say w/e the **** he wants up there, I'm hoping whoever replaces him as the interviewer is as blunt as him.

Yeah, but it would have been a hard question that needed asking. Plus it's not like Larry had anything to lose. It was his last day on the job...might as well go out with a bang. Even if he asked it, Donaire wouldnt have answer it and taken the convo in another direction

This is why we need Merchant. He isn't afraid to pry. Depending on the fighter, yeah. He pushes for more answers with certain fighters. Other fighters he just does a half assed job asking questions.

I would love to see this fight! I hope it gets made.

In the postfight interview yesterday. Nonito said "I have already. For the past two years, I have already." I wish Larry had followed up and asked him if he works for Bob or if Bob works for him. Would have been awesome to see his response. Especially since Arum was there in the ring, hovering over his shoulder. He wouldnt answer that question, lets be real....you cant show somebody up like that

When does his contract expire? Didnt extend it by several years?

Nonitos wife is superhot! o.O

When does his contract expire?
