Larry Merchant and his whining.

[MlLkMan]

I have never cared much for him. On occasion he will say something insightfull that will get you thinking. But every other time he will say something and your left to wonder if he should be on medication.

For him to cry about the gloves is just ridiculous. In a fight of this magnitude he can not believe that mannys handlers did not go over the proposed contract with a fine tooth comb, and then double check it with a magnifying glass. They knew about the gloves, whether or not they informed manny is not morales' fault. Besides, every contract that I signed for fights I sat down with the promoter and read it, myself. If I had questions or problems they were addressed. Now I took the time to make sure that I was getting a fair shake and I was only fighting for $800. If mannys fighting for millions and wont even take the time to read his own contracts before he signs them, then he deserves what gloves he gets..............Rockin'

Pac was never shown the contract for the gloves, ****ing MURAD signed it without telling Pac

The only one to blame for that is Pac, sadly enough. He is the one putting his health on the line, so he should make damn sure he knows whats on the contracts! Hell, they're all about him anyway, he should know their contents better than anyone! It doesnt matter though, he admitted that the gloves had nothing to do with it, and then when Larry saw another "way out" and mentioned the eye, he agreed with him and said that he couldnt see.

me and my pops were watching this GREAT fight only to be distracted during the middle of the fight with merchants whining of how manny got tricked into wearing these gloves. COME ON!! this is basically everything he said during the whole fight

Round 1-4: wow... what a great fight. both fighters coming on strong blah blah blah

Round 5-6: morales' camp TRICKED pac's camp into wearing these gloves.. waaa waaa. another bull**** excuse. if they didnt like the gloves dont take the fight.

Round 7-8: I have it 5 rds to 4.

Round 9-12: I have it 6 rds to 5 for morales but it could easily go the other way for pac WHEN MORALES WAS CLEARLY WINNING BY MORE THAN 1 RD!!!

That's literally all that he said. notice how quiet he was when pac was continuously getting stunned.

Take a chill pill. First off, one could have easily had the fight scored close toward the end---EVERY SINGLE JUDGE DID, after all. Another thing, the glove thing was sneaky. Now, I grant you, I don't understand why the hell Pac's corner just didn't refuse to fight unless they got to wear the gloves they wanted, period. Finally, it was a great fight which Morales legitimately won by surviving a late rally by Pac. (Pac has no one to blame for himself for just standing in front of Morales and smiling for about 5 early rounds). Larry Merchant was cool as usual (but not always). Get off Morales' nuts.

I don't see how Pac could have been held to a contract he didn't sign anyway. Even as a promoter or manager, another cannot bind someone else to an agreement unless they are their legal guardian or have power of attorney. Of course, although a hell of a fighter, Pac doesn't strike me as particularly bright, so maybe he thought he was bound by it.

Only roach made a big deal out of it at first. Pacquiao said it wouldnt be a problem before hand.

But now that he lost he is saying if he had the Reyes he would have won.

[Neuraxis]

I really don't think that the gloves were that big of an issue because who knows, Morales may have even KO'd Pacquiao if they had used the smaller gloves. The real excuse which I haven't really seen used here, or that much anywhere else is the headbutt, which is good. I'm not even a Pacquiao fan, but the fight was a lot closer in rounds 1-5 than it was in rounds 6-12. On the official cards its very likely that Pacquiao was winning on all three cards 48-47. After the 5th round Morales pitched a shutout besides the 9th where Pacquiao looked good, and the 12th in which Morales just basically gave away, so it really doesn't even count.

[FourPunchCombo]

Pacman was okay with the Winning gloves because he actually believed he was gonna KO Morales. Once he hit Morales with his best punches and all he got was a slightly stunned fighter in front of him, Pacman regretted every ounce of power he ever gave Murad Muhamamad. I dont blame anyone but Manny Pacquiao for what happened last night. Letting a promoter control your destiny and almost destroying it is just flat ignorance. I hope Shelly Finkel helps him get his **** straight. Manny would be alot richer than he would be now without Muhammad and he probably wouldve eek out a decision against Morales had he had the opportunity to use Reyes gloves. Please, dont anyone start an argument about how gloves dont make a difference. They do in all aspects.

[BBFM]

wouldent of made a difference its like saying if it wasent for the gloves morales would of knocked his ass out.

[FourPunchCombo]

Morales wouldve used Winning gloves no matter what. Pacquiao wouldve used Cleto-Reyes Gloves had Muhammad not been such an ass.

[phallus]

lol, I've said many times that he's an ass EVERY fight night!! Glad others are finally seeing it too. He's a rude pig, in my opinion!
Erik didnt 'trick' anybody..didnt the managers/promoters take care of all that anyway??

ahh, merchant...it's just the bourbon talking, the old **** drank too much, or not enough...one of these nights he'll start talking **** to jones and roy will force him to lean back
