Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant on The State of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao

Totally agree. His fans are too ignorant to believe it. Fact is, Floyd is scared of Manny.

That's your opinion. He hasnt come out and said that himself and it's like Merchant said "He's not 110% sure he can beat him%". That's all.

"...these things are not mutually exclusive. You can go on business track and go on athletic rack at the same time"

Merchant knows what's up.

Merchant has never liked Floyd and should keep his name out of his very biased mouth. How do you duck Margarito for a much tougher, bigger fish in Oscar? And how do you duck Cotto when you called him out several times when you were a light-wt and he was a Jr-Welter-wt? When does the bigger name, more successful fighter fight on the smaller name guy's terms? Larry Merchant's mouth in one of the things wrong with boxing. One minute he says boxing is a business of good decisions then he says Floyd avoided a fighter to fight a far more lucrative fight. Matter of fact the most lucrative fight in boxing history to this date but at the same time its cool for Manny to fight 7 consecutive fighters coming off of huge losses. STFU Larry.

What business sense does it make to avoid the biggest fight of the decade, while it still is the biggest fight of the decade?

I'm sorry but that's ******. Also, why create obstacles for the fight not to happen?

Merchant doesn't know everything, and he certainly can't read anyone's mind.

Yeah, I can't buy that one. Let's just say that most fighters when they get to the top, they just naturally go for lower risk/high reward fights. You don't have to be Donald Trump to have that kind of mindset. I don't certainly buy Floyd being this great entrepreneur and such what with all his tax issues, business ventures gone kaput, etc. Sorry, let's just see them as boxers with advisers.

Nope, it's a fact. I can prove it, but i don't want to.

Fact is, manny had more demands than mayweather. Mayweather, just one. If he can agree to ring size, glove size and 10 mill for every pound over weight, then why not take a drug test? Sounds like he's scared to me or hiding something. Manny's fans are to ignorant to see this

Is it really ****** when one fighter is adamantly avoiding it over blood testing? I don't think so. The principal thing is a poor excuse. Bottom line is this fight hasn't happened because Manny in a blood sport refuses to submit to OST. Why can't everybody see something wrong with that?

Merchant is helping Mayweather

actualy,Mayweather's ko rate is too low after he raised to super lightweight,he always duck good fighters,his boxing skill is not as good as he said,i think his skill is muck more worse than donaire and pacquiao.

Merchant is an HBO expert,HBO is now argueing with arum,so he is helping mayweather,in fact,mayweather is not a good fighter above super lightweight,he is a good fighter in lightweight and low class.
