Mayweather New HBO Deal - Merchant & Lampley...

[Champ Is Here]

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 have informed SbB 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.

Lampley and Merchant have been informed of their new, on-air editorial limits pertaining to Mayweather and other Haymon-repped fighters with the latter ban going into full effect this Saturday when Lampley and Merchant call Adrien Broner’s fight on HBO.

Pretty sure Lamps can will follow the company line he is good at that, Merchant well he will just have to not be on the broadcast although I am sure if they put him on again he will bring it up.

Which will ultimately lead to Merchant being ousted~

"Good ****, because Merchant was way over the line with his comments regarding Floyd and his kids, on the Mayweather/Ortiz telecast. Those dudes are not the reason fans tune in to HBO Boxing, because it's the fighters who fight that the make program what it is. Merchant stays pushing Arum's agenda, and Lampley is in bed with Roach by producing that show so **** em."
