    If this is true, it probably has to do with the treatment Chavez Jr. got on HBO after getting busted with a DUI. HBO did nothing to even touch on the subject during the last Chavez fight. If it was Floyd in that situation, they'd be all over that shit, heck, they'd ignore the presence of the actual fight.

        This. Fake until further proven.

        either way it doesn't sound like something floyd would do, because he gets even more hits just from his bad guy persona. It would make more sense to want them to talk bad about him.

          I agree, that was bull****. They wouldn't have cared if it would had affected Floyd mental state before the fight. So I get why Floyd would want it for himself. I just don't get why they would/should have boundaries set with the Broner fight?

            But lets be honest... his personal business has nothing to do with boxing
            I did. The article doesnt have any sources and the it later says:

            It should be noted that a HBO Spokesman informed Sports By Brooks this wasn’t accurate, so I did some of my own digging and was told that Mayweather was assisting on this before he signed any deal with HBO.

                    It would be much more reasonable and less whiny to say I don't want Merchant on the broadcast and leave it at that.

                    If Merchant isn't there Lampley would not go there as Kellerman or Steward wouldn't go there, unless Floyd looked like ass and if that is the case who cares about his crazy demands.
