    Name pronouncing? Carnelo, Merriweather, Packcow?

    Anyone notice that people will mispronounce these names?

    Bradley calls Manny, Pack-Cow and not Pac-yeow, A lot of Floyd fans pronounce Canelo, CAR-Nelo or CAR-NELIO, they also have trouble pronouncing Maliggnagi's name, and I've heard casual fans call Mayweather - Merriweather.


    Listen to how they pronounce Mayweather, Merriweather? wtf lol



    Any other fighter names you hear get mispronounced often?

      Most (black) boxers don't have a nact for annunciation. Sometimes I think (and hope) Mayweather does all his mispronunciation on purpose.

      Hashtag, "Casteelio."

              I heard that too Casteelio instead of Castillo.

              The one that gets me is Merriweather, lol wtf? If you show Mayweather on the screen how can you pronounce it Merri-weather? makes no sense.

                lol thats a given, Rigondeaux is going to be hard to pronounce Rigon-Doh, Rigon-de-yow, Rigon-Dew, etc.

                But Canelo? how did it become CAR-Nelo or CaR-Nelio?
