    “My guess is that there was pressure on Mayweather because of his declining pay per view numbers more so than on Pacquiao’s pay per view numbers because of the contract guarantees he has from Showtime,”

    “So I think that probably made him a little more open to various pressures,” Merchant added. “That’s in general what I think of it".

    Tbf merchant is a mayweather hater. Doesnt matter what he does. Think floyd was right in calling him out on it...just went about it the wrong way

    Merchant is right if Floyd was left to his own devices we would be talking about Mayweather Cotto 2

    I don't know, there's so much **** been spoken for such a long time surrounding this fight, its difficult to know who to believe and who you can trust anymore.

    He doesn't sign the fight. He's ducking and a coward
    He signs to fight, and he was "forced" to do it.

    I see you idiots have all your bases covered.

    It's a contract. Floyd isn't a slave. He didn't need to sign anything he didn't want to. You guys need to lay off the crack. In the United States, nobody can "force you to sign a contract." Welcome to reality.


    And Larry Merchant doesn't know **** except where the nearest bar is. Seriously. Drunk ass can barely call a fight. Who gives a **** what he thinks.

    Your parents were actually forced to sign a paper after you were born in order for you to get a social security number.

    Yet, there's no law obliging them to.

    That's not a contract. It's a "birth certificate."

    Nice try though. :nut

    And I would like to point out that Merchant has made digs at Mayweather's "style" since he was at 130 pounds.

    If you don't fight the way "Larry wants you to fight," he gives you a hard time. **** that clown.
