I would assume so, I remember in the post fighter interview he was asked how does he feel about putting up a poor show for the crowd and he said something liek "I dont care. I got paid" He already got the Mayweather syndrome without accomplishing anything.
It says a lot about him that so much is made of the Olympic medal it was a bronze for ****s sake he seems to think that alone makes him a draw.
I read elswhere that Gary Shaw were grooming HBO to take Dirrell on but his negative fighting put them right off.
Listen to the whole commentry of the fight. This content is protected Larry Merchant - "sometimes you Lose even by winning" & througout the fight there was negative boxing, negative commentating & a whole lotta BOOOOOOO'S from the crowd. to make matters worse..Dirrell rubbing it in & shouting after the fight " i dont care...I GOT PAID!!! " in responce to his hugging running surviving boring style & the crowd booo'ing....which mustve pissed off HBO even more as he has no remorse of his scared to death survival boxing style & being BORING.
Watchin Dirrell fight has made me change my opinion on Mayweather, I mean I used to think Mayweather was a ***** but at least he fights in the pocket and never misses an opportunity to counter. Dirrell makes Mayweather look like a titan and thats saying something, I can't remember the last time a supposed 'top class' fighter ran so much!
