Sorry if it was already posted More of the interview here http://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2009-12-31-q-and-a-larry-merchant_N.htm
Larry Merchant absolutely LOVES Manny Pacquiao!!! He says it all the time! Who's side do you expect him to be on!!! His opinion is clearly a biased one!
And you aren't? Too many fanboys on this site who wouldn't recognise a balanced opinion if it ****ed them up the arse!
So he thinks the Mayweather demand was part of the negotiation ploy that went awful, and believes that Pacquaio is clean. And yet, the Floyd nuthuggers would see it as a dig to their boxing idol.
Unlike your objective take on the whole situation. I think if goldenboy sold floyd mayweather pom poms you'd have 2 of them in your hands at all times. Goooooooooo floyd!!!
