Over at the scene This is the same guy that overly complained for years about who Mayweather fights yet on the other hand is very happy for Manny to fight weak competition. atsch Can you imagine what Merchant would say if the shoe was on the other foot? Boxing fan: So Larry what do you think of the upcoming fight between Mayweather Jr vs Brandon Rios at 147? Larry Merchant: .......?
Having read the article he seems to be saying its a good opponent for Pacquiao because his style will make him look good.
Merchant's take on Mayweather Jr vs Guerrero Merchant told examiner.com I dont get it except that hes [Guerrero] a Golden Boy fighter and he wants a big fight like a lot of fighters do. Nobody blames them for that. But hes never been a primetime attraction, much less a pay per view attraction. I think he has to go out and beat somebody who has some credentials before fighting a top fighter. http://www.boxingnews24.com/2012/01/merchant-not-excited-about-a-mayweather-guerrero-fight/
