    While in negotiations for the May 5 Mayweather fight, Mayweather instructed his representative Al Haymon to inform HBO’s Hershman that if the boxer was to fight on HBO in the future, Lampley and Merchant must surrender the right to discuss any and all of Mayweather’s affairs outside the ring on the HBO telecast. The ban would include any discussion of Mayweather’s management team.

    Mayweather previously demanded the same ban during past fight negotiations with former longtime HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg but Greenburg never ceded any measure of editorial control of HBO’s own broadcasts to the boxer.

    Multiple sources have informed SbB that Hershman, who recently took over for Greenburg, has since agreed to Mayweather’s ban demand.

    Additionally, Hershman agreed to surrender the right of Lampley and Merchant to discuss any outside-the-ring affairs of other fighters repped by Haymon.

    Lampley and Merchant have been informed of their new, on-air editorial limits pertaining to Mayweather and other Haymon-repped fighters with the latter ban going into full effect this Saturday when Lampley and Merchant call Adrien Broner’s fight on HBO.

    This sounds kinda lame, but I agree with Floyd. These jackasses come out everytime with an agenda against Floyd and Larry was there talking crap about Floyd during the Vargas fight just because Floyd decided to walk in with his kids. And he called it a "stunt" :verysad
    This is a boxing event and they don't need to bring up any of that BS, because if they do, they'll just say something negative anyways.

    If this was Pacquiao, this wouldn't even be an issue, because they wouldn't mention it. They never even brought up Chavez Jr's arrest that happened a weak before the fight

    Well then, Mayweather should be allowed to demand whatever the hell he wants.:lol:


    By the way, I'm glad HBO will actually talk about the fight rather than other bull****.

    :lol: When have you not agreed with Floyd ?


    Floyd is a pansy , if he can't take the heat then don't take the interview.

    The only reason Floyd is doing this is so HBO doesn't bring up the fact that he turned down 50% and dipped out of the Pacquiao fight.
