By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing - No Floyd Mayweather vs. Larry Merchant II? It will be a sad day for Boxing should these two not meet in the ring after Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr's next bout against Miguel Cotto on May 5th.  Ok, so I am having a little fun with it, it won't really be a sad day for the sport, but the last time Merchant and Mayweather hooked up for a post fight interview... it was epic to say the least.  This time though, it seems "Money" Mayweather wants nothing to do with Merchant after the fight and said basically as much on the primere episode of HBO Boxing's "Mayweather/Cotto 24/7".

So will Merchant be sidelined from approaching "Money" Mayweather Jr. after the fight? 

HBO Boxing spokesman Ray Stallone quoted by USA Today had this to say on the matter: "It's our plan for our announcers to perform their typical roles."

So we know Merchant will thankfully be on the job... but will "Money" Mayweather buff him off? Hopefully "Money" Mayweather will play it cool and allow Merchant some time.  I love that part of the show, even if it's controversial.

If
you miss HBO's first episode of "Mayweather/Cotto 24/7", which premiered over the weekend, or perhaps you watched it and want to watch it again?  The full episode is in two parts embedded on this page for your viewing enjoyment. Press play on the videos and enjoy!
