The recently retired boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather made tens of millions of dollars from his contracts with HBO. But in an interview with his hometown newspaper, the Grand Rapids Press, he ripped HBO for the way it covered his fights."Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant, Emanuel Steward, they're always talking about the negative things in my life," Mayweather said. "But I've seen Jim Lampley in the same strip club as me before. They always want to talk about me going to strip clubs, but they don't want to talk about that."Mayweather noted that he was criticized on HBO after pleading no contest to assault, even though Lampley himself is currently on probation for violating a restraining order brought by his ex-girlfriend:
"He caught a court case himself, too. But when they catch a case, all they do is take them off the air a couple weeks, then it's over.Although he doesn't come out and say so, Mayweather sounds like a man who could be convinced to return to the ring if he had a more favorable relationship with a television partner. I hope that happens.
