After Larry Merchant's contract expired, HBO renewed it but only part-time because they had already got Max Kellerman to do the telecasts. As a result, Merchant and Kellerman alternate on commentating for the fights on "World Championship Boxing" and HBO PPV, and Kellerman does all the commentating for "Boxing After Dark" because that show uses a different commentating team. Kellerman got Pacquiao vs. Clottey while Merchant will get Mosley vs. Mayweather- I can ure you that it had nothing to do with Merchant getting "blitzed" before the fight, although since he knew he wasn't commentating for the fight, he probably did anyway ;-)
