Was Larry Merchant's question to Mayweather "too painful"?

[Vendettos]

Mayweather spat the dummy out, plain and simple.

I personally think he believes he was unfair and just tried to change the subject, from his shady victory, to something everybody would go "Ooooh" over. It worked.

And probably also to avoid the inevitable "Is Pacquiao next?" question. Again, it worked!
