I'm all for it.
I love how Atlas has his own opinions about everything. He isnt like every other commentator.
Only reason they keepin Merchant is nostalgia, which is a valid reason if you ask me... but i want atlas lulz
I mean they could keep Merchant and get Atlas as well. That'd be pretty entertaining and Balanced commentary. Just have him alternate with Steward, or Kellerman, hell throw Tarver into the mix and allow someone other than Merchant to do the post fight interviews...
Whatever you want to say about Floyd he makes a lot of money for HBO.
If he doesn't want Larry Merchant to commentate on his ppv's it's as simple as threatening to fight on Showtime if Merchant is on his events. Floyd doesn't have to talk to Merchant. Who is he? He never trained, never fought, and never promoted. He ain't signing any checks over at HBO so who cares if his feelings got hurt? If he can speak his mind Floyd can call him out on his bias as well.
He is a foking Boxer, not Mariah Carey.
What next? He needs his water to be chilled at 70 degrees? His choice of commentators? How about final cut of HBO 24/7?
GTFO, they should kick him to the curb if he tries any of this BS.
Even Fighthype, when Floyd gets interviewed, they seem real selective on what they want to ask him. It's not right I admit, it's almost like a Twilight Episode I seen years ago where this kid had complete power over his family, they'd give him everything but one minor slip up and they ended up paying for it, kid was evil. They just seem very afraid to push Floyd off the edge.I remember that episode, it was some scary shit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Good_Life_%28The_Twilight_Zone%29
I think I was 6 when I saw that episode. The kid scared the crap out of me.
Maybe they should hire Fat Dan Rafael too. He agreed with Floyd too.
Jeez, Floyd is such a fucking diva. Praise him, praise him, shower him with kisses!!!!!
If he actually watched the fight, Merchant was giving him major props. Sure, Merchant was criticizing him throughout the fight sometimes but that's what happens when Floyd sets the standard.
"Floyd gave an outstanding performance." - Larry Merchant.

Teddy Atlas is known as being one of the bigger retards in American Boxing.
So pretty much up Floyd's alley.
and Floyd is butthurt because people not sucking up to him? He does know the world doesnt revolve around him.
Is he going to ask Obama to step down cuz he said some means words, wahh wahhh waah waaah
