Merchant took shots at Floyd Jr last night.

Its from the time Floyd went absolutely ape**** at him in the post-fight interview, I can't remember what fight it was, Baldomir maybe, but Floyd basically told Merchant to go **** himself. Prior to that Merchant merely disliked the pretty boy.

Floyd became really defensive and emotional over a simple question. Floyd stated that he put on a good show. Larry in return asked Floyd if he thought the crowd enjoyed the show, being that they were booing and walking out mid-fight. Floyd then went off on Merchant. I saw it as a legitimate question. Funniest part is when Floyd told Larry that he aint nothing but a commentator and should stick to commentating. Larry then fired back "well that's what im doing, im commentating and im asking u a question" LOL.

Once again, if you are in the media and do your job thoroughly, you are a bully and harbor animosity towards others. Yeah, right.

Here's the vid for those who have never seen it. You be the judge. Was Larry out of line, or was he just doing his job?

An athlete being standoffish with the media because of criticism? Get right out of town!

You is a biased journalist.

You is a biased journalist.

Biased towards accuracy perhaps.

Don't be absurd. Boxers are 100% truthful at all times, especially when promoting a fight.

I think that Mayweather is an insecure person. Maybe I'm biased because I dislike him, but that's genuinely how it seems to me.

He wants popularity. It was a constant thing in his career that he had all this talent and simply could not attract fans. He was saying his face should be painted up on hotels 80 feet high when none of the big boxing venues even wanted him. You could see after the Hatton fight he was in awe of Hatton's support and actually enjoyed having the atmosphere.

I think most fans know what's going on more times than not, they know who is being truthful and who is being spiteful. It's whether or not they embrace that info that is of consequence.
