Do hbo commentators have a floyd bias?

[Freddie Roach]

I don't know about HBO but Sky were creaming themselves over Mayweather on Saturday/Sunday.

the only one to point out the fact that he fought genuine Super Featherweight was Jim Watt.

Cosign

It really was awful

Too Add to That Point:

When Manny Pacquaio Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Manny Pacquaio LOSE...


When Oscar De La Hoya Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Oscar De La Hoya LOSE...

When Kelly Pavlik Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Kelly Pavlik LOSE...

and more recently When Miguel Cotto Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Miguel Cotto LOSE...

and the most obvious in the Mayweather-Hatton Fight,
YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Hatton LOSE...

But you did get the Feeking that they wanted Mayweather to LOSE...



another example:

In the Jermaine Taylor fight against Kelly Pavlik
all you heard throughout the Fight was, What Jermaine Taylor was going to do wrong, and what he is doing wrong, and vice vesa What Kelly Pavlik was going to do right and what he was doing right....

and Once Again YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Kelly Pavlik LOSE...





Why Does The Perception exist with these fighters..??

Thats the Problem Mayweather Has with them...

IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WANT TO SEE HIM and certain fighters LOSE...

AND IF YOU ARE A FAIR MINDED COMMENTATOR THAT PERCEPTION SHOULD NOT EXIST...

BUT WITH THE HBO CREW IT DOES...

YOU GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE MAYWEATHERand certain fighters LOSE...


They are Paid to be FAIR COMMENTATOR'S, not AVID FANS.... SO any bias they have against certain fighters should be set aside as soon as they start calling the fight

Hbo Crew:"you Get The Feeling That They Want To See Mayweather Lose"

The Point Floyd is Trying to Make is that, The HBO crew Calls His fights recently as if they want him to Lose...

And being the Premiere Boxing Network, They should at Least Have the Perception that they dont care who wins the fight...But they dont...

YOU GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE MAYWEATHER LOSE...


Thats why He feels it is Racism...Because They do not give off the Perception that they are netural...

And where does that **** get the audacity to call someone else racist after things he has said recently ? particularly about Manny Steward.


People in glass houses should not throw stones.

I'm so sick of hearing this. As paranoid and defensive as Floyd is about being asked perfectly NORMAL questions, I think his fans are getting just as defensive for him.

HBO commentators give Floyd the same credit as any other fighter. The only thing gripe I can see that HBO commentators have against Floyd is that he hasn't fought the big names in his divisions that everybody wants to see him fight. Is that so horribly biased?!

In fact, HBO commentators don't even go as far as to say what I personally think: Floyd's resume needs to catch up to his mouth.

Either this was the first fight you have seen Floyd fight on HBO or you have no clue what you are talking about. Larry Merchant hates Floyd Mayweather and has never had anything positive to say about him, no matter how well he performs. However, he is quick to point out anything negative about him, and Jim Lampley often joins him. Merchant is a classic hater like the ones on this site. If Merchant had been calling that fight Saturday night, he would have been complaining from round 3 on about how boring the fight is, blah, blah, blah

[big_james10]

Well they didn't let Larry Merchant call that fight. I'm sure the Merchant would have had an interesting perception on the fight.


The HBO guys were trying to justify the fight in a way and I guess that's what they have to do to an extent, but the Merch is always pretty honest and doesn't just try and keep his job.

Merchant is a Mayweather hater and doesn't try to hide it. He has never had anything positive to say. If you don't believe that, go back and look at Mayweather's fights against Judah and Baldomir (the two best fighters in the division at the time for those of you who say he doesn't fight the best welterweights) and look at how Merchant constantly whined and criticized, especially in the Baldomir fight. Also, look at the De La Hoya fight against Steve "two-pound" Forbes. Forbes was a 135 pounder just like Marquez. He praised De La Hoya like he was beating up King Kong instead of a washed up has been.

[AztecWanker]

They aren't exactly biased but they do have their favorite fighters.

Lampley - Cotto, Barrera
Merchant - Pacquiao
Kellerman - Paul Williams, Floyd (somewhat)
Steward - Cotto

[Junito-Rulez]

Yes they do and they have good reasons for that.

They really hate on Mayweather and pray for his downfall, Floyd is not blind, he tells the truth when he says HBO team hates him. BUT when he talks about racism it's just plain ****** coz Emanuel Steward is his biggest hater and from what i know he's a black man.
Floyd doesn't answer the questions, disrespects his opponents, his fans( by not fighting the best) and cherry picks.
Yes they have a bias and are a lil bit dishonest sometimes(Steward telling that Floyd is not a great fighter, Ledermann scoring against Mayweather as much as he can, Merchant telling Pacquiao would beat Mayweather,etc..) but i understand why they do that.

[KILLA RIGHT]

haha max and emmanuel are fans of floyd jhe thinks the whole world is against him.hbo calls it like they see it

[Tha_Greatest]

they are biased, they for one thing say floyd is the welterweight king, they call him the second best fighter pound for pound even though his ****ty resume aint good enough to give him that claim, if anything hopkins, cotto and mosley should all be ranked ahead of this american fighter who has never beaten a ranked all time great in his prime or his size, instead he fights bruseles , baldomir and the big show,LOL, nyahahahaha, then he retires and gets ranked ahead of guys who do things that he wont do like cotto and mosley do, thats try to get fights and win fights with real welterweights, next thing you know floyd will go to puerto rico to challenge ivan calderon instead of miguel cotto,LOL,nyahahaha
