Why is Larry Merchant's final comment about a Showtime fight?

[neils7147933]

They trash Tyson on the Cotto fight against the PPV, now they trash him against the replay on the Tarver fight.

Pretty unprofessional, if you ask me, not to mention disrespectful to Glen & Antonio on a night they put on a good show...

I agree. I dont understand what the spite over Tyson was. He already claimed he was through "embarrasing the sport", they should just let him go out in peace, without all that jazz.

And like you say, and the eve of the great fight we just saw, howcome larry was stealing the show? Odd.

I just became a Tarver fan, and even more of a Merchant hater.

And why would he even bring it up when Tyson is now retired? I don't get that. Maybe Merchant was well into his second jug of Memphis moonshine.

LOL. He kept looking down at his watch, because I think they must have stopped selling drinks around this time at his favorite oldies club.

merchant is a peice of trash...half the time it seems like he dont even kno what hes talkin about...

[oldgringo]

Yeah I thought that was a bit odd too. Merchant was definitely on Beale street getting faded before the fight...

That's because he doesn't. That man is only kept around for the tension he creates. If they kept people for boxing knowledge, his ass would be kicked the the curb. Most of us here know more than he does.

Who cares if Merchant thrashed Tyson. Tyson thrashed himself in the first place. All his achievements were just nullified by all the crazy **** he did inside and outside the ring to disrespect the sport. All that being said, I still hope he'll be able to pay his debts, courtesy of the ****** fans in his website who thinks that their money will be used by Tyson to pay his debt. For all I know, Mike's giving them the finger and saying "Suckah!"

You're missing the point. This was on a RIVAL NETWORK telecast after two HBO televised fights and Merchant wanted to talk about a week-old PPV event that was being replayed on the competitor.

Merchant might as well have said, "If you hurry and change the channel, I believe the West coast feed is about to start..."
