    you gotta love larry

    or hate him

    here are some of his (in)famous lines, quotes and comments:


    "20 ca**** worth of diamonds unfortunately located in a setting of glass...

    and flawless versus jawless" (floyd-zab fight)
    ------
    “I think it all depends on how good this fight is. I don't know how to rank it. If this turns out to be a dramatic fight and Roy wins, people will look back at all three (in a fond way). But he has to win in a theatrical way. That would make it a great trilogy, maybe. Then maybe Tarver can go back to selling crack. Something he's good at.”
    ------
    Jim Lampley:
    “So, Larry, Floyd Mayweather wins the welterweight championship with a flawless display of self defense, then breaks into tears at the news conference saying that he’s underappreciated and vows that he’s only going to fight one more time. What’s goin’ on?”

    Larry Merchant:
    “I think he bored himself to tears, Jim.
    ------
    "He just drowned in Ocean's Eleven." -on Lennox being KO'd by Rahman
    ------
    (De La Hoya–Mayorga prefight)

    Jim Lampley:
    “Will the seething undercurrent of the buildup now be reflected in what we see in the ring?”

    Larry Merchant:
    “Probably. Sure, because Mayorga is a rude, crude dude in the ring as well as outside. In a sense, what we have here is class warfare with boxing gloves. Mayorga looks at him as a hated slumlord, and Oscar is coming to collect the rent.”

      "A celebrity who is here in bronze only. Oscar De La Hoya, the live version, is in nearby Anaheim, where his company got a $5 million fee from a t-shirt maker so that he would be personally involved the promotion of a mixed martial arts show. It would take that much, Jim, to get me to go to one of those things" - Larry Merchant

                    Larry pauses for drunken dramatic effect.
