Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant's Take on The Nonito Donaire Situation

[TheMexHurricane]

Larry Merchant the Mexiphobe has waged war on the impoverished Fighters outa Mexico and has hurt their ability to make money and feed their children. Billion$ are paid yearly by corps to promote their products via T.V. commercials because much more will be earned from the positive publicity. When Merchant makes negative comments to million$ of viewers regarding Mexican fighters it results in a diminishing of their ability to make money and feed their kids. Turnabout is fair play. As Mexicans explode in #'s we need to remember Merchant's kids and grandkids and diminish their ability to make $$$ by boycotting any businesses or products they own or invest in. Just watch and wait, Larry. Just watch and wait.:smileysex

To bad. All the Mexiphobic H.B.O. execs and Merchant had to do was be objective like their profession requires and all would've been happy. Mexican fighters have enabled these bigots the ability to earn great money and this is how they repay us. Kinda reminds you of the early part of the last century and the way black fighters were treated. Just wait. Just wait.

Actually when Mayweather fought Baldomir (who was the legitimate welterweight champion), he earned $8,000,001 to poke fun at Arum and Margarito. But hey, those are mere triflin facts that those of us who were actually following the sport back then remember instead off regurgitating things that we've heard from others who only started following the sport in the 2-3 years. Carry on.

Actually Floyd had to pay some of that money back, and then take away the 750k he paid to buyout his contract in order to duck Margarito. He made around 7mil in the Baldo fight, a mili less.

The beauty of it is that Merchant and the H.B.O. execs thought their wouldn't be a reckoning for their behavior when they were doing what they were doing. LOL!

I agree with Merchant, business is business.

Unfortunately, Arum takes business very personally.
