Why does HBO still have Larry Merchant calling fights?

He is an institution for them?

Because, he's still better than the heir apparent which is Max Kellerman.

It should always be RJJ, Steward and Lampley. And then Max can jump in for Roy or Emanuel when one of them are away on training camps.

Cuz Larry is the one who allows Lampley to smell his underwear.

Because Larry is the ****ing man. Now go choke yourself.

They already replaced Larry Merchant with Max Kellerman. It's just Larry Merchant joins as an extra commentator these days.

cause he's a legend.

anybody who calls a boxer boring to his face in the an interview is cool in my book

Merchant is a legend, he's a straight OG. He speaks his mind.

Max Kellerman however....one night he's calling Pac the GOAT, the next night is criticizing his wins. Starting to think the dude is Bipolar.
