    hmm

    Merchant talks too much **** about Roy and also got owned by Tarver in the last post-fight interview. Larry and Grey both have never been in a ring and they say **** they really don't know anything about. They think they own the ring after a fight and can behave however they want. Tarver, Roy and Toney have already set Merchant and Grey straight on those issues by either letting them know they can't talk cuz they've never been in the ring or by clowning them badly (like Toney did to Grey).

      Merchant! I love hearing that feisty old hobbit! he makes me laugh and fighters dont talk back to him for some reason, its because he can reason better then them. But grey fighters always talk back to him, just like how toney grabbed that mic.

        This is spot on.

        I hated Jim Grey's disrespectful "What???" to Muhammad Ali. That made my blood boil.

        Here's a question though: has Merchant always done those dreadful Jerry Springer monologues though? I've only just recently seen them, and they stink the place out. He can be funny though, and he has about fifty times the personality of Grey. Grey's just a stuffed shirt.


        In terms of individual moments though, I reckon Grey gets the ***el with the unforgettable Toney interview.

            The one that was pretty ****ed up was when merchant was talking about the katrina storm and then he was gonna cry and jim lampley stole his moment and said "ok now we will take a look at some upcoming shows on hbo" hahahah that was funny but cold at the same time.

              Maybe you should ask who is the bigger *******.
              In this case Grey clearly dominates.

                Wallet or Man Purse? They both suck, I carry a money clip.

                  Merchant of course! He's got personality! Jim Grey is as boring and dull as my butter knife! Larry throws out some of the ******est comments I've never thought imaginable and yet gets me to crack up. He's an old fart that definitely would be missed by me if HBO didn't have him anymore. Jim Grey who? BTW-Last night, I think he was annoying me more than Castillo about the weight issues. Talk about killing the mood. Of course, if he's being told to ask those questions through his ear piece which I always take into account when listening to them, then it's not his fault. I'm sure it was Showtime producers and whatnot wanting to get to the bottom of it before he left.

                    Neither Merchant isnt even a true fight fan either imo.

                    I saw him last night at a Santa Monica cafe during fight time eating something not watching the fight. On a super big fight like that even if it was showtime what kind of crap is that for someone with as much money as him, who is supposively a fan of the sport.

                    Anyway he dont gotta be a fan but it just proves why sometimes he says some supert ****** things, he isnt really into it.
