Was Floyd classless in what he said to age 80 Larry Merchant tonight?

[The Noose]

Merchant said nothing wrong in the interview.

Nothing at all.

Larry wasnt being fair in that he was only looking at what Floyd did, and not saying anything about Ortiz's butt.

I can understand Floyd getting pissed. He said calmly that Larry should interview Ortiz instead, but Larry became pushy (IMO), and surprise surprise, Floyd lost it.

please elaborate on what floyd's "role" is in your opinion? like the previous posters have been saying before larry's always been condescending towards floyd and mayweather finally snapped at larry......big ****ing deal

Stop acting like dumb jocks actually do anything of any importance. When Floyd and other dumb jocks actually contribute anything of any worth to humanity then they can b1tch about people being condescending.

Sorry to say it but am glad someone went in on this old sterile fool, He seems to me he still lives in the 40s/50s where every ethnic minority boxer have to act humble to class as class, this idiot has been doing this ***** to boxers for a long time, he need to realise that this is the 21st century and his racist asss need to either retire or go away.

You're right, he should not expect people to act with class anymore because society's infested with lowlifes and scumbags.

He should lower his standards to a degree that reflects the type of people he's interviewing. Like Mayweather.

I agree he's a fool for expecting roses from a bucket of shit.

It was bound to happen. Larry's been condescending to Floyd in interviews and when calling his fights for ages. Larry's never had any real respect for Floyd, so Floyd went off and disrespected Larry last night.

Did you guys forget that Tyson went to Showtime over Larry Merchant? Oscar De La Hoya also tried to have him fired.

I've loved watching Larry's crazy ass over the years, but he does talk down to a lot of fighters, so I'm not surprised or even upset that Mayweather went off on him. What he said wasn't a lie.

Larry is condescending to him because Floyd is a bullshit artist and brings it on himself for fighting bums for years.

If Floyd doesn't like it, he should not be a fraud.

You should give props to Larry shithead, he represents people who wanna see better quality fights.

Yes it was extremely undignified but then money can never buy class...what was sickening was Leonard Ellerbe egging him on by saying ' you heard him' when Larry said
" what are you talking about "

[BattleAxePurist]

We all knew what he was going to ask next.

That was in all likelyhood a portion of his behavior along with the way the fight ended and not really wanting to deal with the whole situation so he throws a hissy fit and stomps off LoL at ellerbe chimming in when jr when off he sure seems to have rage issues of late

Exactly! Merchant has zero class, He has prove that over the years with the way he conduct himself and nice that you notice his lower class too.

I haven't read the previous posts, so it may have been mentioned before, but it kind of looks as if Mayweather and Schaefer had some agreement earlier on to end the interview short (perhaps before questions about Manny come up as I think May-Khan is next).

Mayweather and Schaefer look at each other, Schaefer nods his head, and then Floyd goes on his rant and ends the interview.

Merchant is from an ethnic minority himself (he's ***ish).
