Comments Thread For: Sulaiman Backs Mayweather: Slams Merchant, Ortiz

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The World Boxing Council's Secretary General, Mauricio Sulaiman, is roundly criticizing HBO analyst Larry Merchant for the post-fight confrontation with Floyd Mayweather Jr., which took place last Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather knocked out Victor Ortiz in four rounds to win the WBC welterweight title.

About time someone ranked as high as Mauricio come through and tell it like it is.

I'm fine with Merchant being critical but he often fails to do objectively. Attacking Floyd and not asking Ortiz about the intentional headbutt is bad journalism. Merchant even had the nerve to hint that it was accidental. He handled the situation poorly and I really didn't like his attitude when he told Floyd that he would kick his ass. That's just as "low" as Floyd telling him that he "don't know **** about boxing". A veteran reporter should know better than that. If Merchant is too stubborn and old to realize he made a mistake, he should call it quits. In fact, he should've done it a long time ago. He acts like a barbarian in the 21th century. This isn't the 50's or 60's anymore Larry.

It's time to let Max do the talking.

The Sulaimans are salivating over the prospect of a big money fight, understandably they'd back the sucker puncher.

Floyd is gonna dump that belt faster than he sucker-punched Ortiz to take it! Money ain't gonna pay sanctioning fees!!!

Did Manny ever pay for the belt at 135 and the Diamond belt lol. I know Jose was talking some crap about Manny owing them some fees.

I counted 3 intentional head butts during that fight. Larry actin like Ortiz head butt was accidental and giving Floyd sh!it about what he did to Ortiz was disgracful. That old racist dinosaur got what he deserved period.

Larry should been on Ortiz's case for tryin that b!tch move, Ortiz got what he deserved too; sucka punched for tryin that dirty ****.

You wanna fight dirty with a head butt ok, then keep it dirty, don't try an make up and not expect some kinda retribution in return .....please.
