Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant Has No Grudge With Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[edgarg]

but not ab

Nobody deny FLoyd's a idiot, but Larry Merchant don't know **** about boxing. Roy Jones Jr every single call he made is correct, Larry had made like 50% bad calls when commenting it's embarrassing.

In the meantime Jones is fighting in Outer Mongolia for a couple of hundred thousand, whilst Merchant is comfortably placed, enjoying his old age by doing exactly what he's always done, which is asking the questions which are most irritating and upsetting to the fighter, which is what the public and HBO want him to do, and which a good journalist ALWAYS does. What makes people such an expert. You're right about Mayweather,but not about Merchant, although Jones certainly kows his boxing. He just doesn't see the wide audience appeal of Merchant.Why anybody is affected by what a creep like Mayweather might spew puzzles me. What's in it for them?? Polemics and denunciation are only fit for an elementary school website.

Privelege and knowledge are not equal.

Nobody orders Boxing PPV's for LARRY MERCHANT!

I am just tired of the Lampley, Steward and Merchant team overall, they have become extremely Bias over the years and it goes beyond just "A MAYWEATHER FIGHT" you seen it during JMM vs Pacquiao their recent fight, I think the team of Bob Papa, Roy Jones and Max Kellerman is a BETTER TEAM because it is much more BALANCED!

Maybe replace Steward with Roy Jones so the Broadcast can Balance Out instead of just having 3 Bitter Old Man complaining about everything and cheer leading for 1 fighter

None of these guys are "Boxing announcers" or "analysts" they are HBO employees who have become so outfront in pushing HBO's agenda that it is nauseating at times. Merchant is just doing to floyd what he did to Ali and RJJ. Merchant doesn't seem particulalrly fond of young african americans that openly discuss their own greatness.

what ever Agenda he has, I enjoyed the HBO Broadcast Better when Lennox Lewis or Big George Foreman was in the Booth with Merchant because both would all him out for his ****** COMMENTS...compared to Steward who now just agrees with them because he wants to keep that job I guess

Of course he can't have a public grudge with Floyd or he won't get to work on Floyd's fights and get paid.

Hence the reason george and lennox got booted, although lennox wasn't that good. Merchant appeals to the older fan, which is boxings base.

It seems no matter what Merchant says, good or bad, the people aren't gonna like it.

I think most men generally don't hold grudges. Especially if nobody's wife or mother was ******.
