DO you all agree with Mayweather when he said...

[tredh]

tredh, if i was a boxer, on fmj's level, and i just won the fight, and know that, as soon as i finish that 2 or three minutes in that post-fight inverview, that I was cashing a check for 20 million or so dollars for an hour's worth of work, tredh, that player hating interviewer, can say what he wants, about my performance, because i'm still the boss player, as long as i won, and I'm counting way more cash, than he is on that night, and probably future nights, my man, but thats just me...tredh, in life, most of us work crappy jobs for bum paychecks, and have to deal with far worse people on a day to day basis, than larry merchant...real talk...lol

speaking directly, regarding post-fight interviews involving floyd mayweather jr, and larry merchant, larry merchant, will always start off the interview by congratulating fmj on his victory, and point out the positives in the performance, but larry merchant, honestly, can't just sit there and ballwash floyd mayweather jr. either...it seems to me, that the hbo brass, seems to support larry merchant's style of interviewing, larry merchant, has been with hbo for years, probably before floyd mayweather jr., was born, so its up to floyd mayweather jr., to maintain his composure, and be able to mack his way out of the situation....that's not to say tredh, that you are wrong in your opinion...

The bold is 100% true I give you that. That is why I also said maybe that is Merchant's job cause he has done it for years and HBO hasn't made him change it. Suprised they allow Lampley to call fights completely wrong though. I swear if a person had to hear Lampley call a fight only by listening on the radio or if a person was blind Lampley would have them thinking the wrong person was winning.

Floyd is right merchant doesnt know what goes on in the ring, he can have opinion on it but thats it. Roy has corrected him many times, on why a fighter was doing a certain things etc

[Larry the boss]

i disagree you dont have to be a fighter to follow,study and understand the sport.but you dont have to attack a fighter after everyone one of their fights either

One color comentator and a well spoken former boxer is all that is needed.

HBO has too many non-fighters talking about shi.t they don't know and scoring punches that don't land..

NASCAR has RACERS commenting and just ONE color guy/journalist type running his trap..

Personally..when I'm watching a fight..tennis match...car race...football game....ect ect..I don't want to hear shi.t from somebody that hasn't been done it...

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Just look at George Foreman or Lennox. They're two of the best ever but they often sound borderline ******ed when they try to talk about whats going on in a fight.

Whenever Big George did fights, my dad used to mute the TV. It never failed.

[brettWall]

Just like what anyone would expect. Floyd fans agree, non-Floyd fans don't. You'll rarely see objective, unbiased opinions nowadays. The ass kissing will always manifest.

Who is doing the announcing for the NFL on Fox? Ex Pros or Joes? There you go.

I like Gabe Montoya and Steve Kims approach. They will occasionally train and spar. Helps them get a grasp on what their job really is. Understand a fighters mentality. Understand the sacrifice of each camp and the risks that come with each fight.

larryx...i think, prima donnas, like fmj, look for too much sympathy, when it comes to situations, that they don't have any control over...what fmj is saying, in so many words, is fmj, doesn't like how larry merchant interviews him, so hbo should get rid of him...larryx, maybe fmj, should take a history lesson, and watch how muhammad ali, used to deal with the tough questions, that howard cosell, would throw at him...most people remember, muhammad ali and howell cosell, being mad comedy, because they were on opposite ends of the spectrum, but on the low, howard cosell, was muhammad ali's worst nightmare, because howard cosell, had balls of steel, and didn't ballwash muhammad ali...
