Comments Thread For: HBO's Lampley Slams Mayweather, Draws Criticism

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Jim Lampley’s show-closing criticism of Floyd Mayweather Jr. on the newest episode of his HBO show late Tuesday night left Lampley a target of widespread criticism on Twitter and other social media sites Wednesday.

The HBO blow-by-blow announcer asserted in his final comments on “The Fight Game With Jim Lampley” that there’s no place in boxing for Mayweather’s increasingly boorish behavior and added the sport’s pound-for-pound king couldn’t retire soon enough. Boxing fans and writers have denounced Lampley’s assessment as an agenda-driven attack because Mayweather, once HBO’s flagship fighter, performs exclusively on Showtime as part of a six-fight, 30-month contract he signed with CBS, Showtime’s parent company, in February 2013.

HBO still upset they lost Floyd so now all they do is trash him.

They went extra hard on him on that show, I saw it last night. It was disgusting how jealous they are of Showtime.

The dumb ass network talked more about Showtime fighters/fights than they did HBO stuff. Dying network.

Oh damn they won't like this one.

Lampley literally had major hate in his eyes. He was going prime Larry Merchant on his little talk show. He had his whip out and everything. Plantation owner mentality.
