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

[Larry the boss]

Lampley calling Floyd a disgusting human being?? really?

[M4RK]

Bout time someone called it as it is. I applaud Lampley. Mayweathers done good things for boxing, but he could have easily done so much more and being more fan friendly. I mean its hard to like him, he makes boxing fans frustrated without clear reason.

Gotta draw the line some where.

[Pigeons]

Lampley should take his own advice. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

HBO must be really jealous of SHOWTIME.

Look at your rep power. What kind of boxing fan are u anyway? Theyre probably glad they dont have to deal with a hypocrite that never holds his words.

That's a cutting edge report right there.

HBO must be really jealous of SHOWTIME.

I wouldn't be if I were them. In my opinion HBO are still leagues ahead of Showtime in terms of their production values and analysis. Mayweather has two fights left and then it's probably advantage HBO again.

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.

Lampley should learn how to control his damn liquor..

Hes only telling the truth. Even mayweather's own fans were pretty disappointed by the recent ppv and the pricetag.

Show time regretting doing business with Fraudweather I bet they only had 300000 buys

Putting the hilarity of Lampley's comments to the side, his comments are somewhat disturbing. Most people, who have acknowledged their previous wrong, would feel uncomfortable talking about the subject matter; Lampley spoke as though he did know wrong which suggests he doesn't actually acknowledge or care about his previous transgressions.

Jim Lampley is an expert on domestic violence.
