    I'm not saying that Merchant's a clansman or anything. But I do think he thinks at least partially in terms of race when judging people.
    What hardcore evidence do you have?

      I guess I shouldn't call a guy racist unless I have genuine proof. But I think some other guys on the forum might remember something he said or did that was pretty bad.

      Anyway, maybe you're right and I'm wrong. That was just my impression of him.

        He seems like an *******, but I don't think he's a racist.

            I still don't know why he's so hard on Hopkins, though. Doesn't seem to like him much.

                some people said he was racist becuz of how he conducts himself towards some black fighters agfter fights
                like with lenox after vit and floyd after castillo 1
                but as i said b4
                he was rude to them
                but it seemed to be becuz he was tryin 2 get them to acknowledge that they had a gift fight
                and they were both just actiin like they truly won those fights fair n square

                    It was a showcase fight. I didn't hear much from HBO during David Reid's 2nd round KO of Nick Rupa. It was a showcase fight for an up and coming prospect. Who gives a **** about Diaz.

                      Personally the hbo crew works really well because its a good mix of personality. As for old man Merchanct he has no place taling about Floyds personal business whether it is justified or not period.
