    Harold Letterman's terrible pronunciations

    I was recently watching Jorge Arce vs Julio Ler from a few years back, and between rounds when they went to Harold for his assessment of the fight up to that point, he actually pronounced the name Jorge "Hor-Gay". The sad thing is that I wasn't even that surprised...with the treasure trove of fights that are on YouTube and dailyMotion these days, I've heard him butcher so many names it's not even funny. Larry Merchant was almost equal in his apparent disinterest in accurately pronouncing fighters names. I've always found it interesting, because these guys speak so highly upon fighters, hubbub the utmost respect for them and what they do, yet they sound like the personified stereotype of the dumb, willfully ignorant American...I mean the other guys had said the name correctly literally seconds before Harold failed miserably.

    Anyone else have any names they'd heard these guys pathetically mispronounce? I suddenly have the desire to put together a video of all of the examples I can find.

    I think if you want to rag on him for mispronunciation of names, you might want to learn how to spell his name correctly.

        Maybe he's talking about David Letterman's brother.
