Larry Merchant is an *******!

[GunStar]

Larry is an arrogant ******* who has never fought 1 ****ing round...when Larry speaks...all I hear is blah blah blah....hey Larry, yeah you...Hey Larry...go fight one round and come back and tell us what it was like..otherwise...shut the f&%$ up.

Good post, I feel the same!

For the people that says that Larry doesn't like fighters like Floyd so that's make it OK for Larry being a **** in an interview after the fight, who the **** is Larry, he needs to do his ****ing job and not be a **** to the boxer he does not like.

HBO pays this ******* alot of money for saying how bored he is in 90% of their fights, if I was HBO I would've fired his ass by now. Larry gets the best seat in every big fight for free and top of that he probably makes $50,000 an hour for saying how boring a fight is.

merchant isnt racist,i remember him being real cool when he used to interview tyson after fights

Dude, the world does not revolve around Tyson. Larry didn't have the balls to talk **** to Tyson, because he knew Tyson was not sane!

....That's just the point. Larry is paid to give his opinion and paid to commentate. He isn't paid to kiss anyones ass or play politicaly correct. He's like your grandmother that calls out your Mom in frontof you or says things that make some cringe. You know he's just being honest and calling it like it is.

It's simple (and pretty logic if you think about it).. Floyd bored the crowd last week, while Wlad put on a performance that could attract more people back to boxing (especially for the division).. it's not rocket science..

He's paid to give his opinion but he is also paid to promote the product . It is a conflict of interest but a professional should know how and where to draw the line of when and how to do both. Which I feel Larry does not, there is no need to put down the fighter at any point ! A man is putting his life on the3 line in there and it is inconceivable to me that the professional that Larry is would tell fans that the fighter is boring and should risk his health unnecessarily when he clearly is in control with this 'boring' style.

I couldn't disagree with you more if I were Larry, himself.

Floyd shows no respect and is a ****y, arrogant guy.....Wladimir is courtouis and classy when speaking of the sport and his place in it.

That is what Larry, who has been around for a Loooong time respondes to; you act like an ass, you get treated like an ass...you act with class, you get treated with class.

It's the personalities that Merchant responds to....and yeah, I'm a Merchant fan and have been for a long time.

Yea right, he told Hopkins after stopping Morrade Hakkar, why is a fighting a bum like Hakkar, he never does that to the fighters he likes.

Sometime the so classy people are 10 time more *******s in real life!

Actually the Floyd fight was 10 times more fun to watch then the boring fight last night, the Wlad/Brock fight was a boring fight until the stoppage.

Many people enjoy watching fighters with great skills, not 2 big man dry humpping eachother for 7 rounds.

if larry was talking to tyson. if was in the 80s where his image wasnt tarnished and looked very sane.so that argument u have is out the window.
