    You didn't criticize anything. You just flapped your mouth about a situation you know nothing about. You even bolstered my case by being from Denmark. You are clueless.

    Hey idiot, why don't you go look at the clip again and notice how when they pan over the US audience there are people on their free CLAPPING at the ripping into of Larry Merchant.

    Maybe if you actually took the time to understand why the man is hated you would get it. And yes, it is based in his racist attitude.

    Merchant should've dropped the issue sooner. He kept pushing and obviously wanted some kind of big reaction from Floyd. What did he want him to say? That he was sorry? That he shouldn't have done? That it should've been a NC? I think to some degree Merchant set Floyd up for losing it. But Floyd could've handled it much better.

    I am not racist. What other commentator do I call racist? I hate Dan Rafael, but I don't get the same vibe off of him. It is disconnected idiots like you who want to act like history didn't happen. It is your ignorance of yourself.

    STFU. "Leaves it all in the ring"? WTF does that mean? Gets hit a lot? You have to even make up these stupid nebulous terms to explain away the combative questioning of Merchant. Merchant is a *****. That is why people clapped when he was ripped. You don't recognize it because you probably live in a place that supports prickishness like that. (I love you though. :good)

    Now Mayweather is "boring"? According to who? You? Refusing to fight Pacfraud when Pacfraud won't drug test? There are now TWO fighters hwo have tested, fought, and been dominated. Damn you are an idiot.

    That isn't even it you MORON!

    Larry is ALLEGEDLY a professional. Why would his like or dislike ever enter the questioning equation? This is the issue! Merchants' seething dislike shines through in his interview style. He dislikes "certain" fighters. He tries to tear down "certain" fighters.

    The REAL issue here is that Merchant is your vile proxy so you enjoy the biased interviews and passive aggressive questioning.

    "Pacfraud" :lol:

    Like I said, you're a racist with a chip on your shoulder, crying racism because a commentator gives his opinion on a fighter who he is paid to comment on. Pathetic. I don't care what vibes you get. Childish, paranoid moron.

    Maybe Merchant is a *****, maybe he's biased, maybe he's the worst commentator in the history of the sport. To call him racist is wrong though.

    Psst...that's his job!

    Merchant is the same to every fighter he dislikes, regardless of colour or anything else.

    I dont see anything wrong that Merchant did there, he was actually giving Floyd credit for doing well and fighting aggresively.

    Mayweather is a disrespecrtful and an insecure vagina, caling his father a ****** and now this, yelling like a schoolboy at an older guy who was just asking him some questions. You are a top athlete of a sport, gotta know how to handle the press, and that wasnt it.

    I am no racist. You are just the average clueless majority member. It is not Larry's place to "give his opinion". It is Larry's place to ask questions relevant to the fight. EVERY time his personal prejudices overtake the situation.

    Says who? You? What do you think Merchant's bias stems from? The dude has called fighters BOYS! How many DIFFERENT people have to call the guy a racist before you say, "OK, maybe the guy is racist."? Right. You have no limits.

    There was a SIGNIFICANT amount of the crowd CLAPPING! Larry is an old man, as we all will be one day, and I would normally NEVER condone attacking him like that no matter how ignorant he comes across. However you have to ask yourself, what makes people throw out 99% of the unwritten law of respecting seniors when it comes to Larry?

    His job? To agitate guys with passive aggression who are soaked in adrenaline? That is his job? So what the hell are you upset about?

    Show me Larry put on this ignorant show with a White or Mexican fighter. I will be waiting for the posting of the link.
