Larry Merchant is no longer a journalist -- he is a commentator for HBO. There is a huge difference between the two and their required levels of objectivity.
PC: I can't call it man. And you have had your run-ins with the post-fight interviewer before, except you got into it with Jim Gray. Whart did you think of the Mayweather/Merchant aftermath? James Toney: I loved it. This content is protected This content is protected . We put a lot of work into this **** and I know I ain't letting none of them talk crazy to me; I ain't done with them either. This content is protected . merchant has been disrepspecting fighters since I can remember, so karma is a *****. he got disrepsected.
So, do you think people would like to hear biased commentary from an old fool? I would much rather mute him to have the real idea of whats going on. How many times have you seen Floyd land crisp ripping right hands in the fight and Larry was quite as hell and as soon as he was backed up on the ropes, Larry gets a boner even though most shots were missing widely. What kind of impression of that fight will a casual fan have after hearing Larry and Jim having their panties in a bunch. If it doesnt make sense please watch Mayweather-de la hoya with commentary on then off...will make sense for sure! :good
Toney knows wassup. And you guys wont understand this unless you are a self-respecting fighter. I wont let some smart **** with a mic talk **** to me either. Its easy to talk big **** on national TV when you dont have to fight .
yeah exactly man. And the emotionaly state you are in after a fight is crazy and your adrenaline is at it's highest so you could easily break down or get hot headed. After you break out in tears of joy, you don't want some ******* discrediting your win right away
I'm not sure if you were trying to think of the post fight interview after Mayweather / Manfreddy but I remember Larry saying something @ the end that caught my attention. But PBF politely nodded then, nothing like the Floydrage you see nowadays.
Larry is the MAN:smoke He knows how to expose bull**** & thats why Floyd & his sycophantic crew of creeps who yelp like dogs at floyds commands hate on him
