    He is just an old drunk who calls in sick at times.

    I think his last outing with Floyd left some of the HBO exec's none too happy.

    he never covers B.A.D cards or any card with bob papa commentating.

    he and Kellerman alternate on world championship boxing/PPV.

    Larry Merchant is a living legend! Lederman, on the other hand, needs to go.

    He did such a great job shamelessly hyping Pac over JMM, the HBO execs gave him a nice bonus & 2 months paid vacation. Larry's livin' it large in the south of France.

    Larry Merchant is a journalistic God who is getting old, and his drunkeness doesn't help.
    That being said, one plastered Larry is worth 50 wide eyed Kellermans.
    Of course, one of Larrys sins is trying to get Mayweather to discuss his blatant cherry picking, and the ****y Floyd calls for HBO to dismiss him.

    I agree. Love 'im or hate 'im, he's entertaining.
