Before Paul williams won his fight, larry Merchant was already pumping up a Floyd Mayweather Paul Williams match. After the shane fight he wanted him to fight Martinez at middleweight. He did the samething to Roy Jones when he was at Light heavy weight trying to make him fight heavyweight
Merchant just want's to see competition. That & he like's to watch fighters beat the **** out of each other. Win/Lose. Thats why dude was always on MAB's nut's. Barrerra had all the ability + he would stand & trade. (a throw back) Let's not forget Larry is as old as dirt, he is from a different era. I'm defo sure he was a fan of Floyd's win against Mosley.
:good Exactly. Larry comes from the school of thought that a professional prizefighter should be entertaining audiences inside the ring, and should be seeking out the most challenging obstacles on a regular basis.
Larry loves that Crunk, he wants that crunk, while drinking straight out the bottle. Mayweather vs Williams is crunk!
Say what you want about him, he is a senile bigoted buffoonish drunk old man, but he's great television. whether he's attacking Latino ppl who 'used their arms more on the swim over here' or straight up ***** slapping Paul Spadafora by saying he is **** regardless of his record, you've gotta love him.
Like I said before, Merchant likes to watch fighters "Fight". certain styles don't look to good after a couple shot's..
He seems to attack fighters he doesn't like when doing his interviews. He also tries to discredit them by saying they don't fight anyone.
