    During the Mayweather/Baldomir post fight interview, Mayweather catches a hissy fit when Merchant asks him if he (mayweather) felt the fight was entertaining since people were walking out before it was finished. Floyd then said "Well u dont know nothing about boxing. Stick to commentating"

    Larry replies with: "Well that's what i'm doing Floyd, i'm commenting and asking u a question" LOL.
