Interview with Larry Merchant: Please Send In Your Questions

Dear readers,
From time to time, I get the opportunity and the pleasure of interviewing someone from the world of boxing. Sometimes it’s a fighter, sometimes a promoter and other times everyone else. To me, it doesn’t matter who I am interviewing, as there is a lot to learn from everyone. There are as many opinions as there are people out there, wouldn’t you say?
Having said all that, there are two names in boxing that I have always wanted to do an exclusive interview with. They are the best (in my opinion) boxing analysts and historians out there to date: Larry Merchant and Bert Sugar. Learning anything from them about boxing is as good as gold. Both have been involved in the sport for decades and both have seen it all many times around.
Soon, I will be visiting Larry Merchant at his home in California, and will have the chance to chat with him and ask him some questions. While I have a whole list of things to talk about with Mr. Merchant, I would like to extend this opportunity to all of my readers as well.
Please post any questions you may have for Larry and I will, on your behalf, make sure to ask him and report back to you in written, as well as audio or video form.

 

I would like to know who he feels will hold the mantle as boxing's biggest attraction in the wake of Pacquiao and Floyd's retirement.

 

I would like for you to ask him his thoughts on HBO locking out the Heavyweight division. Why they don't take the opportunity to put some promotional backing behind a guy like Wladimir Klitschko in order to jump start some interest.

Seems much more interesting than Tarver vs Dawson III, which they would probably air.

 

Ask him about the Litzau and Katsidis incidents.

 

His thoughts on HBO basically becoming a promoter.

 

Ask if when he does his interviews, whether he sometimes asks controversial questions that he doesn't really want to ask, but feels obliged to cause he feels that is what is expected of him by the fans?

 

What is his all time favourite fight he has seen live at ringside?

What would he change about boxing today?

Why do you feel the need to get pissed off your face on air?

 

Why he is a Mayweather hater ?

 

Ask Larry what would of happened had they not pulled him off that guy?

 

Thats a damn good question and one I'm curious about as well.

I would like to know what Larry honestly thinks about gay ass Max Kellerman? And if he was better served still doing boxing after dark instead?

 

Ask him if he thinks Pacquiao can take on Martinez.

 

^ This :good

 

wladimir klitschko bored the **** out of hbo for too long. no way is he getting anywhere near hbo

 

(thanks for involving the fans in the interview!)

"How do you see the Alexander v. Bradley fight playing out?"

"If you could make 3 fights in boxing, regardless of weight class and excluding Pacquiao v. Mayweather and Haye v. Klitschko(s), which would you like to see?"

 

Did he has any regrets about one question he asked before? One question he rather skip from his interview.
