    Well at least you can agree that Larry has never liked either of these guys...


    Other people on here try to pretend he's just a nice old man. No.


    He's an old dickhead, which is no better than a young dickhead. Floyd had every right to go off on him after the way he has constantly spewed hate in his direction for years and years.

    Come on man, Merchant has a history of racism. It's been going on for 20+ years. Nothing to do with Mayweather.

    He was so bad with De la Hoya, and his Mexican heritage, that Oscar tried to get him sacked 10 years ago.

    He was always terrible with guys like Ike Quartey, Mike Tyson, and other young black fighters as well.

    Larry Merchant only ever goes after easy targets - guys fans don't like. He wouldn't dare question Pacquiao, about say, drug testing

    I'd like Larry Merchant, if he treated all fighters the same.

    My problem with him is, his "tough questioning" only comes against the easy targets - the minorities

    Truth is, everyone knows Merchant goes into interviews with guys like Hopkins, Mayweather, Tyson, knowing their backgrounds, and doing his very best to upset them, and embarress them.

    Some fans like seeing guys like Hopkins and Mayweather embarressed, and upset.

    Some people think they're professional athletes, who've just risked their lives to pay Larry's salary, and he should probably be a bit more grown up

    If you ask me, Larry is going to get sacked.

    He'll probably survive that interview, but the guys been running his mouth in the media, ever since on it.

    He BARELY got away with mocking De la Hoyas Mexican background in 2003.

    He won't survive having both Mayweather and Oscar as his two biggest enemies.

    He used to do the same to Tyson as well
