No, my friend is a tele-communications supervisor for HBO fights, and tapes everything.
Alot of this stuff doesn't reach the air-waves.
Too bad,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

George Foreman is 'way too cool'

One more blast;

Larry Merchant;
'It's well known George, that the WBA always rates the Oriental & Pacific
Boxing Federation Champion in the Top 10, and sometimes #1.

George Foreman;
'Do you mean, that the guy at that Chinese Restaraunt, who delivers my food is rated #1 by the WBA'.

Larry Merchant;
'Well,,,,um I'm not sure, why'.

George Foreman;
'Because every time I order a #1 from that restaraunt, the same Chinese guy shows up'

 

Jim!

 

Larry Merchant;
'George, I know that I'm not well liked, by some people'

George Foreman;
Larry, your not well liked by any people'

Larry Merchant;
'This is strategy now, just like when Patton planned his attacks verse the Germans'

George Foreman;
Larry, this fight is between a Mexican guy and a Phillipine guy, when actually did
Mexico invade the Phillipines'

 

Larry Merchant discussing Duane Bobick with George Foreman;

Larry Merchant;
'George, he looked like he was going to be something. I saw him, and I thought
Wow, what a good fighter.

George Foreman;
'Well, Larry, sometimes it doesn't work out'

Larry Merchant;
'But Eddie Futch and Joe Frazier took him on. They worked with him endlessly on technique, jabbing, hooking, fighting on the inside, clinching, rolling with punches.
Working him out for hours on end, building up his strength, hiring a food nutrionist,
a conditioning coach, a massage therapist, a hypnotist and everything you could think off.
What would you have told him.

George Foreman;
'Duck'

 

Il Duce,

Larry Merchant discussing Leon Spinks with George Foreman;

Larry Merchant;
'Did you ever think, that Leon Spinks with all of his 6 wins would beat Ali.

George Foreman:
" No, Larry, it was amazing'

Larry Merchant;
"If you had to come with one thing to say about Leon Spinks, that nobody else has about that fight, what woud it be.'

George Foreman;
' The guy had more fights, than teeth'.

 

Larry Merchant to George Foreman discussing the WBA Ratings policies;

Larry Merchant:
'Well George, the WBA rated this guy #8, he must be qualified'.

George Foreman;
'Larry, the WBA automatically gives the champion of Northern Mongolia a #7 Rating,
and that village only has 14 people in it'.

 

I never forget in the Trinidad vs. Joppy fight, the girl they had to sing the national anthem. She was horrible, and and after she finished, Merchant goes, "that was an unworthy performance of the national anthem." One of the few moments he said something simple that was funny instead of saying a complicated harang.
