Larry Merchant is a bitter old jealous hater who needs to hang up the mic. Here we have a fighter in Floyd who busts his ass for 8-9 weeks to take on a fighter that was considered dangerous and the WBC Champ. He goes into the fight doing well and Victor has a mental error and head butts Floyd Clearly on Purpose. The action continues and Floyd hits the guy with a 1-2 that stops Ortiz. Then after that at the post fight interview where it's suppose to be Floyds time, Larry completely spoils it Again for Floyd. Even during the fight Larry's comments were completely aganist Floyd pointing out the negatives. I can understand why Floyd lost his cool with Larry. Larry needs to go. The FNF crew is better than Larry.

Remember its Larry's job to go in there and get the best interview possible. I think he accomplished his goal. The fact that we're talking about it, says it all.

I have no problem w how Mayweather retaliated on Ortiz.

I did think he went apeshit on Larry for no real reason. I mean, it had me thinking WWF all the way.

i love larry merchant despite not always agreeing with him. i don't know why everyone is all incredulous. it was a good night of boxing, floyd scored a legit KO, and now on to the next business at hand on Nov 12.

Floyd flippin out on Merchant was uncalled for. He was probably still upset about the fight.

I can't agree.. hbo time and time again disrespects the fighters that actually provide their income. Ive been waiting for someone to go off on these guys. After a fight a man is either at his highest/lowest/most frustrated state of the night and to constantly hear the hbo guys ask disrespectful to them at this point is completely out of line. I don't think any other sport attempts to take away from their athletes accomplishments as much as boxing does. People need to respect the fighters, they are the reason they get a pay check.

I like what Larry said at the end of thebroadcast. he thought Floy went apeshit because he though the manny questions were coming next. Maybe Larry has a point.

Doubt he's upset about the fight. He won and he got paid a lot.
