Thread: Larry "The Lush" Merchant

It's been a running gag around the boxing world that he's no stranger to the bottle. Iv'e never really paid much attention to it until tonight during the 24/7 live telecast. I see what you people are talking about. Man

I see nothing wrong if Larry likes a tipple sometimes on a big night. For instance you know it's gonna be a Mayweather fight and less than exciting and so you have a couple of gin and tonics. No big deal. Larry is old, let him have his little fun.

Yeah and he used to do it for the Lewis fights, too. You know, or for anything lethargic like long looping rights or rabbit punches.

I love Larry Merchant. He says some funny shit sometimes, and is always honest!!!
He has had some truly great comments over the years. He might be slow, but what he says is usually witty and worth the wait.

so what if he takes a drink before the event to loosen him up...he deserves it.
