The only reason they (you) say that is because its Mayweather and you hate him.

I'll leave it there.
Actually I'm a Floyd fan, I just think he is a dick at times.

He should be in court. I still stand by that. It's not an over reaction. What if Merchant had a heart attack?

A quick google trawl, it happens all the time.

There are just a few seperate stories, all of them involved much younger than Larry Merchant.

I truly found it, and still do, absolutely sickening.

Floyd is also currently on eight seperate charges of domestic violence. If that was a normal guy in public on that many charges acting that way they absolutely would be in court.

One of the veteran posters here got sent down for a few months after arguing in the street with his girlfriend.

As I said above Arreola got a six month boxing ban for swearing in a friendly interview.

He should, and believe will, get a large fine, and a ban for this. It's not idiotic or over the top, it's absolutely right. He's a role model to millions, he should be made an example of.
I'm a nice guy myself but still find the prospect of having to go to court for telling someone off/yelling at them a bit scary.

I imagine lawyers would be even richer if things got to that point.
