Was Larry Merchant's question to Mayweather "too painful"?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I think the problem is on how Larry was acting like such a troll. Asking questions in a way that were just out of line with the truth just to make the question 'tougher' than normal.

The key point for me, is that Larry was trying to get Floyd to comment on an 'unfair advantage' that in the cold light of day really wasn't unfair at all... So obviously Floyd went into victim mode and went all teenager on Larry.

I mean Larry is proper grown-up-funny but he definately is biased and has a prick mentality to boot.

...EDIT...Of course Floyd is a prick too but at the end of the day it was his fight, not Larry's and as I said before, it's a shame that Larry decided to voice the opinion of the ill informed.

That is why it's up to Mayweather to provide the proper answer to educate the ill informed.

LOL, yeah alright fella...

Doesn't really work like that though does it? A boxer having to point out the rules & facts of boxing to a long standing and established boxing pundit who is biased and asking silly questions right after violently destroying someone in very sinister and shewed manor all while being booed and jeered?

You cant hold court in those circumstances...

I don't see where you are coming from. Merchant wasn't asking any sily questions, Mayweather randomly blew up like a balloon it was totally uncalled for. Floyd was 100% in the wrong this time.

He blew up in a sort of half preventative half dismissive way because he knew Merchant was on his case about this assumption of the so called 'unfair advantage'.

Then Larry has the cheek to go over to Ortiz and ASK if the head butt was intentional!

I honestly think Larry and a lot of bonehead fans completely missed the actuallity of what happened Saturday Night.

You talk of pre-emptive, but only one man sucker punched and what happened prior was punished. Floyd was not punished for being a completely opportunistic git.

Maybe you miss the actuality and I spell it better and that is why I live in Korea with my complete lack of respect for the Queen.
