I agree with this too. It was funny to see that old bastard get called out. i was wondering when someone was gonna do it intelligently (i can see James Toney just cussing him out)...Merchant's interview questions do depend on whether or not he likes the fighter that he happens to be interviewing and I have heard a number of racist remarks ("...and now Bowe will enter the ring to the sound of tribal drumming, no doubt reminiscent of and a tribute to his African heritage..." - this was a comment by Merchant on Riddick Bowe's entrance music in the second Holyfield fight. The music was Phil Collins 'In the Air Tonight'. Definitely an African tribute song...lol) and somewhat condescending questions in certain interviews. I thought it was great what Floyd Mayweather said. Merchant doesnt know shit about actual boxing. All he knows about is watching boxing and talking shit to make the people who he doesnt agree with or like to look bad. At the same time, his stupid comments and drunkenness can sometimes be highly entertaining, so I dont hate Larry. He's a good part of the show. He just needs to be put in his place sometimes.
