Since the job entails doing a one-on-one interview with those elite fighters where sensitivity is a must to get out the best for the coverage, I am guessing that rapport with these personalities play a major part in getting the call for these assignments.
For sure, Larry has a good working relation with the PacMan, he has covered him as far back as the Ledwaba fight, where Pac was still then in the undercard. It could be a Tyson fight, I'm not sure.
larry tends to interview the easier to talk to fighters who arent gonna give him grief ala
acquiao, hatton, klitschko
Kellerman rightfully does the guys who can get pissed off easily, mayweather, calzaghe, johnson
one dangerous horrible bloke
