Floyd Mayweather Knocks Out Victor Ortiz, Lays Into Larry Merchant
Floyd Mayweather may have knocked out Victor Ortiz last night, but he was apparently still itching for a fight afterward ... with sportscaster Larry Merchant.
During the post-fight interview, Floyd started absolutely screaming at HBO's 80-year-old ringside reporter, yelling, "You never give me a fair shake."
"HBO need to fire you," the fighter continued, all up in Merchant's grill. "You don't know $h!t about boxing. You ain't $h!t! You're not $h!t!" Yikes. See below.
Larry Merchant didn't back down, barely even flinching at the outburst and telling the champ: "I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your a$$."
Damn, Mayweather. Who knew, you won by KO, but you still got served.
At least he didn't bring up Floyd's apparent history of wailing on women.

Despite a persons attitude whether they are in the ring or out of the ring. I was always taught to respect your elders no matter what but when you don't have no up bringing what are you to do. Even though Mayweather said what he said does that make Larry Merchant a better person saying what he said.....

In ten years where will this boxer be? Will he be broke? On drugs? Homeless? A true champion would simply smile an say "we touched gloves, and the fight was back on". Offer the rematch in a respectable way. Not with attitude. So far he is just proving to the public he is a woman beater, disrespectable to older people. He needs to learn how to roll off questions like a good punch. He can still win the public opinion.

'Unfortunately the sport of boxing has in recent years become more about money, manipulated by politics and trash talking by the press and HBO announcers like Larry Da Media Mercenary Merchant, most of whom don’t know anything about the sport of boxing, Floyd Mayweather correctly said it Larry “you don’t know s**t.”
Larry Da Media Mercenary Merchant in the post-fight interview with Floyd Mayweather Jr. asked why he (Floyd Mayweather) had “tagged Ortiz when things were going so well for him in the fight.”
This question and similar questions like this by Larry Da Media Mercenary Merchant directed at Myweather, designed to put Floyd Mayweather on the verbal defensive, should tell you something, not only about Larry, but should tell you more about what is going on behind the scenes with the boxing promoters and with HBO. That HBO would give a Media Mercenary like Larry Da Media Mercenary Merchant a free pass at being an a** on live television, is very telling indeed. What t

the unsportman attitude of floyed is disgusting to the boxing society including the affecionados and fans outhere.this guy is so proud of his glories but choses and beat opponents that he surely can defeat including whipping women and insulting older guys including his equal mouth father.Claiming pacman fight only his left overs..he was right except that the pacman perform better than him..he fought dela hoya by a discion,pacman badly punished dela hoya,he stopped hatton in the tenth round.pacman stops hatton in the early round.Pacman was better boxer he did not only fought floyds left overs but he also fought boxers whom floyed dodge to fight the like of cotto and margarito.He accused the pacman of using drugs without evidence thats why he keep on evading the lawsuit filed by the pacman.Indeed if he has evidence then why not face pacman in court?Now that the pacman gave in to his whims of drug test he is telling us he does not need the pacman.This floyd is a big joke to boxing hist
