    that was after Zaragoza-McCullogh. Some claim it was a drunken fan. I still wonder how he made undetected it all the way into the ring, and to Merchant, before finally being "restrained" by the production assistant chick.

    It is funny, nevertheless.:lol:

    GREAT clip. I remember that happening, but the slo-mo was just hilarious.
    The motherfucker's covered boxing for 40 years. You've done NOTHING for the sport of boxing, and you bitch twice as much.

    In the SHORT Span of Time that REED has "Covered" Boxing, REED has Shown TWICE as Much OPTIMISM about the Sport as Merchant has in 40 Years...

    REED ISN'T a Fan of Overt NEGATIVITY, which just So Happens to B YOUR SCHTICK...

    If Merchant were a POSTER, he'd B YOU...

    & NO, that WASN'T a Compliment...

    worst moment to pick on Rubio... and there are LOTS!

    It's a stupid thing to say, Larry Merchant has done nothing for the sport. He is a part of the machine who brings that shit to your homes.

    Writing for Fightbeat isn't covering boxing. You have maaaaybe 20... 40... 50 people reading your articles, and most of them not even reading your articles to the end.

    HBO Would have NO PROBLEMS Existing w/Out Merchant...

    Being "a Part" of HBO Doesn't Give Merchant the RIGHT to Act like He INVENTED the Mouthpiece & Boxing Gloves...Or to CONSTANTLY Question a Fighters COURAGE from Ringside...

    FUCK that Old, JADED Prick...

    REED Stands by his Remark...NOBODY has Bitched MORE while Doing LESS, in the HISTORY of Boxing...

    2 Hear Merchant Bitch, U'd Think he Won SEVERAL World Titles...Or even A World Title...Or even had A Fight...

    so what there are a LOT of people who like Larry Merchant so he has done a lot for THEM maybe not for you, but u can't generalize your personal preferation. So saying he has done nothing is still stupid.

    For a lot of guys HBO wouldn't be the same without Larry - you can have your opinion of him, but don't pull a Hegman in terms of boxing yournalism. Merchant has done a lot.
