    Hbo Crew:"you Get The Feeling That They Want To See Mayweather Lose"

    I think The HBO Announcement team, Are Pretty Fair except for Manny Steward. Manny Steward is MAYWEATHER's most Bias commentator and Critic .... Period...


    Jim Lamely and Larry Merchant have called the fights for almost all of Floyd Career..

    And They have had their moments, where you can say, they are being to overly critical, and they also had they moments were they give Floyd his respect..

    The Problem they have is, They are not balance in their Announcement.

    The Hatton fight for example..:

    All of them said BEFORE THE FIGHT (On fight night),
    • "My heart is for Hatton.."
    • but my head says "Mayweather"


    What Fair Minded Announcers would say that, right before the fight..
    and

    you could see they felt that way because during 2/3 of the fight they were making every excuse they could into why Mayweather Could Lose the fight...

    They even had Hatton winning 5 Rounds, Some rounds where Mayweather Landed twice as Many Punches then Hatton landed, but they gave the round to Hatton..

    Not until the 8th Round when Mayweather show that the knock out was coming did they start saying that Hatton is bring the best out of Mayweather...That's the Problem.... THE HBO crew have no Balance...

    Thats the Problem Mayweather Has with them...

    IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WANT TO SEE HIM LOSE...

    AND IF YOU ARE A FAIR MINDED COMMENTATOR THAT PERCEPTION SHOULD NOT EXIST...

    BUT WITH THE HBO CREW IT DOES...

    YOU GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE MAYWEATHER LOSE...

    The Point Floyd is Trying to Make is that, The HBO crew Calls His fights recently as if they want him to Lose...

    And being the Premiere Boxing Network, They should at Least Have the Perception that they dont care who wins the fight...But they dont...

    YOU GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE MAYWEATHER LOSE...


    Thats why He feels it is Racism...Because They do not give off the Perception that they are netural...

    Too Add to That Point:

    When Manny Pacquaio Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Manny Pacquaio LOSE...


    When Oscar De La Hoya Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Oscar De La Hoya LOSE...

    When Kelly Pavlik Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Kelly Pavlik LOSE...

    and more recently When Miguel Cotto Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Miguel Cotto LOSE...

    and the most obvious in the Mayweather-Hatton Fight,
    YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Hatton LOSE...

    But you did get the Feeking that they wanted Mayweather to LOSE...



    another example:

    In the Jermaine Taylor fight against Kelly Pavlik
    all you heard throughout the Fight was, What Jermaine Taylor was going to do wrong, and what he is doing wrong, and vice vesa What Kelly Pavlik was going to do right and what he was doing right....

    and Once Again YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Kelly Pavlik LOSE...





    Why Does The Perception exist with these fighters..??

    Thats the Problem Mayweather Has with them...

    IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WANT TO SEE HIM and certain fighters LOSE...

    AND IF YOU ARE A FAIR MINDED COMMENTATOR THAT PERCEPTION SHOULD NOT EXIST...

    BUT WITH THE HBO CREW IT DOES...

    YOU GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE MAYWEATHERand certain fighters LOSE...


    They are Paid to be FAIR COMMENTATOR'S, not AVID FANS.... SO any bias they have against certain fighters should be set aside as soon as they start calling the fight

      So what? That does not imply racism. It implies not liking *******s no matter what color.

        SO you guys can call it what you want.....

        But the Reality is that, The HBO CREW Does have a bias in commentating against certain fighters...

        Does it have it roots in racism, we will never know...
        but we do know that the bias in commentating exist...

        And it is a problem that they always had, and I feel that they will never fix...

        That is part of the Reason boxing is losing some fans....

        Because IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WANT TO SEE certain fighters LOSE...

        AND IF YOU ARE A FAIR MINDED COMMENTATOR THAT PERCEPTION SHOULD NOT EXIST...

        BUT WITH THE HBO CREW IT DOES...

          Like I said before They are Paid and have a responsibility to the sport to be FAIR COMMENTATOR'S, not AVID FANS.... SO any bias they have against certain fighters should be set aside as soon as they start calling the fight

            The HBO bias has always been there. This isn't anything new. I highly doubt it involves race.

            Other than Merchant rooting for Pavlik of course....

                Yeah, I think they always appreciated his skills but I think he got on their nerves after the Henry Bruseles fight. They waited a year only for him to fight Chop-Chop.

                I think they really wanted Gatti to beat him because Gatti brought a ton of fans in and was exciting to the casual viewer.

                I think Merchant didn't like Floyd much. I think Lampley jumps on the pee-pee of anybody that does half way well during a fight so at times he was a Floyd worshipper.

                Merchant didn't like him.

                  I think a lot of people in boxing dislike him. About the only commentator I've heard that likes Floyd is by surprise Teddy Atlas.

                  Its kinda sad because I really think Floyd is a good guy, he is just very out spoken. All the trash talking he does I get the feeling is usually just to try to get more draw to the fights. I mean you see how much he trashed Hatton before the fight but after the fight you would have thought they were best friends.

                  And argue if you want, but when Floyd talks about retirement and how people always think there is someone else he should beat he is completely true. What about Paul Williams? Cotto? Margarito? Mosley? Quintana? Thats 3 years of fights right there he would have to do before some people would think he should retire. And by 3 years there will be more names to that list.

                    Thing is who doesn't see right threw Floyd? they are right for that because they are questioning his choice as of recent years. he wasn't getting that treatment bfore he began talking all this money ****.. of course they gonna press you like that because you showing no respect to the sport, you fighting for money and abandoned the pride of a fighter, you an entertainer now because you only move up for a fight depending on the price.

                    see I would've respected it more if Floyd just said I'm retiring because I can't take the training camps anymore, the fights and the pain, maybe his body CAN'T take it no more BUT when you say the reason you wont fight Cotto is due to his revenue then you are a joke because REGARDLESS of revenue Cotto is the ONLY other fight out there for Floyd especially if Cotto beats Tony, now because of money issues you wont grant Boxing the biggest Welterweight megafight since De La Hoya-Trinidad?

                    his moves are shaky because you mention Cotto and he talks about money and retirement but then signed to face Oscar again for absolutely no gain in terms of Boxing, Oscar is clearly not the same anymore and is not a legit Welterweight challenger for a Welterweight crown yet you'll sign to face him again but you wont sign to face the real threat to you, the other undefeated champion in your division and to me thats just wrong..

                    he's only who he is due to the people who pay to watch him fight and at this point he has failed for damn near 3 years to give the people what they REALLY want.. I can understand not fighting Cotto because of physical difficulties but don't say it's because of money because Cotto has a whole race of people behind him everytime he fights, he has VERY high popularity and is the biggest threat to Floyd, a flaw in Floyd's career 50 years from now if Floyd doesn't fight him. HBO has every reason to jump on Floyd homie, he doesn't do likeable things and even though I got love for Floyd he can't bypass truth and the truth here is Floyd got unfinished business and he's acting like there's nothing left to see here and there is..
