DULJOMAN INTERVIEWS LARRY MERCHANT By Anthony 'Duljoman' Andales PhilBoxing.com Tue, 12 Dec 2006 NORTH LITTLE ROCK -- As I sat at the front row of the press row, Larry Merchant happened to pass by, so I approached him and introduced myself. He was glad to know that I'm from Manny Pacquiao Republic. Duljoman: Larry are you aware that you're very popular in the Philippines? Especially at PACLAND? Larry Merchant: No (after 5sec., as I'm about to ask another question). Larry M: How popular I am in the Philippines? As popular as Manny? There'll be people coming if I'll do concert? Duljoman & Larry M: (laughing... like hehehehe...) Duljoman: Who do you want Pacquiao to fight next? Larry M: Barrera. Duljoman: How about the talk about a Macau fight with Edwin Valero? Larry M: I'm only talking about possible fight here in the U.S. And don't know if there's a legitimate talk about that fight. Duljoman: Morales moving to 135 lbs? Larry M: I'm not interested. What did he do to earn such a fight? He'll fight Joel cause he lost 2 consecutive fights both by knockouts? I'm not interested at all. Duljoman: Who is your top 3 pound for pound? Larry M: Your're from the Philippines right? So you know who is number 1. #2 is Mayweather and #3 is Winky Wright. Fighters who can bring people to the arena is my number 1. And your Manny is a crowd pleaser with amazing boxing skills. A super featherweight that hits like a middleweight. Anything lands from Pacquiao is a disaster to his opponent. Duljoman: Are you mad at Mayweather when he told you that you don't know about boxing? Larry Merchant: Floyd's mouth is as fast as his punches, but it didn't sting me a bit. Duljoman: More power Larry, and thanks for your time. Larry M: Thank you, no problem. I hope to see you in the Philippines in my concert. Duljoman would like to thank, DVC, Toyota Seibi Group, Dassault FalconJet and Zbros. Kumbatea!!!  Larry Merchant (left) poses with the author.
