MAX KELLERMAN

This page was created to pay tribute to Max Kellerman for boxing fans worldwide!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Kellerman"His first broadcasting experience was on a New York City public access television program on professional boxing. In the late 1990s Kellerman became an analyst on ESPN's boxing series Friday Night Fights and from November 2002 hosted ESPN's Around The Horn. However, Kellerman and ESPN could not reach an agreement for him to remain with the network, and Kellerman was promptly hired by Fox Sports Net. He went on to host a new show with FSN called I, Max that first aired on May 10, 2004. He would discuss sports news one on one with Michael Holley, author of Patriot Reign: Bill Belichick, the Coaches, and the Players Who Built a Champion. Max took time off from the show after his brother's death (see below). He later returned, but due to low ratings his last show aired on February 18, 2005.Starting in the week of August 21, 2006, Kellerman did at least two nights of audition shows for WFNY-FM (92.3) Free FM in New York City hosting one night with Sid Rosenberg. On August 28, 2006 it was announced that Brandon Tierney would be taking over at 7pm (Kellerman's time slot), which temporarily left him without a day part on WEPN. On October 23, 2006, Max began hosting 10am to noon program on WEPN, replacing ESPN's nationally broadcast Colin Cowherd program.In 2005, Tucker Carlson announced that Kellerman would be a permanent contributor on his MSNBC show Tucker. On a segment of the show called "The Outsider", Kellerman generally represents the "devil's advocate" position on a series of issues selected by Carlson. Frequently, Carlson introduces Kellerman with a bio containing a humorously enthusiastic compliment.Kellerman has also been hired by HBO Sports to serve as a boxing analyst on Boxing After Dark, a post he formerly held at ESPN and Fox Sports. He also does commentary for the boxing video game Fight Night Round 3.Kellerman also appeared in the movie Rocky Balboa as a ringside commentator. In the movie he remarked how he watched Rocky's bouts as a kid; this would be entirely possible as Rocky's first major championship bout took place when Kellerman would have been three years old in real life. If the years in the movie parallel time in real life, Kellerman would have been six when Rocky won his first championship and nine when he won his second."
