That Max Kellerman

[SweetPea]

That was the worst interview i have ever seen. For fuck sake let the guy speak, whats the point of asking a question and then pulling the mic away half way through his response. He did it about 6 times and im suprised PBF didnt punch him, was irretating the fuck out of me sat at home imagine how floyld felt!! let the guy have his moment.

It seemed pretty obvious that the reason he was pulling the mic away is because Floyd was refusing to give him straight answers.

Max did his job. Any problems with the interview are Floyd's doing.

That's what you get when you pisee on a reporters interview.

Max: " Ohh so you don't want to answer ok here is Shae to pissed you off...." LOL

Kellerman was also a bit flustered too, he was just trying to get through an uncomfortable situation. Kellerman did nothing wrong really.

Kellerman was out of his depth there, he did cut off Maywether a couple of times, but they were hardly fully formed questions. And then of course, Mayweather stole the mic and it was a plea for help with the word "Jim..." said over and over again. Heat of the moment stuff and understandable given what had just gone on. It can't be nice having Hopkins shouting over your shoulder whilst you are trying to conduct an interview.

I can't believe I am defending Kellerman!

So kellerman is dick lint.......what else is new .

That was a contrived interview to hype things for HBO. If not, Kellerman should be fired for not knowing how to do an interview (and he fails miserly at it). I did not pay my PPV fee to see that a--wipe act like a right c--t. He looks like a real prat in there almost afraid of getting beat up by the boxers and seconds, etc. Are you feeling me on this?

[J_Undisputed]

Kellerman has always acted like a tool. His brain can't keep pace with his mouth, which is already talkin garbage before he can even get the mic up to his face. It was funny to see brian kenny give floyd a hard time, only for them to laugh about it at the beginning of the next interview and do it all over again. There at least seemed to be a level of respect there.

Kellerman was trying to make a name for himself with his actions. Instead i think hes just aced himself out of the opportunity. If he thought jocking floyd for being a pure boxer and all the other stuff earned him any stroke with floyd, he's delusional.. even it did, he pissed it out the window with his "you say what i want you to or i'm taking my mic back" routine. As much as I don't like Larry merchant, he at least got answers or rephrased the question to seem less confrontational in hopes of getting at least a partial answer.

Kellerman's a dumbass. he said Calzaghe would beat prime Michael spinks.

THANKS, MAX.

Max wanted to do an interview, that's his job. The boxer told him to stop talking. Max didn't go in the ring and told the fighters to stop fighting.

Fraud didn't want to do the interview, he wanted to promote his endorsements. Wrong place and wrong time, no one wants to hear about Nike, Gatorade, or any crap he's trying to promote.

So Max did the right thing. Take control of the interview or don't have one.

WAY TO GO, MAX. GOOD JOB!!

[HattonTheHammer]

i often wonder what would of happened to kellerman had he of jumped in to give one of his "frank interviews" to a pent up mike tyson

No doubts the resulting incident would currently have upwards of 50million youtube hits

Actually, that's EXACTLY the time fighters thank promoters, trainers and endoresers etc.


Who are you again?

Exactly, just when you start feeling respect for Floyd, he quickly reminds you of how much of an unintelligent asshole he is.

[Pacdbest2]

Max pull out the mike coz PBF's not answering the question. But he should've push it a little bit more to get the answer he wants. I wish Jim Gray was there instead of Max. Jim Gray will follow you up to the Locker room just to get the right answer. Can't forget how courageous Jim Gray was when he interviewed Tyson after tyson Chew holyfield's ear!!! That was a hard Ball reporting.

I have to disagree here. Floyd did not make it easy on him, but Max did not do a very good job, and it's obviously because he is either untrained or uninterested in being a journalist. Sarcastically talking over Floyd because he isn't giving you straight answers is not the way to handle a post-fight interview, or any interview, really.

There's a difference between an interview and an interrogation. The interviewer's job is to facilitate the fighter's interaction with the audience. It's nice if he answers your questions directly but if not, you deal with it and try to guide the interview back on track.

Max handles his interviews like he's a cop trying to get a confession out of a guy. Larry Merchant never has to wrestle over the microphone because he gives respect and in turn commands it.
