Why is Max Kellerman such a dickhead???

[Boxingmad]

He really is an idiot. Trying to get himself heard instead of letting Mayweather answer his questions, and failing to control Mosley & Hopkins when they started to interject. He looked distinctly worried when things started to get heated.

Don't HBO have anyone else?

[alexpaterson]

I agree he should of let Mayweather talk he should've asked Mayweather about the fight or future oppoannts instead of the weight as he wasnt likely to answer that question

[U.F.O]

As i said last night he has a bigger ego than Floyd

Pathetic

[U.F.O]

The art of geting a good interview is to get the person to open up to you
not to piss them off straight away, he was on Floyd's case from the 1st line

[Spud]

I am glad I am not the only one to think about the shambolic b*llocks that HBO allowed to continue in their interviews.

PBF as arrogant as he is had just won a massive fight and thus the respect had to be there - whether people like him or not it should be him doing the talking not that knobber and in addition for him to allow Mosely and Hopkins to hijack the interview was inexcusable and pathetic of HBO to allow a blatant sales pitch for another fight.

C'mon lads it was damn obviously scripted.

[sweetscience]

C'mon lads it was damn obviously scripted.

without a doubt

[Pat Butcher]

The guy is an absolute tosser. People wanted to hear what Floyd had to say.

I bet he isn't on the scene at the next Mayweather fight

[vagabundo55]

C'mon lads it was damn obviously scripted.

I agree. That doesn't stop Kellerman from being a dickhead though.

[Poncey]

C'mon lads it was damn obviously scripted.

without a doubt

It was blatantly a set up for Mosley Mayweather.

[15829]

it was like the calzaghe and hopkins square up at the mayweather hatton weigh in but it was good fun though

[DavidPayne]

Kellerman was a disgrace.

[steve689]

Did someone mention Buncey?! What was he doing in all of this.

HBO have been dire going back to the Lennox Lewis years in the nineties. Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant have always been 'me, me, me' and Max Kellerman was like that on ESPN Friday night days, and became further out of control now he is on HBO. Manny Steward is decent when he is a colour commentator, but Lennox can be bland but at least he isn't up his own backside.

The Moseley and Hopkins antics were obviously a GBP idea as they are desperate to get Mosley another megafight. If Pacman or Cotto face Mayweather next it means another 12 months waiting when he will be 39-years-old. It reminded me of Johnny Nelson's nasty goading of Carl Thompson and Witter gatecrashing Hatton's interview, I think after the Thaxton fight although I stand corrected

Floyd wasn't answering the questions anyway, he was avoiding them and thanking his sponsors.

Of cause it was, but that does not mean we can not have a proper Floyd interview first

Pathetic interview

[Spud]

Gents,

Obviously scripted - but I feel that was the case with regards Golden Boy and Mosely - I just feel PBF was genuinally annoyed and felt disrespected and dont forget - if Mayweather/Pacman happens or PBF/Cotto the high likelihood is that Bob Arum will promote and that will not necessarily involved either Golden Boy or HBO and thus it was my opinion PBF was shall we say hijacked by both HBO and Golden Boy to attempt to make the Mosely fight instead of the bigger money making fights like Cotto or Pacman.

Yes scripted - but not on PBFs part.

[big lennox]

I felt sorry for Floyd.He has just come out of a 21 monmth retirement and trounced a three weight world champion in the form of his career and then the interviewer is very rude to him, and his interview gets hijacked, for shame.

As it happens, I think Mayweatehr handels Mosley easy.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Kellerman is a wally - that was a complete shambles!

Agreed, whatever scripting there might have been, Floyd was not part of the scriptwriting team.

[DavidPayne]

Kellerman was a tool though. We could all see their was vested interest in getting Mosley up there. Hopkins is not a guy you want pushing you in the back but Kellerman invited it and then didn't allow Floyd to respond, asked protracted questions and then when getting Floyd's attention with talk of Pacman, withdrew the mic and changed topics again. Then asked for Jim to save him as those exasperated by Floyd's elusiveness when in truth he made it impossible for him to answer.

He prejudged it and fkked it up.

Buncey is on the nail. He's a tool.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I think Kellerman has one giant ego there and isn't up to the role.His interview was contrived, rude and unproffessional.

Before I write my post, I'd like to thank Goldenboy, Nike, all my bros and hos at my Gym in LA. Oh, and of course Fujitsu-Siemen's for the computer I received yesterday. Using it as we speak.

[Counter-puncher]

i would like to thank God.
