How much of Max's income is from his HBO gig? If they're spending crazy money on that goggle-eyed idiot that could be invested in fights that's ridiculous. He is a terrible ringside analyst, truly awful. Can't believe HBO have replaced Larry Merchant with this clown.
Mayweather made 80 million last year, who the **** cares. My uncle is worth 35 million and owns 3 shopping centres and a massive farm and has 10 houses, the guy is still a ****.
how much value do the commentators add to the fight! would you watch boxing as much if it were not for the commentators?
Michael Buffer probably gets more $$$ than some of the boxers he is introducing combined purses. *Aside from the obvious big name fighters.
They can add value, but they can also take it away. Remember when Kellerman said he needed to watch a replay of the Pacquiao-Bradley fight to make sure he wasn't unduly influenced by the commentary?
Interesting article detailing the switch from Merchant to Kellerman on HBO WCB. http://www.secondsout.com/columns/thomas-hauser/larry-merchant-and-hbo So almost seven years ago, he was making over half a million already.
Jim Lampley was making 1.1 million as far back as 1988. Accounting for inflation, that is 2.1 million. So you can imagine where he's up to now, with 24 years of tenure at HBO.
Max Kellerman is an unqualified bug-eyed punk. HBO would do well to get rid of him like ESPN and Fox did, ESPN after he asked for too much money and Fox when his show tanked. I just remembered that he was on espn sports nation recently and couldn't even spell a simple word, the jock that was on the panel with him rode him to no end, lol.
