    I'm a Kellerman fan before a boxing fan, to me Kellerman is boxing.

    DAZN should really be doing everything they can to sign him. If he has signed for ESPN+ instead it's a huge coupe. Could see Crawford - Khan doing 1 million PPV buys with Kellerman announcing.

    He had a really good interview with Big Kugan on IFL that was just uploaded.

    Yep it was at the Khan - Crawford presser, I didn't see the presser itself so not sure if they addressed whether he is working the fight.

    Kellerman already works for espn has for years. With hbo gone it seems logical he would be their boxing guy.

    I really like him. Very good commentator, and for the most part he doesn't love/hate certain fighters over the top. Yes, he has 'favourites' but he doesn't take it OTT in the same ways that Sky Boxing commentators do during fights.

    I was a fan of him when younger but grew off him in recent years... the ending point was the andre ward sucking up he did in the 2 fights.. plus the interview he did with him on first take oh god that was sickening...

    I despise Kellerman and don't want him anywhere near anything I watch. He's a noxious, self-righteous windbag, not dissimilar in tone to Jim Gray, another person who inspires the mute button.

    That said, this is obviously a troll topic. Nobody is buying a PPV specifically because Kellerman is there.

    ESPN's ratings will go down with Kellerman being on there. The more they have him on, the lower the ratings. He's awful.

    The worst commentator in sports, he turns a lot of people off.
