    We really need to get boxing back on terestrial TV, other sports can afford to be off regular television because they have central authorities promoting it, selling it, lobbying for it etc, but boxing can't afford to go away from the masses otherwise the fanbase stagnates, I've seen people who would've been boxing fans long ago but because it wasn't available they've missed out on fighters careers. can you imagine if mayweather vs Marquez was on primetime on ABC? They wouldn't have problems getting sponsors or attention for their next fight, that's for sure.

    btw no one goes off the radar after they retire quicker then fighters, emphasizes the point.

    Yeah

    I could not believe it

    It was tv gold, mayweather and mosely facing off badmouthing eachother abotu a potential fight

    we could see their lips moving and their facial expressions changing

    what could we hear?

    **** all.

    Some ****ing twat pulling the microphone away from one of the most talked about boxing incidents of the year...so he could hold it by his non moving stupid smug mouth and say nothing

    absolutely pathetic

    Ring interviews are pretty **** ...let the fighter chill out a bit and interview him in his dressing room. BTW, Kellerman is a **** :deal

    Wow, 9 pages:shock:. Kellerman is a bit of a tit but I think some of the hate for the post-fight interview is a bit OTT. If you watch it back you'll realise it was all fine until B-Hop starting pushing and shouting. Kellerman was just trying to calm things down, IMO. The call for 'JIM' to save him was funny as hell, though:rofl. I enjoy watching the guy as he's hilarious- leave him be.

    It was all fine, there was a bit of pushing and shouting...great, lets ****ing hear it ffs

    You like him and find him hilarious, great, I dont...but thats not the point anyway

    if he just wants to talk then let him talk....dont let him do it in post match interviews particularly when 2 of the big names are there face to face

    however its about the boxers, not him, and he just took the mic away from something everybody wants to hear, terrible terrible reporting.

    Granted, he did. That said, you never know if the producers were in his ear telling him to go back to ringside for fear of getting another Malignaggi moment. The interview went south after B-Hop's antics, not Kellerman's, IMHO. Like I said, it was funny viewing but I accept that I am in a minority. The whimper for Jim was great TV, though- you can't argue with that:lol:.

    Merchants problem was that he was so slow asking questions, a blokes just been in 12 hard rounds getting punched int he head and has to deal with

    'errr....soo....you....had to .....deal....with his spee....'

    etc.

    they need somebody who lets the boxers talk

    I wanted to hear what Mayweather had to say. Kellerman didn't allow this because of his ego.

    **** him. It's a shame he wasn't interviewing Tyson, he wouldn't have taken that ****.

    Anyone have a link to the post fight interview? The one posted earlier has been removed and the version of the fight I downloaded didn't have the interview, only the fight itself.

    edit; Just seen it on youtube. Kellerman, what a twat.
