    A fight being $50 doesn't make it good either lol.

    Oscar vs Floyd, though was a decent fight, was no where near worth the $59-60...even if you're riding hard for either Oscar or Floyd.

    Plus, it's good to have somewhat of a dynamic with commentators. How dumb is it if all the commentators are "Yes" men? All sports has their commentators who maybe don't or do favor certain athletes according to what they like. There's a level of unbiased comments that are needed during fights, but I dont mind seeing some of these guys' own opinion and not what you're "expecting" to hear.

    Plus, if you have your own opinion set, just roll with that. Relying on what Merchant says about Floyd won't make the public hate Floyd any more or less than people do with or without Merchant's comments.

        max is the man out here in nyc he had a radio show and had large following plus the guy breaks it down

        he even took a shot at khan and roach yesterday

        when he said when up coming fighter has a suspect chin you match him up agaisnt a fighter like paulie due to the lack of power

        he even said roach is the best matchmaker when it comes to getting fighters that his fighters could beat

          I love Max Kellerman. I used to catch his ESPN Radio show every day before he quit. I live for the fights when he's in there over Merchant. I just feel like he's very similar to me, so I tend to agree with what he says. I thought he was great last night, too. When Harold Lederman retires, I think he should take over as unofficial scorer. He's very eloquent and makes good points.

                merchants wants to see competitive fights.

                kellerman likes watching stylists.

                different strokes for different folks

                  I was heartbroken when he quit. It was like listening to myself on the radio.

                    Yes, and he's not doing any good for the popularity of the sport.

                    Last night he went on and on about Khan being so much bigger than Malignaggi, in order to discredit Amir's excellent performance.

                    The fact is, Malignaggi is just 1" shorter and has just a 1" less reach, that's not really significant. Khan was dominating because of his greater speed and boxing skills, but Max wouldn't call it correctly because he didn't want to give him credit.

                    Max Kellerman is incapable of putting his own biases and agendas aside and making fair, objective and insightful comments.
