Should Max Kellerman disclose that he works for a rival network when talking boxing?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Max is an HBO puppet.

idiots.

Is Floyd a free agent now? Obviously his loyalty is to Sho but does he have any contractual obligations to any network?

Max should disclose to the viewers that his opinions will hurt floyd's fan's feelings and that they should either get some tissues or change the channel

Was watching the first take episode where Kellerman rips Floyd Mayweather. He's paid to give his opinion be it right or wrong so I have no problem with that. But shouldn't ESPN make him disclose that he works for HBO which is a rival of the network Floyd fought for? The bottom header said he's a long-time HBO boxing analyst. Most casual fans who watch that show have no idea of the politics of boxing and that Kellerman works for Mayweather's rival broadcaster.

Imagine Joe Rogan getting that job. ESPN puts on the header that he's a long-time UFC analyst. He starts talking MMA and names some Bellator fighters. I would have no idea who is a Bellator fighter and who is a UFC fighter unless he specified it.

When news channels have political pundits on they make the clear distinction which candidate or party that pundit favors so there is no confusion when he/she starts to talk about their rivals.

No we all saw pac lose on may 2nd. Kellerman opinion will not sway ****....

I don't think it should be necessary for him to state the obvious. Of course he is going to be bias. Everybody who knows who Kellerman is already knows he works for HBO so why should he have to tell people what they already know? Of course he is going to praise HBO fighters but that is to be expected. Should Oscar De La Hoya remind us that he is the owner of Golden Boy every time he talks boxing and that he isn't neutral? No, because we already know this.

Kellerman is on a show that most viewers don't watch boxing. Skip and Smith rarely talked boxing. If Skip was still on the show they wouldn't have talked Crawford vs. Postol. That show gets better ratings than boxing. Most of those people who watch the show don't know anything about boxing. As far as De La Hoya, yes. If they brought De La Hoya on for an interview I'm positive they would state he's the promoter of Golden Boy. When Bernard Hopkins does commentary for HBO they make sure it's known that he's an employee of Golden Boy when the show starts and they'll say which fighter is his. So what I'm stating isn't anything out of the ordinary. It's standard practice in the media. Conflicts of interest should always be disclosed.

This is all much ado about nothing!

Everybody that knows anything about the sport know Max Kellerman is employed by HBO and ESPN. Max does not work for Showtime, Golden Boy, Top Rank or PBC.

Froid is just a little ***** drama queen who acts like a spoiled kid when he does not get his way.

Shouldn't you disclose you ******ation each and every time you click the new thread button?

[TheCell8]

Max is unbiased, so no he shouldn't.

Who the hell cares? It's just one man's opinion man.
