Max has never worked a beat for any sport. I don't see people from other sports complaining about Max covering them. I've seen a couple of them questiona his qualification. Smith can get more people interested in boxing than Max can. I don't understand why boxing fans want to keep the sport a secret and don't want more people exposed to the sport.
    I'm all for bringing more light to boxing and getting more fans. But when this guy talks boxing I just cringe, cause he doesn't really know much. Nobody wants to keep the sport secret, we just want people who are going to talk about the sport we love to at the very least know what the heck they are talking about. That's not asking a lot at all. I wouldn't call him anything more than a casual. He'll at least look up who he is going to be talking about, which is more then I can say when Skip used to talk boxing opposite him

        Do you cringe when Max talks about other sports?

            My point is it's only boxing people who think media should have to pass a purity test to cover the sport. Here's a secret. A lot journalist covering sports don't know **** about the sport their covering.

                  So that makes it ok for them to talk about it, cause a lot of them are that way? No thanks. I'll stick to listening to people that know what they are talking about. Not some loud mouthed guy screaming through the mic who knows very little about the sport he's watching. Boxing isn't the only sport where people don't like others talking about it. Every sports fans voice their opinions when broadcasters don't know what they are talking about

                    He gets a little **** but I don't think he's horrible. His questions don't seem as scripted as Kellerman's and if you try to dodge the question he will make sure to ask it again?

                      Funny thing is Mayweather wouldn't guarantee him $15 mil and he'd be lucky to get 10% PPV. Mayweather-Canelo was the 2nd biggest fight ever and Canelo got paid less than he's offering Golovkin.
