Max Kellerman career

While the show was incredibly popular, Kellerman and ESPN could not reach an agreement for him to remain with the network, and Kellerman left the network in early 2004 to host a new show called I, Max on Fox Sports Net.

Max Kellerman has since been in the Sports Broadcasting business and With HBO leaving the boxing business at the end of 2018, Kellerman signed a multi-year contract with ESPN which greatly expanded his role in the network’s boxing coverage.
