MAX KELLERMAN, Boxing Analyst:
Basically, my first year at ESPN, I partied with my friends. “Look at me, I’m on ESPN.” I was on only once a week as their in-studio analyst for the new Friday Night Fights series, so I had a lot of time to hang out and just have a ball.
There had never been anything like the Friday Night Fights studio show; it brought SportsCenter production quality to boxing highlights and analysis. At the time I remember telling a columnist that it felt like that Cheers episode when Norm got the job as a beer taster.
I remember running into Mike Tyson for the first time at a fight in Vegas. He approached me and said, “You shouldn’t talk about my personal life on the air.” I said, “Mike, it’s nothing personal; my job is to comment on the news. When you make news outside the ring and I’m asked about it point-blank, I have to comment. I always try to be fair.” He said that he’d watched me when I was a kid on Public Access in New York when he was living on Second Avenue, and that he had no real beef with me, but that he just wanted his personal life left alone.
And then after about a year and a half of just doing Friday Night Fights, I thought, “Okay, I’m twenty-six years old, it’s probably time to get serious.” To be totally honest, I didn’t find much of the boxing on ESPN to be particularly compelling. I was more interested in what was going on with the Yankees, the Giants, and the Knicks. So I left the Tuesday Night series the following year.
