Max Kellerman Controversies & Litigation

The downside of being a man with resounding opinions is…

… not everyone agrees with you. 

Max Kellerman vs. Donald Trump Supporters 2020

This famous boxing commentator was on thin ice as he voiced his opinion about the ongoing protests in the NBA as well as taking in the NFL’s canceled practices. 

In one particular segment of ESPN’s First Take, Kellerman specifically described Trump Supporters in the SEC to be: 

“susceptible to very low-quality information 

and easy to propagandize 

and almost immune to facts.” 

Yes, you read that right!

Attacking a fan base that’s like a religion for these people – Kellerman, you’re a classic! 

To support his controversial declaration, Kellerman cited the club’s most recent brazen move about the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Whatever Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s adviser, dishes out to the public, the supporters believe it to be true regardless of whether or not the outlook is backed up by factual information. 

“ — It wouldn’t matter what happened because they’d say the handling of the pandemic has been great. 

The handling of the pandemic has been the worst in the industrialized democratic world, by far.

By far, in the United States, at a federal level, it’s been a disaster.”  says Max with utmost conviction. 

The commentator received terrible backlash from the American people sooner than he thought. 

One particular critic stood out saying he was mistaken and inaccurate for lumping the supporters all in one box. 

Simply put, not ALL of them are as stupid as Max said.

Max Kellerman on Black Lives Matter 2020

Max begins with a simple direct manifesto: “Here’s my problem with it…” 

The boxing analyst proceeds to say he loves Black Lives Matter as a slogan. 

On the other hand…

… not much so as a political platform. 

“[T]he immediate release and retroactive decriminalization of prostitution and drug offenders and their records should be expunged? Maybe everyone’s not going to agree with that, Divestment from Israel?” 

Max Kellerman Suspended for Domestic Abuse 2014 

This HBO World Championship Boxing analyst and ESPN TV host was suspended back in 2014 after admitting he once hit his wife Erin Manning Kellerman on ESPN – LA radio show “Mason & Ireland.” 

Kellerman explained to the public how the incident happened years ago before they were married. 

The couple was attending a big college party and had too much to drink. 

An argument between the two broke out and in an effort to bring things under control, Erin slapped him and he slapped her back. 

Okay, You might think a 3-day suspension over something this small is too much…

… but being a famous personality means you need to triple check what you say on live TV.

The Murder of his Brother 2004

On October 17, 2004, Max’s younger brother Sam was found dead in his apartment.

After a series of investigations, former boxing athlete James Butler was convicted and charged for Sam’s murder in 1400 block of Vista Street, Los Angeles. 

After confessing to his crime, James was sentenced to 29-years in jail. 

Max loved his brother.

He never recovered from his untimely death…

Born just 15 months later than Max on November 24, 1974, Sam was the 2nd of the four brothers who grew up in Manhattan. 

Sam was also an aspiring young artist. He wrote a play entitled “The Man who hated Shakespeare” as well as hosting a local cable-television show. 

Why did such a great young man have to die? 

It was speculated by prosecutors that James Butler was having issues with his girlfriend and also struggling to recuperate his boxing career. 

In the midst of his sad predicament, Sam demanded Butler clear out of his apartment.

Butler picked up a hammer, killed Sam, and burned down the house. 

Sam may have been just at the wrong place at the wrong time…
