Broadcasting history

His first broadcasting experience was on a New York City public access television program on professional boxing. In the late 1990s Kellerman became an analyst on ESPN's boxing series Friday Night Fights and from November 2002 hosted ESPN's Around the Horn. However, Kellerman and ESPN could not reach an agreement for him to remain with the network, and Kellerman was promptly hired by Fox Sports Net. He went on to host a new show with FSN called I, Max that first aired on May 10, 2004. He would discuss sports news with Michael Holley, former Around the Horn panelist and author of Patriot Reign: Bill Belichick, the Coaches, and the Players Who Built a Champion, and Bill Wolff. Max took time off from the show after his brother's death (see below). He later returned, but despite his show garnering the network's highest ratings for a period of time, it was cancelled due to conflicts with network executives. The last I, Max show aired on February 18, 2005. Max also was the co-host of Spike TV's 2006 series, King of Vegas.
