Sports fans are excited for Max Kellerman following an announcement revealing he’s finally set to step out from the shadows after close to two years of silence.
Kellerman was at one time one of the most popular figures at ESPN, having replaced Skip Bayless opposite Stephen A. Smith on ‘First Take.’ But his co-host ultimately had him kicked off the show, citing poor chemistry, and he has since left the network altogether.
Fortunately, he’s been getting paid very well while staying on his couch. The former rapper is still getting a check from The Worldwide Leader in Sports, and he was still under contract once he was let go.
Max is making $5 million to do absolutely nothing, though there is a caveat. His ESPN money will be cut off once he starts working elsewhere.
It appears he’s ready. After all, there is only so much money one can enjoy to stay away from the things they love.
Kellerman is scheduled to return to the broadcast table on September 13, when he’ll call the highly anticipated showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford in Las Vegas.
Fans were absolutely buzzing over the latest announcement regarding Max Kellerman. It’s fair to say the man has been missed.
“Love this for the sport,” one declared.
“Great pickup for the fight! Max Kellerman is an icon in the sport,” another raved.
“Now can we get Max and Marcellus back as a podcast or what? Max looks buff now, he might be able to wrestle Marcellus 🤣,” someone joked.
“Finally! Boxing is where Max is at his best,” a user claimed.
“I’ve been calling for this since the day he left. 🥹 We truly are MBGA!” one comment read.
It’s unfortunate that things went the way they went for Max at ESPN, but we do not doubt that he will be in high demand once he decides he’s ready to return to full-time work.
