Max Kellerman, an HBO reporter who had the post-fight interview with Manny Pacquiao after his defeat via unanimous decision were on the 'hot seat' as boxing fans expressed their ire through the social media.
After the loss, Kellerman interviewed Pacquiao, who said he felt he won the fight. When asked why he felt that way, Manny said that Floyd "didn't do anything."
"He was always moving outside. It's not easy to throw punches if he's moving around. But if he stays, then I can throw punches," he explained to Kellerman, who is also one of the hosts of ESPN's radio show SportsNation.
The 41-year-old Max Kellerman insisted, however, that he felt that Floyd Mayweather Jr. was indeed the winner of the bout, which he repeated hours later on his official Twitter account.
"The fight was competitive during some stretches, but ultimately not close. I had it 9-3," Kellerman twitted.
He also took to the social media site to address the criticisms he received from netizens, who thought that his line of questioning was "disrespectful" and "opinionated."

.@MannyPacquiao fans: I love Manny. He's pleasure to deal with & to watch fight. Manny disagreed w/judges. Had to ask him about it. #MayPac— Max Kellerman (@Max_Kellerman) May 3, 2015Hey @max_kellerman a little respect for the other champion. It’s obvious who u work for. U r in the wrong business. Try selling used cars— martin nievera (@4eversinging4u) May 3, 2015I'd love to see Manny knock out Max Kellerman.— KC Montero (@KCMontero) May 3, 2015@Max_Kellerman we agree that Manny lost. We got that. But the manner and construction of the questions were off. Even your peers agree.— MJ Felipe (@mjfelipe) May 3, 2015@Max_Kellerman It's not how you interview people my friend @Max_Kellerman u downgraded @MannyPacquiao as if he didn't fight at all— Emmanuel Lopez (@noeldclopez) May 3, 2015The world hates @Max_Kellerman today as much as they hate Mayweather. #ThatDoucheInterviewer— Winston Almendras (@chairell) May 3, 2015Waiting for the netizens to get to @Max_Kellerman 😁— Lia Cruz (@liadcruz) May 3, 2015— Mitchell Johnson (@MitchJohnson398) May 3, 2015This just confirms why I don't watch boxing. And that #MaxKellerman dude should lose his job for that horribly opinionated interview.— Kelly Slater (@kellyslater) May 3, 2015Dear @HBO , you should remove your idiotic interviewer @MaxKellerman_ for being a complete idiot in the post-fight interview. @HBOboxing— Ronwald Munsayac (@RonMunsayac) May 3, 2015@Max_Kellerman Big mistake. Huge. You were not cool. Very biased. Now you'll suffer the wrath of angry Filipino fans. @MannyPacquiao— Daphne Osena Paez (@DaphneOP) May 3, 2015Max Kellerman is an embarrassment to broadcasting and should be banned from interviews. Wow. #MayPac #battlemyass— Colin Cosell (@Cosell) May 3, 2015Crowd now booing Max Kellerman more than Mayweather. #bigfight— The Sklar Brothers (@SklarBrothers) May 3, 2015Max kellerman is bit of a prick with manny.— michael (@bisping) May 3, 2015Great interview by my boy @Max_Kellerman for pressing Pacquaio on what we all saw— Marcellus Wiley (@marcelluswiley) May 3, 2015Max Kellerman, That was the worst post fight interview ever. Show some respect— Ollie Reeb (@OllieReeb) May 3, 2015.@Max_Kellerman Wow, that was an obnoxious interview you gave. #MayPac— Chet Cannon (@Chet_Cannon) May 3, 2015Most biased interview goes to @Max_Kellerman— Dana (@JforJade) May 3, 2015Sources: ABS-CBN, Twitter
