Manny Pacquiao Fans Furious With HBO’s Max Kellerman After Rude Post-Fight Interview
Manny Pacquiao fans are not happy with HBO’s Max Kellerman after his post-fight interview with Pacquiao, and they are taking to social media to voice their outrage.
After the Pacuiao’s fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr., known as the “fight of the century,” Kellerman asked him how he thought he did, to which Manny insisted that he thought he had won.
“You thought you won the fight? Why?” Kellerman asked.
Manny responded by saying that Mayweather “didn’t do nothing,” according to The Guardian.
“But he had to be hitting you with something because you weren’t attacking him with the same kind of ferocity that we sometimes see you attack. Was he not doing something to keep you off?” Kellerman said. “He seemed to catch you with some good right hands early in the fight, did you feel his power?”
Fans seem to believe that Kellerman was patronizing Manny when he made his last comment.
“So you’re saying you thought you were up in the fight and that’s why you didn’t step up the pace in the 11th and 12th rounds.”
Check out some of the fans’ reactions below:

I’m glad it wasn’t just me that thought the @Max_Kellerman interview of @MannyPacquiao was disrespectful and patronizing and rude.

Kids when you grow up and become hosts or journalists, don’t be like @max_kellerman. No respect for a Boxing Legend like @MannyPacquiao.

@Max_Kellerman total disrespect from you. If you ever interview me like that I won’t be as understanding as Manny.

After that fight,I learned that Floyd isn’t the most arrogant man in boxing,Max Kellerman is. @Max_Kellerman you’re a joke of a broadcaster
