Hbo Sports® Extends Agreements with Veteran Announcers Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman in New Multi- Year Deals HBO SPORTS® EXTENDS AGREEMENTS WITH VETERAN ANNOUNCERS JIM LAMPLEY AND MAX KELLERMAN IN NEW MULTI- YEAR DEALS NEW YORK, March 4, 2015 – HBO Sports has entered into new multi-year agreements with Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman, who are the primary voices for its HBO Boxing franchises. Both announcers will continue to serve on multiple HBO Boxing platforms, including “World Championship Boxing®,” “HBO Boxing After Dark®” and HBO Pay-Per-View®. The agreements were announced today by Rick Bernstein, senior vice president and executive producer, HBO Sports. “For more than two decades, Jim has been the signature voice of HBO Boxing,” said Bernstein. “Jim’s incomparable knowledge of the sport of boxing and his work on our many boxing programming initiatives, along with his own boxing studio program (‘The Fight Game with Jim Lampley’), have made him universally recognized as the best in the sport and the captain of our boxing coverage. We’re thrilled Jim will continue to bring his high journalistic standards and talents to the HBO audience for many years to come.” A four-time Sports Emmy® Award winner, Lampley will be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, NY on June 14. Starting with his first HBO presentation, the “World Championship Boxing” fight between Mike Tyson and Tony Tubbs from Tokyo on March 20, 1988, Lampley has been at the helm for some of the most dramatic moments in HBO Boxing history. “I am delighted and grateful for the chance to continue my richly rewarding relationship with the number-one network in television,” said Lampley. “In sports as in entertainment, HBO presents the greatest of all opportunities to report complex truth, and there are no sports truths more profound and complex than those illuminated by boxing.” Max Kellerman joined HBO Sports in 2005 as a co-host on pay- per-view telecasts and quickly developed a smooth and unique repertoire and interview style. Kellerman began working as a ringside commentator and interviewer on HBO’s “Boxing After Dark” series in 2006 and eventually assumed a leading role for “World Championship Boxing,” “HBO Boxing After Dark” and HBO Pay-Per-View events. In addition, Kellerman became the host of the acclaimed “Face-Off” feature series in 2010. “Max has been an invaluable asset to the HBO Boxing franchise since joining us ten years ago,” said Bernstein. “His passion, instincts and historical knowledge all play a key role in making our broadcasts impactful.” “The privilege of calling the best fights in the sport is second only to working alongside all of the extraordinary people in the HBO family,” said Kellerman. Lampley and Kellerman return to HBO on Saturday, March 14 when they call the “World Championship Boxing” tripleheader from Montreal’s Bell Centre, headlined by the 2015 debut of undefeated light heavyweight champ Sergey Kovalev as he meets the formidable Jean Pascal (9:45 p.m. ET/PT). Lampley and Kellerman are represented by Nick Khan of CAA and Michael Price of Price Management..

  • Hollywood Agencies Gather up Broadcast Talent - Sportsbusiness Da
    Hollywood agencies gather up broadcast talent - SportsBusiness Da... http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2017/04/17/Lab... SBJ/April 17-23, 2017/Labor and Agents Hollywood agencies gather up broadcast talent By Liz Mullen, Staff Writer Published April 17, 2017, Page 10 Editor’s note: This story is revised from the print edition. The business of representing sports broadcasters, once made up of boutique firms in New York and scattered player agents representing a few clients in second-career broadcast work, has over the last five years become more specialized and more centralized. And that center is becoming Los Angeles, home to the Hollywood talent agencies and an increasing number of sports broadcasting clients. As changes in technology have put a premium on programming that can draw large audiences in real time, rights fees to broadcast live content such as sports events have increased, as have opportunities and salaries for broadcasters. For Hollywood agencies, with a history of representing on-camera talent and, for several, more recent moves into sports in such areas as player representation, broadcaster representation was suddenly a natural fit. “As the value of live sports rights skyrocketed, so did the importance of the broadcasting talent who work in this space,” said CAA agent Tom Young, who recently orchestrated former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo’s CBS deal. “These personalities have amassed large audience followings, add credibility and context, and one can argue they are as integral to the broadcast as the actual game itself.” The Hollywood agencies have mounted a full-court press in the area by acquiring practices, hiring key broadcasting agents and signing top talent.

  • LAW360 Problems in the 'Fight of the Century'
    As published in LAW360 Problems In The 'Fight Of The Century' Class Actions Law360, New York (May 19, 2015, 10:10 AM ET) Ever since this complaint was shouted into the ringside mic after a title fight, complainers from the hard court to Broadway have recycled it. Who hasn’t paid to watch an event and been disappointed? But is this really the stuff of lawsuits? Can aggrieved pay-per-view customers sue Manny Pacquiao and his corporate constellation for his performance in the overhyped “Fight of the Century” against Floyd “Money” Mayweather? Precedent firmly says “no.” Most of these losing lawsuits have been filed by ticket holders. When the New Jersey Nets traded Julius “Dr. J” Erving to the Philadelphia 76ers immediately before the 1977 season tip-off, season ticket holders sued. The court knocked them out, ruling that a ticket guarantees a seat and nothing more — there’s no guarantee to either a James G. Sammataro satisfactory performance or the right to see specific individuals perform. This Dr. J doctrine has been applied to knockout out a string of sour ticket holders who cried that: that Roger Goodell’s capricious Bounty Gate suspensions devalued New Orleans Saints’ season tickets; that Spy Gate cheapened the value of Jets-Patriots games; that San Antonio Spurs’ failure to play its aged superstars harmed Miami Heat ticket holders; and that generational incompetence by the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Cubs entitled fans to class action damages. The amusing Cubs ruling stated clearly that the team’s status as “the doormat of the National

Running head: TAKING A STAND BY KNEELING Taking a stand by kneeling: An analysis of national anthem protest coverage University of Nebraska-Lincoln Vincent Peña Committee: Richard Alloway (chair), John Bender & Jerry Renaud TAKING A STAND BY KNEELING 2 Abstract Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers decided to protest the national anthem before a 2016 NFL preseason game because of systemic racial inequality and instances of police brutality, sparking a nationwide debate about the First Amendment, the national anthem in sports, and race, among other topics. His protest influenced many similar protests, including one by three members of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team. This paper looks at the media coverage of the protests and the aftermath, examining both national and local print and broadcast news sources, to determine the degree to which the coverage adheres to the protest paradigm, which is a framework journalists use when covering protests that portrays the groups in a negative light.

  • The Role of Congress in Professional Boxing Reform
    Janitor or Savior: The Role of Congress in Professional Boxing Reform MICHAEL J. JUREK* For good reason, boxing fans and insiders share the belief that their sport is dying. Not convinced? Try naming one of the four current heavyweight champions. There arefour heavyweight champions, you ask? While only one team wins the Super Bowl each year and only one golfer is fitted for a Green Jacket after winning The Masters, boxing is in a league of its own by recognizingfour "world champions" in each of its weight divisions. With a modern history touting names such as Muhammad Ali, Rocky Marciano,Joe Frazier,Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Leonard, and George Foreman, one can ponder how a sport that at one time was second in popularity only to baseball has fallen from such greatness. Years of corruption, manipulation, and scandal have tarnished the sport to the point that it is hardly covered by the mainstream media. In fact, up-and-coming sports like mixed martial arts-The Ultimate FightingChampionship, for example-have surpassedit in popularity. Some believe that Congress can be boxing's savior. Over the last decade, Congress has passed the ProfessionalBoxing Safety Act of 1996-aimed at protecting boxers in the ring-and the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act of 2000-aimed at further improving safety, as well as giving boxers leverage at the bargainingtable. In May 2005, the Senate passed the ProfessionalBoxing Amendments Act of 2005, which would create the United States Boxing Commission to give punch to the sparsely enforced provisions of the law currently on the books.
