HBO host Max Kellerman made a disrespectful, opinionated, and biased post-fight interview with Manny Pacquiao yesterday at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino prompting the boxing fans to question his behavior on social media.

The 41-year-old HBO reporter Max Kellerman was utterly surprised when Manny mentioned that he won the fight against Mayweather. He then challenged the Filipino to explain why the judges should have chosen him as the winner of the fight.

The interview started to go ugly when Kellerman asked Manny, "You thought you won the fight? Why?"[with a sarcastic tone]

Kellerman was not happy with the answers of Manny Pacquiao, so he turned to social media and said, "the fight was competitive during some stretches, but ultimately not close. I had it 9-3."

In response to the unprofessional behavior of the HBO sports reporter, various boxing fans around the globe expressed their dissatisfaction on social media.

Colin Cosell posted on twitter, "Max Kellerman is an embarrassment to broadcasting and should be banned from interviews."

Bon Sibulan commented, "a clear biased interview you did there @Max_Kellerman you deserve a hug from @FloydMayweather."

Chet Cannon said, "@Max_Kellerman Wow, that was an obnoxious interview you gave. #MayPac"

Kellerman immediately reacted to the posts of the boxing fans. He said, "@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"

However two netizens vividly positioned their arguments against the post of Kellerman.

@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

@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
