Kellerman's first broadcasting experience was as a teenager on a New York City <a href="Public-access_television" title="Public-access television">public-access television</a> cable TV program on professional boxing called Max on Boxing. Given the medium, the show was quite simple but nevertheless caught the attention of the boxing community, including a young <a href="Mike_Tyson" title="Mike Tyson">Mike Tyson</a>.

In the late 1990s after graduating from <a href="Columbia_University" title="Columbia University">Columbia University</a> with a degree in history, Kellerman was hired as an analyst on <a href="ESPN" title="ESPN">ESPN</a>'s boxing series <a href="Friday_Night_Fights" class="mw-redirect" title="Friday Night Fights">Friday Night Fights</a> where he met future radio partner Brian Kenny. In November 2002 he was given his own show and, influenced by <a href="Pardon_the_Interruption" title="Pardon the Interruption">Pardon the Interruption</a>, became the architect and original host of ESPN's <a href="Around_the_Horn" title="Around the Horn">Around the Horn</a>. While the show was incredibly popular, Kellerman and ESPN could not reach an agreement for him to remain with the network, and Kellerman left the network in early 2004 to host a new show called <a href="I%2C_Max" title="I, Max">I, Max</a> on <a href="Fox_Sports_Net" class="mw-redirect" title="Fox Sports Net">Fox Sports Net</a>. He would discuss sports news with <a href="Michael_Holley" title="Michael Holley">Michael Holley</a>, former Around the Horn panelist, and <a href="Bill_Wolff_(television_executive)" title="Bill Wolff (television executive)">Bill Wolff</a>.

Max took time off from the show after the death of his brother. He later returned, but despite his show garnering the network's highest ratings for a period of time, it was canceled by Fox. The last I, Max show aired on February 18, 2005. Max also was the co-host of <a href="Spike_TV" class="mw-redirect" title="Spike TV">Spike TV</a>'s 2006 series, <a href="King_of_Vegas" title="King of Vegas">King of Vegas</a>.

In 2005, <a href="Tucker_Carlson" title="Tucker Carlson">Tucker Carlson</a> announced that Kellerman would be a permanent contributor on his <a href="MSNBC" title="MSNBC">MSNBC</a> show <a href="Tucker_(television_program)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tucker (television program)">Tucker</a>. On a segment of the show called "The Outsider", Kellerman generally took the position selected by Carlson. Frequently, Carlson introduced Kellerman with a bio containing a humorously enthusiastic compliment. The show was canceled in March 2008.

Starting in the week of August 21, 2006, Kellerman did at least two nights of audition shows at 7 pm for <a href="WEPN_(AM)" title="WEPN (AM)">WEPN</a>, a <a href="ESPN_Radio" title="ESPN Radio">ESPN Radio</a> station in New York City, hosting one night with <a href="Sid_Rosenberg" title="Sid Rosenberg">Sid Rosenberg</a>. On August 28, 2006, it was announced that Brandon Tierney would be taking over at 7 pm, which temporarily left Kellerman without a timeslot. On October 23, 2006, Max began hosting the 10 am to noon program on WEPN, replacing ESPN's nationally broadcast <a href="Colin_Cowherd" title="Colin Cowherd">Colin Cowherd</a> program.

In September 2007, Kellerman began hosting a third hour, extending the show to 1 pm. Two months later, <a href="ESPNEWS" class="mw-redirect" title="ESPNEWS">ESPNEWS</a> and <a href="SportsCenter" title="SportsCenter">SportsCenter</a> host Brian Kenny joined the show as co-host. On February 4, 2008, the show was added to <a href="XM_Satellite_Radio" title="XM Satellite Radio">XM Radio</a> on <a href="ESPN_Xtra" class="mw-redirect" title="ESPN Xtra">ESPN Xtra</a>. In the fall of 2008, Kenny left the radio program to attend to his SportsCenter duties and the program was again named The Max Kellerman Show.

Kellerman and ESPN Radio mutually ended their relationship on March 9, 2009. Evening host Brandon Tierney temporarily filled in Kellerman, and Colin Cowherd took his timeslot.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a>

Kellerman continued his boxing broadcast work at <a href="HBO" title="HBO">HBO</a>. He was originally hired for the network's <a href="Boxing_After_Dark" title="Boxing After Dark">Boxing After Dark</a> telecasts, working alongside <a href="Fran_Charles" title="Fran Charles">Fran Charles</a> and <a href="Lennox_Lewis" title="Lennox Lewis">Lennox Lewis</a>. In 2007, Kellerman moved up to the <a href="HBO_World_Championship_Boxing" title="HBO World Championship Boxing">HBO World Championship Boxing</a> main team alongside <a href="Jim_Lampley" title="Jim Lampley">Jim Lampley</a>, <a href="Harold_Lederman" title="Harold Lederman">Harold Lederman</a>, and a rotating guest analyst, usually <a href="Roy_Jones_Jr." title="Roy Jones Jr.">Roy Jones Jr.</a> or <a href="Emanuel_Steward" title="Emanuel Steward">Emanuel Steward</a>.

On May 12, 2010, it was announced Kellerman had been hired by <a href="CNN" title="CNN">CNN</a>: "Kellerman will weigh in on sports and pop culture issues on CNN American Morning and other programs. He has previously served as a contributor to MSNBC."<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a>

Kellerman was announced in December 2010 as the new midday host at ESPN Radio station <a href="KSPN_(AM)" title="KSPN (AM)">KSPN</a> in <a href="Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a>, alongside former NFL player co-host <a href="Marcellus_Wiley" title="Marcellus Wiley">Marcellus Wiley</a>, replacing LA Sports Live with Andrew Siciliano and former NBA player Mychal Thompson. Program director Mike Thompson (no relation to Mychal Thompson), who hired Kellerman, had worked with Kellerman at WEPN.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a>

In May 2015, Kellerman covered the <a href="Floyd_Mayweather_Jr._vs._Manny_Pacquiao" title="Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao">Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao</a> boxing match for HBO.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> He received criticism online for his post-match interview with <a href="Manny_Pacquiao" title="Manny Pacquiao">Manny Pacquiao</a>.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> <a href="The_Guardian" title="The Guardian">The Guardian</a> stated that his line of questioning was, "interpreted as patronizing" as his wording to Pacquiao was "You thought you won today, Why?" However, Kellerman retorted that he "had to ask him" about his disagreement with the judges' adjudication.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a>

Kellerman replaced <a href="Skip_Bayless" title="Skip Bayless">Skip Bayless</a> on ESPN's <a href="First_Take_(talk_show)" title="First Take (talk show)">First Take</a> as co-analyst alongside <a href="Stephen_A._Smith" title="Stephen A. Smith">Stephen A. Smith</a> and host <a href="Molly_Qerim" title="Molly Qerim">Molly Qerim</a>, effective July 25, 2016.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a>

With HBO leaving the boxing business at the end of 2018, Kellerman signed a multiyear contract with ESPN which greatly expanded his role in the network's boxing coverage. However, in contrast to his color-commentary role with HBO, for ESPN he presided over network coverage from the broadcast desk rather than at ringside.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a>

Kellerman departed from First Take in September 2021 after Stephen A. Smith requested his removal, citing a lack of chemistry necessary for the show’s long-term success.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> Kellerman was subsequently laid off from ESPN in June 2023.<a href="#cite_note-dead-hayes-23-12">[12]</a>
