BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER Premieres During Mental Health Awareness Month
Na Pátek, Květen 25 na 9 p.m. A/PT na SHOWTIME
Photo Courtesy: SHOWTIME/Amanda Westcott
NEW YORK – April 30, 2018 – Prolific combat sports broadcaster Mauro Ranallo and his lifelong battle with mental illness are the subject of a new documentary film from SHOWTIME Sports®. BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER – named for the moniker Ranallo gave himself as a broadcast personality and DJ in the early 90’s – will premiere on SHOWTIME during Mental Health Awareness Month on Friday, Květen 25 na 9 p.m. ET / PT.
First look video: https://s.sho.com/2Ft4Mig
Ranallo has Bipolar Affective Disorder, a condition afflicting nearly five percent of the U.S. population according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI.org). As a national sportscaster for preeminent boxing, mixed martial arts and WWE events, Ranallo has long been an advocate for ending the stigma of mental illness. Nyní, poprvé, he exposes the true extent of his daily struggle. Through extensive behind-the-scenes video footage, candid personal interviews and detailed accounts from his loved ones and doctors, BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER takes an unflinching look at mental illness and its effects.
The film explores Ranallo’s career, including his work on the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history, and his relentless pursuit of a childhood dream despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Through this deeply personal portrait, Ranallo hopes that the film might inspire others to persevere in pursuing their dreams despite the challenges of a mental health condition.
“I have always tried to do my part to bring awareness to mental health issues,“Řekl Ranallo. “Over the last several years, I allowed my best friend, Haris (Usanovic), to film me at my lowest points as well as at my highest. The idea is simply to show others who suffer that they are not alone and that, even when the outlook is bleak, you can overcome and achieve success. Mental illness is a life sentence—there is no cure—but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence.”
“Through BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER, Mauro Ranallo has chosen to share not only his life’s dreams, but his nightmares as well,"Řekl Stephen Espinoza, Prezident, Sports and Event Programming for Showtime Networks Inc. “Having reached the pinnacle of his profession, Mauro bravely turns his keen observational skills inward to examine his own life-long battle. The result is a raw, poignant and ultimately inspirational film that personifies Mauro’s courage and selflessness.”
Ranallo is a popular fixture on today’s combat sports scenes. In a career that has spanned more than 30 léta, he has called everything from “All-Star Wrestling,” a Canadian professional wrestling outfit, to historic MMA events for PRIDE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS out of Japan, to WWE SmackDown Live na USA Network, to many of the biggest boxing events in the world for SHOWTIME Sports. Ranallo was the first broadcaster to call play-by-play on boxing, kickbox, MMA and professional wrestling events on national television.
Dnes, Ranallo is the voice of three prominent nationally televised series: SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®, WWE’s weekly show NXT on WWE Network, a BELLATOR MMA on Paramount Network. Perhaps best known for his dramatic, excitable style, Ranallo is a student of the English language. He has already made a lasting mark on the industry having called the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history: Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao (Květen 2015, international telecast); a Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor (Srpna. 2017, SHOWTIME PPV®).
BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER is produced by Brian Dailey, the network’s Vice President, Sports Digital Content and Strategy, and MALKA MEDIA GROUP. Directed by first-time filmmaker Haris Usanovic, the film is executive produced by Stephen Espinoza and SHOWTIME Sports.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. není v pořádku bojovat. Peníze, které se s Conor McGregor v jednostranném boxerský zápas nebude příliš snadné, aby se mimo nebezpečného světa bojových sportů. Odchod do důchodu vždy Zdá se, že jíst v Floyd, a dříve nebo později se vrátí na další senzace záchvatu, který šokuje svět.
CM Punk potřebuje čerpat, aby nás zajímají o své kariéry. I v případě, že porazí stále žijící kecy z dalšího chlapa ho krmit v UFC Octagon, Punk bude ještě hodně dokázat. Dejte ho proti Mayweather v uvítání na MMA záchvat pro světové boxer, a učinit z něj instalační snem Floyd, že mu všechny výhody a sponzorování koncese dává chce ve smlouvě.
Floyd by automatické smolař jdou proti McGregor hned v kleci. Challenger jako CM Punk mu dává větší šanci bojovat. Dává CM Punk šanci skutečně zahájit svoji kariéru, jestli může porazit Floyd.
Faktem je,, Mayweather může rychle naučit sport smíšených bojových umění, a s jeho rychlostí a atletiky, Uvedené více nápadné možnosti, že by nás skutečně šok ve svém prvním boji MMA… kdyby skutečně zálohuje jeho řeči o bojích v kleci s mechanikou.
Při prohlídce na zápas v boxu, Floyd opakovaně odkazoval myšlenku boje proti McGregor v kleci po zápase v boxu šel svou cestou. Neříká věci nahlas, že není opravdu myslíme, že jsou pravdivé, nebo by mohla být pravda, kdyby klesl jeho úsilí do něj.
Měl jsem štěstí, stojící na okraji kruhu vedle Leonarda Ellerbe během tréninku Mayweather v Las Vegas před několika lety.
Před hodil nějaké údery na rukavice bez prstů Zeptal jsem se ho, co se mu líbí nejvíc boxu. I nepokusil přiblížit při velké tiskové spěchu, takže myslím, že nečekal na otázku.
On seděl mlčky, a nechtěl jsem, aby to jít viset jako špatný prd ve větru. Zeptal jsem se ho znovu, ještě hlasitěji. Nevypadal mou cestu, jak se shadowboxed sám se sebou. “Všechno.” nakonec připustil,, a pak šel do práce na vystavování jeho rychlost a děrování zdatnost pro všechna média vidět.
začlenění lokty, backfists, kopy a zápas do své bojové rutinní mohla vytvořit skutečné monstrum ven Mayweather. Také, peníze z boxu, který by ho následovali do klece by mohly být obrovské pro něj a podobně UFC. Bude to trvat spoustu práce ve svém věku, aby se přizpůsobily novým sportem, ale CM Punk jako první soupeř nastavuje laťku poměrně nízký s oběma muži dostat šanci ukázat, kam patří. Dát jim tak vážný soustředění, aby se reality show z něj, a to by se mohlo stát.
“Peníze” již připravuje trénovat ve smíšených bojových umění s UFC Champ Tyron Woodley, a to nashromáždil nějakou chválu na obou Woodley a McGregor jako bojovníků v poslední době:
MMA proti boxu debata probíhá již dávno předtím, než jsem se rozhodl udělat svůj vlastní pohled na něj sérii rozhlasových pořadů důlkové jednoho odborníka proti druhému. Jeden z mých oblíbených byla “Ledař” John Scully proti Ken Shamrock.
Nepřekvapivě, debata mezi těmito dvěma odborníky bojovník / trenér upadl do Mayweather dělat přechod k MMA. Nejedná se o nový koncept pro Floyd. Byl slyšel kritici Yap o něm nikdy dělat v MMA po dobu delší než deset let, Vždy přemýšlet o tom, že by se jednou mohl dokázat jeho nenávidí špatně.
Každý, kdo si myslí, že nejlepší MMA bojovníka ve své váhové kategorii ničí Floyd nikdy ho pozorovala, jak trénovat. Co by to člověk dělat s několika tune-up souboje a titulní náklonu? Co takhle 9 měsíce tvrdého tréninku v zastavení šíření a předložení obhajoby?
Všichni a jejich bratr, který ví něco o MMA rozhodne použít argument všech posledních boxerů, kteří neuspěli při MMA. Připomínají nám všechny Freakshow boje zahrnující Randy Couture snadno porazil James Toney. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Je to nejen na jiné úrovni než James Toney bylo, když dostal šanci bojovat v kleci, že je na jiné planetě.
Floyd může dovolit ty nejlepší trenéry, nejlepší ze všeho opravdu chystá vstoupit do UFC Octagon. Bude vynaložit náklady na finance a potu vlastního kapitálu při upevňování jeho dědictví jako nejlepší crossover bojovníkem v historii boxu a MMA soupeření. Kdo má nejlepší opravdové sportovce? Mayweather zastupuje box je nejlepší, a nemá moc času, aby prokázal, že na světové úrovni boxer může dominovat MMA scénu se správným přístupem a strategie.
McGregor se dokázat, že on mohl dát Floyd několik zapadá do ringu, ale na třetí boji do smlouvy o UFC by se mohlo stát, že zápas opět v kleci. Floyd má jen proto, aby ukázal, že patří, ale prvním krokem je mít odvahu zálohovat svá slova činy. Říkal, že v boxu tiskové turné k McGregor bojovat že když porazil McGregor ve své řemeslo, půjde do UFC a porazit Conor v kleci, také.
I předvídat “Nádrž se žraloky” typ vyjednávání mezi Mayweather a UFC prezident Dana White. Floyd budou muset získat kus propagace samotného, Přístup k divokému množství sponzorské hotovosti, možnosti vybírat z příjmu mediálního, a přinejmenším $10 milionů eur boje v právě základního platu. Chcete-li získat smlouvu na miliardu dolarů si představuje, právníci budou žehlení se podrobnosti o tak dlouho, jak Floyd se rozhodne, že potřebuje trénovat na svůj první boj.
Floyd mohl snadno shrábnout $90+ milionů sponzorství a příjmů médií, aby se $100 milionů za boj s Showtime manažery ve svém koutě a obeznámenost s tím, že se před kamerami. Pěti boj dohoda znamená, že je 1/2 miliard dolaru mezera, pokud jsem podceňuje, kolik by UFC dát Floyd pro základní mzda. I kdyby se mu dělá $200 milionů eur boje, Zbytek bude muset vyjít z celkového korporace sám jako vlastní kapitál, což je to, co Conor McGregor bylo žádá.
Floyd má prostě větší růstový potenciál, aby byl majitelem / partnera a bylo by velkým přínosem, pokud jde o UFC chtějí propagovat boxovat v určitém okamžiku. On může také přinést své fanoušky a každý, kdo si přeje, aby ho dostat šlehačkou a vzdělávali v nové disciplíně. Ten přináší bulvy, extrémní pozornost a peníze s sebou všude, kam jde. při $5 miliardy ocenění, UFC by pravděpodobně moci rozloučit s desetiprocentní kus podpoře aby Mayweather oficiálně na palubě a dostat jej zavřený v pro dlouhodobou dohodu.
Druhou oblastí, které Floyd může mít obrovský dopad na již přilákat více boxery přejet na MMA. Viděli jsme fotbalisty jako Matt Mitrione a Greg Hardy zkušenosti prakticky okamžitý úspěch v MMA, tak proč ne prvotřídní boxer jako Floyd? 19-0 Pro Boxer Gervonta Davis již zmiňovat po jeho chráněnce Floyd na MMA a říká: Je to jen čeká na Dana Whitea telefonátu. Pak jsou tu heavyweight boxeři přemýšlet o tom, přinášet do klece, a Champion Word Anthony Joshua má zájem na to, aby to zkusit, také.
Tak, šance jsou vysoké, že Mayweather kroky do klece soutěžit v prosinci tohoto roku, pokud si myslíte, jeden z jeho nejkontroverznějších videa doposud na toto téma:
Mayweather by mohlo být neuvěřitelné MMA bojovník jestliže daný poloviční šanci. Není to člověk, který má problém takhle lehce. Bude mít nejlepší možný přístup se dostat do tvaru cagefighting. Ten přinese všechny druhy zájmu zpět do boxu vs.. MMA debata a ve skutečnosti může dokonce inspirovat zcela novou etapu této diskuse. Bojové sporty svět jako celek budou mít prospěch, pokud Floyd a UFC může toto partnerství práci.
Co se týká těch, kteří si myslí Floyd dostane jíst zaživa, jsou jistě nárok na svůj názor, ale nepoužívají selhání McGregor přizpůsobit se boxu jako bar pro Floyd. Mayweather nebude trvat na světové úrovni MMA bojovníka poprvé vykročí v kleci. On nepřinese v MMA ekvivalent Paulie Malignaggi se dostat až na rychlost na sport. Bude vynaložit náklady, aby bylo co nejlépe připravit. Už o tom, že je to pravda tím, že Tyron Woodley, jak jeho oficiální tréninkový partner. Ten předá vybírat své první soupeře a pravděpodobně nedostane žádnou prasklinu v titulu až dva nebo tři souboje jít jeho cesta.
Kritici lidí, kteří si myslí, že mohou ukázat až do posilovny MMA a přijdou v šesti týdnech na úrovni UFC budou mi říkat blázen, ale Floyd je opravdu úžasný atlet, který může utišit jeho pochybovači, a on není nemládne. Je to teď, nebo nikdy řešit tuto otázku, jaký sport je opravdu lepší tvorbě ideálního bojovníka.
