BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER Premieres During Mental Health Awareness Month
Su Venerdì, Maggio 25 a 9 p.m. E/PT su Showtime
Foto per gentile concessione: SHOWTIME/Amanda Westcott
NEW YORK - aprile 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, Maggio 25 a 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. Ora, per la prima volta, 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,” ha detto 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,", Ha detto Stephen Espinoza, Presidente, 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 anni, 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 on 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, kickboxing, MMA and professional wrestling events on national television.
Oggi, Ranallo is the voice of three prominent nationally televised series: Showtime Championship Boxing®, WWE’s weekly show NXT on WWE Network, e 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 (Maggio 2015, international telecast); e Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor (Agosto. 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.

Da: Rich Bergeron
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. non è fatto di combattimento. I soldi che ha fatto con Conor McGregor in un incontro di boxe a senso unico non sarà molto facile fare al di fuori del mondo pericoloso di sport da combattimento. La pensione sembra sempre di mangiare a Floyd, e prima o poi torna per un altro campione d'incassi incontro che scosse il mondo.
CM Punk ha bisogno di un pareggio per farci interessati nella sua carriera. Anche se si batte la merda sempre viva fuori il prossimo ragazzo che lo alimentano in UFC Octagon, Punk avrà ancora molto da dimostrare. Mettetelo in contro Mayweather in un benvenuto a MMA incontro per il pugile di classe mondiale, e rendere la configurazione sogno per Floyd che lui tutti i vantaggi e le concessioni di sponsorizzazione dà vuole nel contratto.
Floyd sarebbe un perdente automatico che va in contro McGregor immediatamente nella gabbia. Uno sfidante come CM Punk gli dà più di una possibilità di combattere. Esso fornisce CM Punk la possibilità di lanciare veramente la sua carriera se riesce a battere Floyd.
Il fatto è, Mayweather può imparare lo sport delle arti marziali miste in fretta, e con la sua velocità e atletismo, dato opzioni più sorprendenti che potesse in realtà ci scioccare nel suo primo combattimento MMA… se davvero il backup il suo discorso di combattimenti nella gabbia con l'azione.
Durante il tour per l'incontro di pugilato, Floyd più volte fatto riferimento l'idea di combattere McGregor nella gabbia, dopo l'incontro di pugilato se ne andò. Egli non dice le cose ad alta voce che in realtà non credo siano vere o potrebbe essere vero se avesse affondato il suo sforzo in esso.
Ho avuto la fortuna di stare in piedi sul bordo del ring vicino alla Leonard Ellerbe nel corso di una sessione di allenamento Mayweather a Las Vegas anni fa.
Prima ha gettato pugni sui guanti gli ho chiesto cosa che gli piaceva di più di boxe. Non ho tentato di avvicinarsi durante la grande stampa di punta, quindi penso che non si aspettava la domanda.
Si sedette in silenzio, e non volevo che vada appeso come un cattivo peto nel vento. Ho chiesto di nuovo, ancora più forte. Non sembrava la mia strada come lui shadowboxed con se stesso. “Qualunque cosa.” ha finalmente ammesso, e poi è andato a lavorare su esporre la sua velocità e punzonatura prodezza per tutti i media a vedere.
incorporando gomiti, backfists, calci e wrestling nella sua routine di combattimento potrebbe creare un vero mostro di Mayweather. Anche, il denaro dalla boxe che lo avrebbe seguito alla gabbia potrebbe essere tremendo per lui e l'UFC simili. Ci vorrà un sacco di lavoro alla sua età di adattarsi al nuovo sport, ma CM Punk come primo avversario imposta la barra piuttosto basso con entrambi gli uomini avere la possibilità di dimostrare di appartenenza. Dare loro sia un grave campo di addestramento, fare un reality show fuori di esso, e potrebbe succedere.
“Soldi” si sta già preparando per la formazione nelle arti marziali miste con UFC Champ Tyron Woodley, e lui colmo qualche lode sia Woodley e McGregor come combattenti di recente:
Il MMA vs dibattito boxe è in corso da molto tempo prima ho deciso di fare la mia prendere su di esso con una serie di trasmissioni radiofoniche pitting un esperto contro un altro. Uno dei miei preferiti era “Iceman” John Scully contro Ken Shamrock.
Non sorprendentemente, il dibattito tra queste due esperti combattente / formatore scivolato nella Mayweather rendere il crossover a MMA. Questo non è un concetto nuovo per Floyd. E 'stato sentito i critici YAP di lui mai rendendolo in MMA per più di un decennio, sempre a pensare a come si potrebbe un giorno dimostrare il suo odiatori sbagliato.
Chi pensa il miglior combattente di MMA nella sua classe di peso demolisce Floyd ha mai guardato in treno. Che cosa potrebbe fare questo ragazzo con un paio di scontri tune-up e un titolo tilt? Che ne dite di 9 mesi di duro allenamento in takedown e la sottomissione della difesa?
Tutti e il loro fratello, che sa qualcosa di MMA decide di utilizzare l'argomento di tutti i pugili del passato che non sono riusciti a MMA. Ci ricordano tutto della lotta freakshow coinvolge Randy Couture facilmente sconfitto James Toney. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. non è solo su un piano diverso rispetto James Toney è stato quando ha avuto la possibilità di combattere nella gabbia, lui è su un altro pianeta.
Floyd può permettersi i migliori allenatori, il meglio di tutto in realtà nella preparazione per entrare nella UFC Octagon. Egli non badare a spese delle finanze e sudore equità nella cementando la sua eredità come il miglior combattente di crossover nella storia della boxe e MMA rivalità. Chi ha le migliori veri atleti? Mayweather sta rappresentando di migliore boxe, e lui non ha più molto tempo per dimostrare che un pugile di classe mondiale in grado di dominare la scena MMA con il giusto approccio e la strategia.
McGregor ha dimostrato che poteva dare Floyd qualche inserisce sul ring, ma il terzo incontro in un contratto UFC quella partita potrebbe accadere di nuovo nella gabbia. Floyd è solo per dimostrare che appartiene, ma il primo passo è avere il coraggio di sostenere le sue parole con le azioni. Egli ha detto durante il tour stampa di boxe per la lotta McGregor che, quando ha battuto McGregor nel suo mestiere, sarebbe andato a UFC e battere Conor nella gabbia, troppo.
Mi aspetto un “Vasca degli squali” tipo di negoziazione tra Mayweather e il presidente UFC Dana White. Floyd avrà bisogno di ottenere un pezzo di promozione per sé, l'accesso a una quantità selvaggia di sponsorizzazione in denaro, opzioni per raccogliere sul reddito dei media, e almeno $10 milioni per combattere in pay solo di base. Per ottenere il contratto da un miliardo di dollari che prevede, gli avvocati saranno aggiustando il dettagli per il tempo che Floyd decide che ha bisogno di allenarsi per il suo primo combattimento.
Floyd potrebbe facilmente incamerare $90+ milioni di sponsorizzazioni e proventi media per fare $100 milioni per combattere con i dirigenti Showtime nel suo angolo e una familiarità con l'essere davanti alle telecamere. Un contratto di cinque lotta significa che c'è una 1/2 miliardi di dollari gap a meno che non sto sottovalutando quanto l'UFC darebbe Floyd per paga base. Anche se fa $200 milioni per lotta, il resto dovrebbe venire fuori della società globale in sé come patrimonio netto, che è ciò che Conor McGregor sta chiedendo.
Floyd ha solo un rialzo più grande per essere un proprietario / socio e sarebbe una grande risorsa quando si tratta di UFC voler promuovere la boxe ad un certo punto. Egli può anche portare i suoi fan e tutti coloro che vogliono vederlo ottenere frustato e istruito nella nuova disciplina. Egli porta bulbi oculari, estrema attenzione e il denaro con sé ovunque vada. Nel corso di una $5 miliardi dollari di valutazione, UFC sarebbe probabilmente in grado di parte con una percentuale pezzo dieci della promozione per portare Mayweather ufficialmente a bordo e ottenere lo chiuse dentro per un accordo a lungo termine.
L'altra area che Floyd potrebbe avere un enorme impatto sulla IS nell'attrarre più pugili per attraversare a MMA. Abbiamo visto i giocatori di calcio come Matt Mitrione e Greg Hardy esperienza di successo praticamente immediato in MMA, quindi perché non un mondo di classe pugile come Floyd? 19-0 Pro Boxer Gervonta Davis è già alludendo al seguente il suo protetto Floyd di MMA e dice: sta solo aspettando la telefonata di Dana White. Poi vi sono i pugili pesi massimi a pensare a portare nella gabbia, e Campione Word Anthony Joshua è appassionato di dare un colpo, troppo.
Così, le probabilità sono alte che Mayweather passi nella gabbia di competere entro dicembre di quest'anno, se si ritiene uno dei suoi video più controversi fino ad oggi sul tema:
Mayweather potrebbe essere un combattente incredibile MMA se dato la metà la possibilità. Egli non è un uomo che prende una sfida come questo con leggerezza. Egli avrà il miglior approccio possibile per entrare in forma Cagefighting. Egli porterà tutti i tipi di tornare interesse per la boxe vs. il dibattito MMA e in realtà potrebbe anche ispirare una nuova fase del dibattito. Il mondo dello sport da combattimento come un tutto andrà a beneficio se Floyd e l'UFC possono fare questo lavoro di partnership.
Quanto a coloro che pensano Floyd otterrà mangiato vivo, essi sono certamente diritto alla propria opinione, ma non usare fallimento di McGregor per adattarsi alla boxe come il vostro bar per Floyd. Mayweather non assumerà un combattente di classe mondiale MMA la prima volta che passi nella gabbia. Egli non porterà nell'equivalente MMA di Paulie Malignaggi per arrivare fino a velocità sullo sport. Egli non badare a spese per ottenere la migliore preparazione possibile. Ha già dimostrando che per essere vero, portando Tyron Woodley come suo partner ufficiale di formazione. Egli prenderà parte il suo primo avversario e probabilmente non ottenere qualsiasi crepa in un titolo fino a due o tre combattimenti vanno come vuole lui.
I critici di persone che pensano di poter mostrare fino a una palestra di MMA e vengono fuori in sei settimane a livello UFC mi chiameranno pazzo, ma Floyd è davvero un atleta straordinario che può tacere i suoi detrattori, e non sta certo ringiovanendo. E 'ora o mai più per risolvere il problema di cui lo sport è veramente meglio a lavorazione il combattente ideale.
