SHOWTIME® ANNOUNCES RAW AND REVEALING DOCUMENTARY CHRONICLING SPORTSCASTER MAURO RANALLO AND HIS LIFELONG BATTLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS

 

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER Premieres During Mental Health Awareness Month

On Ostirala, Maiatza 25 at 9 p.m. ETA/PT SHOWTIME on

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, Maiatza 25 at 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. Orain, lehen aldiz, 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,” said 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,", Esan zuen Stephen Espinoza, Lehendakaria, 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 urte, 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.

 

 

 

Gaur, Ranallo is the voice of three prominent nationally televised series: SHOWTIME txapelketa boxeoa®, WWE’s weekly show NXT on WWE Network, eta 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 (Maiatza 2015, international telecast); eta Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor (Abu. 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 Mayweatherren kasua, Jr.. Vs. CM Punk UFC Cage-n

By: Rich Bergeron

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.. ez da borrokan amaitu. Alde bakarreko boxeo partida batean Conor McGregorrekin lortu zuen dirua ez da oso erraza izango borroka kirolen mundu arriskutsutik kanpo lortzea.. Erretiroak beti Floyden jaten duela dirudi, eta lehenago edo beranduago itzultzen da mundua harritzen duen beste blockbuster bat egiteko.

 

CM Punk-ek zozketa bat behar du bere karreran interesa pizteko. Nahiz eta hurrengo mutilari beti bizirik dagoen zitala gainditzen badiote UFC Octogon-en elikatzen diote, Punkak oraindik asko izango du frogatzeko. Jarri Mayweatherren aurka mundu mailako boxeolariarentzako MMA borrokarako ongi etorrian, eta egin ezazu kontratuan nahi dituen abantaila eta babes-emakida guztiak ematen dizkion Floyd-en ametsa..

 

Floyd berehala McGregorren aurka sartuko den underdog automatikoa izango litzateke kaiolan. CM Punk bezalako desafio batek borrokarako aukera gehiago ematen dio. CM punk-i bere karrera benetan abiarazteko aukera ematen dio Floyd irabazten badio.

 

Izan ere,, Mayweather-ek arte martzial mistoen kirola azkar ikas dezake, eta bere abiadura eta atletismoarekin, aukera deigarriagoak emanda, bere lehen MMA borrokan harritu gaitzakeen… benetan kaiolan borrokaren hitzak ekintzarekin babesten baditu.

 

Boxeo partidarako biran, Floydek behin eta berriz aipatu zuen McGregor kaiolan borrokatzeko ideia boxeo-partidak bere bidea egin ostean.. Ez ditu egiazkoak direnik edo egia izan daitezkeen gauzak ozen esaten.

 

Duela urte Las Vegas-en Mayweather-en entrenamendu saio batean Leonard Ellerberen ondoan ring-ertzean egotearen zortea izan nuen..

 

Gupelei ukabilkadarik eman baino lehen galdetu nion zer gustatzen zitzaion gehien boxeoa. Ez nintzen hurbiltzen saiatu prentsaren presa handian, beraz, uste dut ez zuela galderarik espero.

 

Isilik eseri zen, eta ez nuen nahi zintzilik zintzilik ipurdi bat bezala haizean. galdetu nion berriro, are ozenago. Ez zuen nire bidera begiratu bere buruarekin itzala egiten zuen bitartean. “Dena.” onartu zuen azkenean, eta gero, bere abiadura eta ukabilkada trebetasuna erakusteko lanera joan zen hedabide guztiek ikus zezaten.

 

Ukondoak sartuz, atzerako ukabilak, ostikadak eta borroka errutinan aritzeak benetako munstro bat sor lezake Mayweather-etik. Era, kaiolara segituko zuen boxeoaren dirua izugarria izan liteke berarentzat eta UFCrentzat. Bere adinean lan piloa beharko da kirol berrira egokitzeko, baina CM Punk-ek lehen aurkari gisa nahiko baxu jartzen du bi gizonek euren partaidetza erakusteko aukera izan dezaten.. Eman biei entrenamendu serio bat, egin reality show bat hortik, eta gerta liteke.

 

 

 

“Dirua” Dagoeneko prestatzen ari da arte martzial mistoetan entrenatzeko Tyron Woodley UFC Champ-ekin, eta duela gutxi Woodley eta McGregor borrokalari gisa goraipatu zituen:

 

«Beraz, gauza batzuk moldatu behar ditugu, eraman gauzak hurrengo mailara. Badakizu ezin dudala MMA-ko tiporik ahaztu edo kolpatu. Tyron sinesgaitza da. Borrokalari sinesgaitza, lehiakide gogorra. Conor McGregor, lehiakide gogorra da, kaixo borrokalaria. Gogor asko dago, MMAn dauden mutil zakarrak eta ezin ditut mutil horiek ahaztu edo errespetatu".

 

 

 

MMA versus Boxing eztabaida nire iritzia egitea erabaki baino askoz lehenagotik egon da aditu bat beste baten aurka jartzen duten irratsaio batzuekin.. Nire gogokoenetako bat zen “Iceman” John Scully Ken Shamrock-en aurka.

 

Ez da harritzekoa, bi borrokalari/entrenatzaile aditu hauen arteko eztabaida Mayweather-era joan zen MMArako gurutzapena eginez. Hau ez da Floyden kontzeptu berria. Hamarkada bat baino gehiago daramatza MMAn inoiz egin ez zuelako kritikariek, beti pentsatzen nola egunen batean bere gorrotoak gaizki frogatu ditzakeen.

 

 

Bere pisu-mailako MMA borrokalari onenak Floyd eraisten duela uste duen edonork ez du inoiz ikusi entrenatzen. Zer egin lezake tipo honek sintonizazio borroka pare batekin eta titulua okertu batekin? Zer moduz 9 hilabeteetan entrenamendu gogorra hartu eta aurkezteko defentsan?

 

MMAri buruz ezer dakiten guztiek eta haien anaiak MMAn huts egin zuten iraganeko boxeolari guztien argudioa erabiltzea erabakitzen dute.. Randy Couture-k James Toney erraz garaitu zuen freakshow borroka oroitzen digute.. Floyd Mayweather, Jr.. ez dago James Toney kaiolan borrokatzeko aukera izan zuenean baino maila ezberdinean bakarrik, beste planeta batean dago.

 

 

Floydek entrenatzaile onenak ordaindu ditzake, dena onena benetan UFC Octogon sartzeko prestatzeko. Ez du gasturik galduko finantzak eta izerdiko ekitateak boxeoaren eta MMAren lehiaren historiako crossover borrokalari onena gisa duen ondarea sendotzeko.. Nork dituen benetako kirolari onenak? Mayweather boxeoaren onena ordezkatzen ari da, eta ez du denbora askorik geratzen mundu mailako boxeolari batek ikuspegi eta estrategia egokiarekin MMA eszena menderatu dezakeela frogatzeko.

 

 

 

McGregorrek frogatu zuen Floyd-i boxeo-ringean eraso batzuk eman zizkiola, baina UFC kontratuaren hirugarren borrokan partida hori berriro gerta liteke kaiolan. Floydek berea dela erakutsi behar du, baina lehen urratsa bere hitzak ekintzekin babesteko gogoa izatea da. McGregorreko borrokarako boxeo prentsa biran esan zuen McGregor irabazi zuenean bere lanbidean, UFCra joango zen eta kaiolan Conor irabaziko zuen, gehiegi.

 

 

 

bat aurreikusten dut “Shark Tank” Mayweather eta Dana White UFCko presidentearen arteko negoziazio mota. Floydek promozioaren zati bat lortu beharko du, babesteko diru-kopuru basati baterako sarbidea, komunikabideetako diru-sarrerak biltzeko aukerak, eta bederen $10 milioi borroka bakoitzeko oinarrizko soldatan. Aurreikusten duen mila milioi dolarreko kontratua lortzeko, abokatuek xehetasunak argituko dituzte Floydek bere lehen borrokarako entrenatu behar duela erabakitzen duen bitartean..

 

Floydek erraz sartu lezake $90+ milioika babesteko eta komunikabideetako diru-sarrerak egiteko $100 milioi bat borroka bakoitzeko Showtime-ko zuzendariekin bere txokoan eta kameren aurrean egotearen ezagutza. Bost borroka akordioak esan nahi du bat dagoela 1/2 milioi dolarreko tartea UFC-k Floyd-i oinarrizko soldatagatik zenbat emango liokeen gutxiesten ez badut. Egiten badu ere $200 milioi borroka bakoitzeko, gainerakoak korporazio orokorretik bertatik atera beharko lirateke ondare gisa, horixe da Conor McGregorrek eskatzen duena.

 

Floydek jabea/bazkide izateak alde handiagoa du eta abantaila handia izango litzateke UFC-k noizbait boxeoa sustatu nahi duenean.. Gainera, bere zaleak eta diziplina berrian azotatu eta eskolatzen ikusi nahi duten guztiak ekar ditzake. Begiak ekartzen ditu, Muturreko arreta eta dirua berarekin joaten den tokira. Batean $5 mila milioi balioespena, UFC-k litekeena da sustapenaren ehuneko hamarreko zati bat alde batera utzi ahal izatea Mayweather ofizialki ontziratu eta epe luzerako akordio baterako blokeatu ahal izateko..

 

 

Floydek eragin handia izan dezakeen beste arloa boxeolari gehiago erakartzea da MMAra pasatzeko.. Matt Mitrione eta Greg Hardy bezalako futbolariek ia berehalako arrakasta izan dutela MMAn ikusi dugu, beraz, zergatik ez Floyd bezalako mundu mailako boxeolari bat? 19-0 Gervonta Davis boxeolari profesionalak Floyd babestua MMAra jarraitzen duela iradokitzen du eta dio Dana Whiteren telefono-deiaren zain dago. Gero, pisu astunetako boxeolariak daude kaiolara ekartzea pentsatzeko, eta Hitzaren Txapelduna Anthony Joshua gogotsu dago jaurtiketa emateko, gehiegi.

 

 

 

Beraz, litekeena da Mayweather aurtengo abendurako lehiatzeko kaiolan sartzea gaiari buruz orain arte izan duen bideo polemikoenetako bat uste baduzu.:

 

 

Mayweather MMA borrokalari paregabea izan daiteke aukera erdia ematen bazaio. Ez da horrelako erronka bat arin hartzen duen gizona. Ahalik eta hurbilketarik onena izango du kaiola-borrokan sartzeko. Era guztietako interesak ekarriko ditu berriro boxeo vs. MMA eztabaida eta benetan eztabaida horren fase berri bat ere inspiratu dezake. Borroka-kirolen munduak, oro har, onura izango du Floydek eta UFC-k lankidetza hau funtzionatzen badute.

 

 

Floyd bizirik jango dutela uste dutenei dagokienez, zalantzarik gabe euren iritzia jasotzeko eskubidea dute, baina ez erabili McGregorren porrota boxeora egokitzeko zure taberna gisa Floydentzat. Mayweather-ek ez du mundu mailako MMA borrokalari bat hartuko kaiolan sartzen den lehen aldian. Ez du Paulie Malignaggi-ren MMA baliokidea ekarriko kirola azkartzeko. Ez du gasturik izango ahalik eta prestaketa onena lortzeko. Dagoeneko hori egia dela erakusten ari da Tyron Woodley bere prestakuntza-kide ofizial gisa ekarriz. Eskuz aukeratuko du bere lehen aurkaria eta ziurrenik ez du titulurik lortuko bizpahiru borrokak bere bidea egin arte.

 

MMA gimnasio batera agertu eta sei aste barru UFC mailan atera daitezkeela uste dutenen kritikak erotzat joko nau, baina Floyd benetan zalantzan jartzen dituen atleta harrigarria da, eta ez da gaztetzen. Orain edo inoiz ez da galdera hori konpontzeko zein kirol den benetan borrokalari ideala lantzeko.

FNU Combat Kirol Show: CM Punk ez dago prest Floydrentzat, UFC Fight Night Preview eta boxeolari iruzurrak kartzelara joan behar direla uste duten pisu astunak

USA Men’s And Women’s Wrestlers To Compete At New York City’s South Street Seaport May 17 for Beat the Streets Annual Benefit

 

Select American Stars To Take On International Squad At Newly-Renovated Pier 17 In Ninth Annual Event; Youth Wrestlers And High School Wrestlers Take The Mat; Benefit Celebration Follows

 

 

 

 

 

NEW YORK– Beat the Streets Wrestling, Inc. and USA Wrestling announced today that the men’s and women’s national wrestling teams of the United States will again compete in their annual benefit event on Osteguna, Maiatza 17, but at a new location: South Street Seaport at Pier 17. The squads will take on international-level wrestlers from nations to be determined in the eighth annual wrestling celebration. Competitors for Team USA, which will likely include members of the 2016 Olympic team and 2017 World Championships team as well as other elite stars, and their opponents will be announced in the coming weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

“We are excited to celebrate the best of wrestling at the newly-renovated Pier 17 at South Street Seaport,” said Beat the Streets Chairman of the Board Mike Novogratz. “The Beat the Streets matches have annually been a fantastic showcase for the sport and its international appeal.”

 

 

 

 

 

This year will mark the first time that Beat the Streets has held its annual event at South Street Seaport. In 2013, the event dubbed “The Rumble on the Rails,” was hosted in historic Grand Central Terminal and featured dual meets between Team USA, Russia and Iran. Playing an important role in the international Keep Olympic Wrestling effort, this historic wrestling event gained international media coverage and helped wrestling retain its status on the Olympic Games program.

 

 

 

 

 

The world-class competition had been hosted in Times Square six previous times. In 2011, the United States defeated World Champion Russia, 5-2, the first sports event ever held in historic Times Square. In 2012, another U.S. vs. Russia dual meet was held in Times Square, along with the U.S. Olympic Team Wrestle-off for the 60 kg/132 lbs. position on the U.S. Olympic Team in men’s freestyle. In 2014, Team USA defeated a World All-Star Team in Times Square, 8-3. In 2015, “Salsa in the Square” featured a meeting between Team USA and Team Cuba in the three Olympic styles, held shortly after the historic change in USA and Cuban political relations. In 2017, the US met Iran in a dual meet in Times Square as a preview to the 2016 Joko Olinpikoetan. Azkenik, iaz, Team Japan provided the opposition in a spirited competition at Duffy Square.

 

 

 

 

 

This will be the ninth straight year in which a major international-style wrestling competition will be hosted as part of the Beat the Streets Benefit activities. In 2010, an all-star challenge featuring top U.S. wrestlers was held on the USS Intrepid, an aircraft carrier docked on the west side of Manhattan.

 

 

 

 

 

Top Beat the Streets youth wrestlers will take the mat showcasing their skills in exhibition matches beginning at 3:00 p.m. to kick off the NYC Benefit. For the third straight year, the Benefit will feature the PSAL Girls Freestyle Dual Meet Championships finals, showcasing the two top New York City girl’s freestyle wrestling high school teams from the spring girl’s freestyle season. Then it’s Team USA vs. an international squad at 6:00 p.m. with video highlights and special guest appearances followed by the Beat the Streets Benefit Celebration.

 

 

 

 

 

Tickets are required for entry and can be purchased at www.btsny.org edo 212.245.6570 or by emailing Kate Linker at klinker@btsny.org. Standing room available for non-ticket holders on first come first serve basis. A ticket is required for the Benefit Celebration at the Marriott Marquis.

 

 

 

 

 

The Benefit Celebration will follow the wrestling competition. This unique and electrifying annual event helps Beat the Streets (BTS) raise significant funds to further its mission. Whether it’s providing a safe, constructive outlet for our urban youth, fighting childhood obesity, empowering women, or uniting entire nations, wrestling teaches persistence, dedikazioa, and the value of working hard to achieve one’s goals and creates opportunities for personal and universal growth. BTS currently serve over 3,000 student-athletes every year.
