These U.S. stars will face a talented Cuban team of men’s freestyle wrestlers as part of the exciting card of international competition. Cuba also brings a veteran team with past Olympic, World and Pan American medalists.

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

Lämna en kommentar

 

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER Premieres During Mental Health Awareness Month

På Fredag, Maj 25 vid 9 p.m. OCH/PT på SHOWTIME

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, Maj 25 vid 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. Nu, för första gången, 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,"Sade Stephen Espinoza, President, 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 år, 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, kickboxning, MMA and professional wrestling events on national television.

 

 

 

Idag, Ranallo is the voice of three prominent nationally televised series: Showtime MÄSTERSKAP BOXNING®, WWE’s weekly show NXT on WWE Network, och 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 (Maj 2015, international telecast); och Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor (Augusti. 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.

Fallet för Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Vs. CM Punk i UFC-buren

Lämna en kommentar

Av: Rich Bergeron

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. är inte klar med att slåss. Pengarna han tjänade med Conor McGregor i en ensidig boxningsmatch kommer inte att vara särskilt lätta att tjäna utanför kampsportens farliga värld. Pensionering verkar alltid äta på Floyd, och förr eller senare kommer han tillbaka för ännu en storsäljande match som chockerar världen.

 

CM Punk behöver oavgjort för att få oss intresserade av hans karriär. Även om han slår den ständigt levande skiten ur nästa kille matar de honom i UFC Octagon, Punk kommer fortfarande att ha mycket att bevisa. Sätt in honom mot Mayweather i en välkommen till MMA-match för världsklassboxaren, och gör det till drömupplägget för Floyd som ger honom alla förmåner och sponsringsmedgivanden han vill ha i kontraktet.

 

Floyd skulle vara en automatisk underdog som går in mot McGregor direkt i buren. En utmanare som CM Punk ger honom en större chans att slåss. Det ger CM-punk en chans att verkligen starta sin karriär om han kan slå Floyd.

 

Faktum är, Mayweather kan snabbt lära sig sporten blandad kampsport, och med sin snabbhet och atleticism, med fler slående alternativ kunde han faktiskt chocka oss i sin första MMA-kamp… om han verkligen backar upp sitt tal om att slåss i buren med handling.

 

Under turnén för boxningsmatchen, Floyd hänvisade upprepade gånger till idén att slåss mot McGregor i buren efter att boxningsmatchen gick hans väg. Han säger inte saker högt som han inte riktigt tror är sanna eller som kan vara sanna om han lade ner sin ansträngning i det.

 

Jag hade turen att stå på kanten av ringen bredvid Leonard Ellerbe under ett Mayweather-träningspass i Las Vegas för flera år sedan.

 

Innan han kastade några slag på vantarna frågade jag honom vad han tyckte mest om med boxning. Jag försökte inte komma nära under den stora pressrushen, så jag tror att han inte förväntade sig frågan.

 

Han satt tyst, och jag ville inte att den skulle hänga som en dålig fis i vinden. Jag frågade det igen, ännu högre. Han såg inte min väg när han skuggade med sig själv. “Allt.” han medgav till slut, och sedan gick han till jobbet med att visa upp sin snabbhet och slagförmåga för alla media att se.

 

Inkluderande armbågar, ryggnävar, sparkar och brottning i hans stridsrutin kan skapa ett riktigt monster ur Mayweather. Också, pengarna från boxningen som skulle följa honom till buren kan vara enorma både för honom och UFC. Det kommer att krävas massor av arbete i hans ålder för att anpassa sig till den nya sporten, men CM Punk som första motståndare sätter ribban ganska lågt och båda männen får en chans att visa att de hör hemma. Ge dem båda ett seriöst träningsläger, göra en dokusåpa av det, och det kan hända.

 

 

 

“Pengar” förbereder sig redan för att träna i blandad kampsport med UFC-mästaren Tyron Woodley, och han rönte lite beröm över både Woodley och McGregor som fighters nyligen:

 

"Så vi måste justera några saker då, ta saker till nästa nivå. Du vet att jag inte kan förbise eller slå någon MMA-kille. Tyron är otrolig. Otrolig fighter, tuff konkurrent. Conor McGregor, han är en tuff konkurrent, jävla fighter. Det finns mycket tufft, robusta killar där ute i MMA och jag kan inte förbise eller respektlösa de killarna."

 

 

 

MMA kontra boxning-debatten har pågått sedan långt innan jag bestämde mig för att ta mig an den med en serie radioprogram som ställer en expert mot en annan. En av mina favoriter var “Iceman” John Scully mot Ken Shamrock.

 

Inte överraskande, Debatten mellan dessa två fighter/tränarexperter drev in i Mayweather och gjorde crossover till MMA. Detta är inget nytt koncept för Floyd. Han har hört kritikerna tjata om att han aldrig klarat sig i MMA i mer än ett decennium nu, tänker alltid på hur han en dag skulle kunna bevisa sina haters fel.

 

 

Den som tror att den bästa MMA-fightern i sin viktklass river Floyd har aldrig sett honom träna. Vad skulle den här killen kunna göra med ett par tune-up fights och en titeltilt? Vad sägs om 9 månader av hård träning i nedtagning och inlämningsförsvar?

 

Alla och deras bror som kan något om MMA bestämmer sig för att använda argumentet från alla tidigare boxare som misslyckades på MMA. De påminner oss alla om freakshow-kampen där Randy Couture lätt besegrade James Toney. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. är inte bara på en annan nivå än vad James Toney var när han fick chansen att slåss i buren, han är på en annan planet.

 

 

Floyd har råd med de bästa tränarna, det bästa av allt egentligen i förberedelserna för att gå in i UFC Octagon. Han kommer inte att spara några kostnader i ekonomi och svett kapital för att cementera sitt arv som den bästa crossover-fightern i boxnings- och MMA-rivalitetens historia. Vem har de bästa riktiga idrottarna? Mayweather representerar boxningens bästa, och han har inte mycket tid kvar att bevisa att en boxare i världsklass kan dominera MMA-scenen med rätt tillvägagångssätt och strategi.

 

 

 

McGregor bevisade att han kunde ge Floyd några pass i boxningsringen, men på den tredje kampen in i ett UFC-kontrakt kan den matchen hända igen i buren. Floyd måste bara visa att han hör hemma, men det första steget är att ha modet att backa upp sina ord med handlingar. Han sa på boxningspressturnén för McGregor-kampen att när han slog McGregor i sitt eget hantverk, han skulle gå till UFC och slå Conor i buren, alltför.

 

 

 

Jag räknar med en “Shark Tank” typ av förhandling mellan Mayweather och UFC:s president Dana White. Floyd kommer att behöva få en del av själva befordran, tillgång till en vild mängd sponsorpengar, alternativ att samla på medieintäkter, och åtminstone $10 miljoner per kamp i bara grundlön. För att få det miljardkontrakt han föreställer sig, advokaterna kommer att stryka ut detaljerna så länge Floyd bestämmer sig för att han behöver träna för sin första kamp.

 

Floyd kunde lätt håva in $90+ miljoner i sponsring och medieintäkter att tjäna $100 miljoner per kamp med Showtime-chefer i sitt hörn och en förtrogenhet med att stå framför kamerorna. En femkampsaffär betyder att det finns en 1/2 miljarder dollar gap om jag inte underskattar hur mycket UFC skulle ge Floyd för grundlön. Även om han gör det $200 miljoner per kamp, resten skulle behöva komma ut ur det övergripande företaget självt som eget kapital, vilket är vad Conor McGregor har bett om.

 

Floyd har bara en större uppsida att vara ägare/partner och skulle vara en stor tillgång när det kommer till att UFC vill främja boxning någon gång. Han kan också ta med sina fans och alla som vill se honom bli piskad och skolad i den nya disciplinen. Han tar med sig ögonglober, extrem uppmärksamhet och pengar med honom vart han än går. Vid en $5 miljarder värdering, UFC skulle sannolikt kunna ta del av en tioprocentig del av befordran för att få Mayweather officiellt ombord och få honom inlåst för ett långsiktigt avtal.

 

 

Det andra området som Floyd kan ha en enorm inverkan på är att locka fler boxare att gå över till MMA. Vi har sett fotbollsspelare som Matt Mitrione och Greg Hardy uppleva praktiskt taget omedelbar framgång i MMA, så varför inte en boxare i världsklass som Floyd? 19-0 Proffsboxaren Gervonta Davis antyder redan att följa sin skyddsling Floyd till MMA och säger han väntar bara på Dana Whites telefonsamtal. Sedan finns det tungviktsboxarna att tänka på att ta med sig in i buren, och Ordmästare Anthony Joshua är angelägen om att ge det en chans, alltför.

 

 

 

Så, oddsen är höga att Mayweather kliver in i buren för att tävla i december i år om du tror på en av hans mest kontroversiella videor hittills i ämnet:

 

 

Mayweather kan bli en otrolig MMA-fighter om han får halva chansen. Han är inte en man som tar lätt på en utmaning som denna. Han kommer att ha bästa möjliga tillvägagångssätt för att komma i cagefighting-form. Han kommer att få tillbaka alla typer av intresse för boxning vs. MMA-debatt och kan faktiskt till och med inspirera till en helt ny fas i den debatten. Kampsportvärlden som helhet kommer att gynnas om Floyd och UFC kan få detta partnerskap att fungera.

 

 

När det gäller de som tror att Floyd kommer att bli uppäten levande, de har verkligen rätt till sin åsikt, men använd inte McGregors misslyckande med att anpassa sig till boxning som din bar för Floyd. Mayweather kommer inte att ta sig an en MMA-fighter i världsklass första gången han kliver i buren. Han kommer inte att ta in MMA-motsvarigheten till Paulie Malignaggi för att få fart på sporten. Han kommer inte att spara några kostnader för att få bästa möjliga förberedelser. Han visar redan att det är sant genom att ta Tyron Woodley som sin officiella träningspartner. Han kommer att handplocka sin första motståndare och troligen inte få någon crack på en titel förrän två eller tre slagsmål går hans väg.

 

Kritiker av människor som tror att de kan dyka upp till ett MMA-gym och komma ut om sex veckor på UFC-nivå kommer att kalla mig galen, men Floyd är verkligen en fantastisk atlet som kan tysta sina tvivlare, och han blir inte yngre. Det är nu eller aldrig för att lösa frågan om vilken sport som verkligen är bättre på att skapa den ideala fightern.

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

Lämna en kommentar

 

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 Torsdag, Maj 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. I 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. I 2011, the United States defeated World Champion Russia, 5-2, the first sports event ever held in historic Times Square. I 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. I 2014, Team USA defeated a World All-Star Team in Times Square, 8-3. I 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. I 2017, the US met Iran in a dual meet in Times Square as a preview to the 2016 OLYMPISKA SPELEN. Slutligen, förra året, 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. I 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 eller 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, engagemang, 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.
