Description
A titan of our industry, Ross Greenburg walked into HBO in 1978 as a green 23 year old and walked out the door 33 years later with over 50 Emmy Awards and 8 Peabodys. Greenburg’s vision reinvented the sports documentary genre and he also created shows like Real Sports, Hard Knocks and 24/7. Ross will undoubtedly find himself inducted into the Broadcast Hall of Fame…
Ross walks us through his journey from playing sports with Frank Gifford’s son as a kid to negotiating contracts for Mike Tyson with Don King. We talk about Real Sports, Hard Knocks, 24/7 and all of the franchises he helped establish at HBO Sports. Ross tells us why he left HBO and explains what project he is working with them on now. You will learn a lot on this episode of Beyond the Lens presented by Diesel Films.
