Patrick Mahomes Sr. vs. John Rocker Boxing Match Canceled After Family Intervention

Dave Portnoy claims Patrick Mahomes II and his wife Brittany pressured Mahomes Sr. to withdraw from the Barstool Sports-promoted fight.

The planned boxing match between Patrick Mahomes Sr. and John Rocker, scheduled for April 18, has been officially canceled.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy alleges that Patrick Mahomes II and his wife, Brittany, intervened to stop the fight, threatening to cut ties with Mahomes Sr. if he participated.
The fight was initially conceived after a staged altercation between Mahomes Sr. and Rocker during Super Bowl week in New Orleans to generate publicity.
Court documents reveal Mahomes Sr. was set to earn at least $85,000 for the fight, with additional earnings possible through pay-per-view revenue.
The feud between the two former MLB players stems from their time as rivals in the late 1990s, with tensions reignited by recent social media exchanges.
