Rocker Blames Mahomes Family for Fight Cancellation

Former MLB pitcher John Rocker publicly blamed NFL star Patrick Mahomes II and his wife Brittany for the cancellation of a planned celebrity boxing match with Mahomes' father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., which was promoted by Barstool Sports. The fight was initially hyped by a staged altercation between Rocker and Mahomes Sr. during Super Bowl week, later revealed in court documents to be orchestrated for publicity. Both Barstool founder Dave Portnoy and court filings indicate the Mahomes family intervened to stop the fight due to concerns about their public image. Despite Rocker's accusations on social media, the Mahomes family has not responded, with Brittany instead posting family vacation photos online. Mahomes Sr. was reportedly set to earn at least $85,000 from the event, but has since focused on other ventures.
