Brittany Mahomes’ Intervention Nixes Epic Mahomes-Rocker Boxing Match
In a plot twist that could rival a reality TV show, it looks like the highly anticipated boxing match between Patrick Mahomes Sr. and former MLB pitcher John Rocker is officially off the table, thanks in no small part to Brittany Mahomes. During a recent appearance on “The Unnamed Show,” Barstool Sports boss Dave Portnoy dropped the bombshell, claiming that Brittany and Patrick Mahomes II’s agent took action to squash the fight before it could even go down. Portnoy made it clear that this was no wild idea from his team—this matchup was actually pitched by Mahomes Sr. and Rocker themselves, both eager to settle their apparent animosity in the ring.
Documents secured by TMZ revealed that Mahomes Sr. had already inked a deal to face off against Rocker in April, with the promise of raking in at least $85,000 for his efforts. But just days after the announcement, the intervention from the Mahomes camp led to a swift cancellation. Portnoy expressed his frustration, saying, “They came to us to do this. How would we ever come up with this concept?” This ain’t your typical sports event; it had all the makings of a spectacle that would draw massive attention.
Yet, this drama isn’t just about a canceled boxing match. It poses broader questions about celebrity culture and the influence of family on personal decisions. Brittany Mahomes’ protective instincts over her family have raised eyebrows and sparked discussions on social media about whether individuals involved in high-stakes lifestyles should have the freedom to pursue unconventional endeavors, like celebrity boxing matches.
As of now, neither Mahomes Sr. nor Rocker has publicly weighed in on the cancellation. But if Rocker’s history of outspoken opinions on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) suggests anything, we can expect a fiery response soon. For fans of both figures, this missed opportunity leaves a real void and a challenge for Portnoy, who clearly had his sights set on a sensational showdown. Will we ever see Mahomes Sr. and Rocker step into the ring? Only time will tell, but for now, this story is a bust.
