Probably one of the biggest sporting events of the century will be without two of the sports worlds most notable journalists tonight. It’s been reported that ESPN’s Michelle Beadle and CNN’s Rachel Nichols have had their media credentials revoked for the Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao tonight from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The ban was initiated reportedly by Floyd Mayweather’s camp probably because they’re females and you can’t have too many of those types around to muck up a prize-fight featuring a women beater. However the more notable reason for Beadle and Nichols having their credentials revoked is probably because of their firm stances against domestic violence in the past. This includes Beadles very public criticism of Mayweather’s domestic violence history in the past and Nichols’ grilling of the fighter during an interview last fall.

I guess something like this though is exactly what you would expect from a complete coward like Mayweather. What continues to be surprising though is Showtime continuing gloss over Mayweather’s questionable past while continuing to promote some asinine agenda that he’s actually some kind good and misunderstood public figure.

Meanwhile the denials have come in regarding Beadle and Nichols ban.

I guess it’s kind of perplexing why two well-respected members of the sports media would make this sort of thing up though…
