Yeah those tweets are from Mayweather's publicist and seem like obvious spin. Rachel Nichols would not make a stink if her press credential wasn't revoked.Kelly Swanson @kellyswanson1 2h2 hours ago
No one including ME banned @Rachel__Nichols from covering the fight. She is already credentialed. #Facts

And @MichelleDBeadle isn't even on the press list. She's credentialed through @HBOboxing. Yes credentialed. #Fact#2

If actually think Mayweather did nothing wrong here I am shocked. His camp wanted to punish Beadle and Nichols because they call him the POS he is for he treats women.Beadle said her credential was ok

Why not. Its not politics. Its a sporting event. His deal said he has control over credentials. He made a choice. I have no problem with it, it just reaffirms who he is as a person.Yeah you don't not credential someone because you don't like what they say about you. Pretty much the most cowardly move you can pull. Other than beatign your wife.

Does he have a past, yes, but this sensationalist, opportunistic reporting has gone over the top. A bunch of reporters using a big event to further their spotlight by re-hashing old issues that have been discussed ad nauseum at the time they happened.
The one that I kept hearing over and over again was where he allegedly beat his ex-fiancée. By beat, Gloria Allred says Mayweather twisted her arm, choked her and pointed a gun at her foot. Never mentioned is that the woman in question, allegedly, aborted Floyd's twins behind his back. Not saying that excuses the alleged actions but lets not act like we all know what actually went on in that relationship.

Now, I did not read what was written/reported about him by these folks, but if it was complaining whining stuff about why is he allowed to fight and make this money, then good for him. He paid his debt. If ESPN was REALLY, REALLY against DV, they would not have covered the fight. If HBO etc or whoever did the PPV was against DV, it would not have televised the fight. If the MGM Grand was against DV, it would not have hosted the fight.
Well, if someone had access to you at your job, and was publicly saying negative things about you, even if true, would you provide him or her continuing access?By which you mean he is a coward, or something else?
He does have control over the media at his event; to deny people access because of what they said (especially considering he's a wife beater, but thats really beside the point) is beyond weak. But not surprising.
There's no question there are a lot of hypocrites involved in this.
