Sat Apr 19 10:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Rocker Slams Mahomes Family After Father’s Cancelled Boxing Match
**Kansas City, MO** – Former MLB pitcher John Rocker unleashed a scathing attack on Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, following the cancellation of a planned boxing match between Rocker and Patrick Mahomes Sr. Rocker, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), accused the Mahomes family of interfering to prevent the fight, calling them “a bunch of f—king woke liberals” and claiming Patrick Sr. backed out “like a little b—tch.”
The fight, part of Barstool Sports’ Rough N’ Rowdy promotion, was canceled after what Barstool founder Dave Portnoy described as intervention from Mahomes’ agent and Brittany Mahomes. Portnoy stated that they deemed the fight a “bad look” for the family.
The feud stems from a heated encounter between Rocker and Patrick Mahomes Sr. during Super Bowl week in February. Court documents obtained by TMZ later revealed this altercation was staged to generate publicity for the boxing match, which was originally scheduled for April 2025. This revelation followed a previous arrest of Patrick Mahomes Sr. on a third DWI charge just days before Super Bowl 2024.
Rocker’s post ignited a firestorm of reactions on X, with some users criticizing Rocker’s language and others expressing opinions on the hypothetical fight outcome. Meanwhile, the Mahomes family appears unfazed, recently sharing idyllic photos from a Disney World vacation, showcasing a seemingly carefree family trip with children and friends.
Patrick Mahomes has previously praised his wife Brittany for her vital role in his success both on and off the field, highlighting her support in his personal and professional life. The couple, married since 2022, continues to enjoy family life with their three children.
