She's saying it's just a clerical error, not banned at all never were but HBO is saying it cleared up the problem late last night but then they were removed from list again this morning

What's BS?

[Godzuki]

mayweather always shows why you never let the inmates run the asylum if you care about the sport. he regularly makes a mockery out of boxing, even if boxing has been a joke since forever.

Banning reporters from the fight because they write a story you don't like...

it's what reporters do, they report the news good and bad... no reason to get your undies in a bundle because you don't like what they wrote.. it's fine if you don't want to grant them an interview but banning them from the entire event is bad for the sport, bad for business...

[Hit_Em]

Beadle is such an attention whore :roll: no shock she tries to get attention from the biggest fight ever

[alenleomessi]

beadle is kinda hot.. am i weird?

Didn't she just tell the public to don't buy his fight.

What did they get? Re-credentialed? Extra attention paid to their issues with Mayweather and domestic violence? They didn't lose at all, Mayweather's people screwed up and then scrambled to cover their asses.

They're obviously not there to cover the fight that's for sure.Banning them was a mistake, a fact that Mayweather's people realized too late. Mayweather's camp wants as little attention paid to the DV arrests as possible. It will never go away completely so the smart thing to do is let Beadle, Nichols, and whoever else snipe and just ignore it. By banning them they make people ask why they were banned and then the issue getsw more attention.

[oh the horror]

Bullshit



I know that. Was just a bit unclear on what he felt was BS.



But this is Floyd we are talking about. Dude has always been sensitive so I'm not surprised he'd do this

I'm surprised nobody could talk him down from it tho. I've gotta imagine they have a pretty experienced and savvy PR team that gets paid a lot of money to avoid a mistake like this.

True.

[LJJ]

Really beyond Mayweather and his "camp", I don't think the Pac camp and all the other organizers are too thrilled about some harpy screaming everywhere people should boycott the fight either. I doubt the fighters are personally involved this short before the fight, but if I'm organizing an event I'm not letting the people who are campaigning to ruin and boycott the event inside either, it's a private venue and this is just common sense really.

And if she's telling everyone to boycott the fight why is she even trying to attend? Why is she providing coverage of the fight and more publicity? The hypocrisy is outstanding.

Beadle and Nichols have probed Mayweather about the domestic violence issues. That's the reason why Mayweather doesn't want them there. People are supporting Beadle and Nichols for being banned from a fight because Mayweather doesn't like that they ask questions about him being a woman beater. Then you call those people sheep. I can't believe I actually have to break it down step by step for your dumb ass to comprehend. You're ALMOST as stupid as Jameer. The only reason why you're not is because Jameer is a dumb ass kid and he doesn't know any better.

Update (1:49 p.m.): Kelly Swanson (Mayweather camp) is denying the above reports, while it appears another reporter who has covered Mayweather’s domestic violence past, Martin Rogers, has also had his credential denied.

Update (2:45 p.m.): HBO says Mayweather publicist Kelly Swanson isn’t telling the truth, as the network does not have the authority to issue its own credentials.

Update (3:30 p.m.): Michelle Beadle says she has emails proving Mayweather revoked her credentials to cover the fight. ESPN has no say in the matter, as Beadle was in attendance working for HBO.

I dont think its backing the decision to understand it. Why would anyone want people who hate them getting free multi thousand dollar seats to watch them then go home and write about how awful it was/you are?

You book a venue to do business....the company booking it exists for the sole purpose of promoting you and this fight...

Why would you invite people telling others not to watch it?

That its a bad PR move doesnt change that its also human nature.

How much shit am I supposed to take from you and still exend you invites to the most exclusive event in sports for free? Why do I do you that favor when you hate me?

Not like it beng their job means they actually have to go. They would make a much mroe powerful statement by getting allowed in...and refusing.

No media company comes down on them for not attending an event on moral ground. ESPN/HBO wouldnt have the balls.

Exactly. This is common sense akin to banning the KKK from your anti-racism event. This is like Sony not inviting ThePirateBay to their music release party.

How can you campaign to boycott an event and then whine when they deny you the courtesy of attending? The audacity.

[ArbitraryWater]

Its not just okay its the perfect time to draw attention to it.

Saying they should respect floyd and his big fight?

And you are surprised he doesn't want to deal with that shit?

I haven't even said anything about them respecting Floyd and the fight... they better respect the fight because they desperately want to get in and see it, even though they clearly aren't interested too much in Floyd. They don't need to respect Floyd as a person, Floyd is a woman beater, but respect him as businessman, as fighter, and don't bring any dumb distractions.

What's really dumb is they issued them credentials, let them report on everything for a week with full access including the weigh in last night and then pulled them.

[Jailblazers7]

I completely understand why TMT would want them banned but doing it last second seems like a poor way to handle it. Then again, doing it earlier would concede a larger discussion of domestic violence in the time leading up to this weekend. I just think they made it a bigger story than it would be which was stupid. The spotlight shining directly on the topic now instead of existing on the fringes.

Sure, Beadle is a hypocrite for going but she's accomplished her goal of drawing attention to Floyd's arrests because of it.

I get why they were banned, but I don't get why some of you seem to be so mad at them?

[KingBeasley08]

Not a fan of Mayweather but he's the draw here. ESPN is irrelevant here. I don't mind Floyd's decision to ban them. If someone were to talk shit about a party I was hosting and was tryna get ppl to not come, and then they try to sneak in later.. I'd kick em out too

[Mayweather]

Fair enough. So lets be consistent here. They were allowed to cover the fight up till now. They promoted the fight regardless as even negative publicity brings attention to the fight itself. So are we living in a world where we ban people we don't agree with? Is this still America?

Ultimately, if they feel so strongly, why did the TMT PR Kelly Swanson backtracked and said it was a misunderstanding?

If we're talking about someone's private party, then sure, I'd completely agree. This is not a private event. This is a world wide sporting event.

If TMT banned them two from a private victory celebration after the fight, I could care less.

[oh the horror]

I'm not mad at them at all. I just think they're wolves like most of the media in this country. I never buy the whole "we are crusading for the greater good" act these types tend to throw out there. It makes for a story though.

Mayweather is the promoter so it is someone his event.

[RedBlackAttack]

And if they were kicked out of an event that they have every right to go to, especially for their job as sports reporters, that's bull.
They don't have "every right" to be there. I've been a sports reporter. I couldn't just cover any event that I wanted to attend and automatically get a press pass. You apply for credentials. Sometimes you get them and sometimes you don't. I've even had to clear what my story was through the person running the event before they'd clear me.

If every reporter who wanted to cover this event was given clearance, there would be no room for the fans.

Much ado about nothing. Frankly, I think taking this public was a completely unprofessional move by Beadle and Nichols. There is a process involved in being cleared for an event. You have to be approved. If they weren't, then tough sh!t. Nobody is entitled to cover this fight in-person and in the pre-determined media section.

Bitch is still running her damn mouth
The two biggest loudmouth bitches of our time. Can either of them rap? I know Diddy was in attendance, maybe he and Suge Knight can work something out.

She seems so salty :lol

She intentionally sets herself up. She's a huge attention whore. She's a ****ing whore and should be demonized and kicked off tv.

[KingBeasley08]

Nah she's pretty entertaining and probably one of the better ESPN personalities. She just acts annoying as fck on twitter and starts attention whoring like you said online

She's a terrible fake ass Spurs fan. I don't want this woman on TV with little girls looking up to her to learn to be a loudmouth bitch. She needs to GTFO

Floyd hit a few women, we get it.

Shit like this makes me wonder sometimes...do these women just sit on their phones all night and tweet? Do they not have anything going on in their lives that is more important?

Seems like they're just looking for attention. People already know he's been convicted of assault. He's paid for it each time. It's like bringing up the dog fighting scandal every time Vick plays. It's old and tired. He was convicted and paid for it by what society seemed acceptable.

She's ridiculously sexy though:

We're talking women, not girls. Look at her thighs in the last pic... That's a ripe booty.

Don't be mad I know you don't get it

[ArbitraryWater]

Can't read her twitter since she blocked me, so was she at the fight or not?

[Meticode]

Rachel Nichols lays the hammer down on Twitter against Mayweather. :oldlol:

[plowking]

Pretty sure they care way more about domestic violence than a boxing match

And his decision to ban them just brough more attention so clearly it wasnt the right decision on any grounds

Interesting how you don't have a problem when this is brought up with Mayweather, but you throw a hissy fit in the NBA thread whenever Kobe's rape case is brought up.

Whatever though.

I know its a foreign idea to you, but most men like women that are legal age adults.

[IcanzIIravor]

:facepalm

I prefer your all anime porn days over this current hate of all women phase.

Well Kobe didn't rape nobody and Mayweather has beaten several women so...

[Lakers Legend#32]

So this is what Floyd does when he just can't beat them up.
