Michelle Beadle on Floyd Mayweather credential ban: They’re lying
Michelle Beadle and Rachel Nichols made headlines Saturday for saying they had been denied credentials for the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao fight, something Mayweather’s promoters have denied.
“There are emails,” Beadle said to Sports Illustrated. “They lie. It’s their job. But I was banned.”
Nichols later said on Twitter that while she received media access to cover events leading up to the fight, she was denied credentials to attend the actual fight.
