ESPN's Michelle Beadle and CNN's Rachel Nichols each announced via Twitter on Saturday afternoon that Floyd Mayweather's camp had blocked their credentials for Saturday night's prizefight at MGM Garden Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
"No fight for me or @MichelleDBeadle. Mayweather's team told my producer the camp was blocking my credential," Nichols tweeted, adding in an additional tweet a link to the interview she conducted with Mayweather in September 2014, in which she questioned him about his history of domestic violence.
