Floyd Mayweather and his camp are flexing their power today in Las Vegas by blocking the media credentials of ESPN’s Michelle Beadle and CNN’s Rachel Nichols from entering the arena for the biggest fight in history. The reason? Both of these reporters have been very critical of Floyd’s past involving domestic violence. As you may know, Floyd has been accused several times of hitting women in his life, and while it seems one of those instances was true, the other’s remain to be proven as fact. Now before you go thinking Floyd is terrible for doing this, there are other factors to remember as well.

People must have forgot that Mike Tyson still has it inside of him to turn into “Iron Mike” at anytime and a fan found that out yesterday at the Mayweather/Pacquiao weigh in. Tyson is a much more relaxed, easy going type of guy now, but it is very clear at the drop of a hat he can still snap. This fan who tried to take a pic and put his arm around Tyson without asking him is lucky he only got elbowed and didn’t get his head knocked off.
