Michelle Beadle Renounces WWE for Its Support of Floyd Mayweather

Michelle Beadle is currently one of the hosts of SportsNation over at ESPN2 and one of the more popular personalities on the network.

She’s been outspoken in the past about her love for World Wrestling Entertainment and wrestling as a whole. Unfortunately, that fandom (specifically for WWE) may be on its last leg.

Following the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao boxing match on May 2, WWE COO Triple H tweeted out his support for Mayweather after his dominating performance:

.@FloydMayweather WOW….. Just WOW. Masterful !!!!! #TMT #TBE #48and0 Congratulations

— Triple H (@TripleH) May 3, 2015

Mayweather has a history of being abusive and violent, which includes two previous domestic abuse charges. Beadle was not happy with the way Triple H openly praised a “serial abuser” on Twitter:

I’ve loved @WWE for a long time. But @TripleH and his love for a serial abuser is too much. I’m turning in my fan card. #WasFunWhileItLasted

It was reported earlier that day that Beadle had been denied credentials for the fight by Mayweather’s camp after they learned about Beadle publicly bashing Floyd for his history of violence against women.

Editor’s Note

I’ve always respected Beadle for standing up for what she believes in. This case is no different. Her, along with several others in the media, have expressed how they feel about Mayweather’s dark past and how we continue to shine a spotlight on him. With all of that negativity surrounding him, perhaps Triple H should have kept his tweets to himself and not said anything.
