‘That’s Not True’: Floyd Mayweather Blasts ESPN Reporter

Floyd Mayweather opened up against ESPN’s reporter, Mike Coppinger over his reporting on the highly anticipated boxing contest between Terence Crawford, and Errol Spence Jr.

Big media houses like ESPN are the most trusted source of information regarding updates in the sports world. In recent weeks, Mike Coppinger reported that the unified heavyweight champ, Errol Spence Jr, and Terence Crawford, have agreed to all material terms for an undisputed welterweight title fight. He even mentioned the exact venue and date for this showdown.

According to him, the event will take place on November 19, in Las Vegas. However, he clarified due to legal disagreement, the deal was yet to be signed.

With regards to this matter, when Coppinger reported it on Twitter, he faced Mayweather’s backlash. The former five-weight division champ questioned it.

He wrote, “@espn you guys are a great company and have held a great reputation for years but @mikecoppinger has to stop with feeding the boxing world with false information.”

What did Mike Coppinger reply to Floyd Mayweather while advocating his reporting?

In his favor, Coppinger told the richest boxer to focus on that part which emphasised that the deal was yet to be signed. While mentioning this, he took Crawford on his target as well, for not having transparency in the entire drama.

Thereafter, Mayweather darted back at the journalist and wrote, “@mikecoppinger that’s not true, and if what you’re saying is true, please produce paperwork because we can’t go by ‘hear say.”

Later on, during an interview with FightHype, Mayweather made it clear that this fight will most likely not be happening in November. According to him, if that was the case then, the promotion of such a huge event would have already started by now. Fans would have witnessed press conferences, posters, and many related things ahead.

Six weeks to the fight and nothing posted from both the fighters suggest that this fight would not take place soon. What do you think of Mayweather’s stand? Let us know in the comments below.
