Patrick Mahomes Challenged for a Fight on ‘Live TV’ as Royals’ Vinnie Pasquantino Calls Out Bobby Witt Jr.

The cage fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg was all the rage some time ago. Now, an MLB star is challenging an NFL star to a fight! Yes, Vinnie Pasquantino wants to face Patrick Mahomes. But how did this challenge even come about? Well, it all transpired during the latest KC Royals game when the first baseman, Pasquantino, was on the sidelines bantering. What did he say?

There’s no doubt that Mahomes is the star of Kansas City and he is dabbling in everything KC. That includes the KC Royals. Pasquantino said, “There are two people in Kansas City I don’t think you’re allowed to fight — Patrick Mahomes and Bobby Witt Jr. … But I’ll do it on live TV right now if I have to.”

This came as a response to the commentator telling him, “You wanted to fight Bobby Witt Jr.” Apparently, Bob kept throwing stuff at Pasquantino. “Bob, if you don’t stop throwing stuff at me, we’re going to have fight in the dugout.” But that has extended to Mahomes as well.

Back in 2020, Mahomes became a part-owner of the team. After all, he is the son of former major league pitcher Pat Mahomes, who pitched in more than 300 big league games. In fact, Patrick Mahomes was once a baseball prospect and was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 2014. Now, the player has more Super Bowl victories than the Detroit Lions.

While he may not play professional baseball anymore, he is surely a big fan of the sport and keeps himself updated on the latest happenings.

Patrick Mahomes congratulates Bob Witt Jr.

The sports landscape in Western Missouri just got wealthier. Patrick Mahomes is no longer the sole titan of the turf and the owner of a mammoth contract. Mahomes had signed a $450 million worth contract in 2020. He had set the record for any Kansas City player across all sports. Now Bobby Witt Jr. has stepped into the limelight, securing a hefty contract extension.

Bob Witt Jr. recently signed a $288.7 million contract that will extend to 11 years. Sure, it’s almost half to that of Mahomes, but it’s still a big deal. And the NFL QB wasted no time in congratulating him on X. “LETS GOOO!! Congrats my man!!!” Mahomes wrote. His contract includes a $7.777 million signing bonus, plus opt-outs after years seven, eight, nine, and ten. If he doesn’t opt-out and makes it to year 11, the team will have a three-year option for $89 million.

Now, Mahomes currently owns a tiny 1% of the KC Royals. And should the team do well, his investment is bound to go up. With Witt and Mahomes now the beacons of Kansas City’s athletic ambition, they’re definitely going to inspire more players. Now all that’s left for Witt Jr. is to win the World Series; just like Mahomes won the Lombardi.
