Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has announced that Mahomes and Rocker will face off in a boxing match.

Portnoy made it known that Barstool-owned fighting ring Rough N Rowdy would host the contest between the two.

The beef stems from a squabble on Bourbon Street where Mahomes and Rocker got heated in public.

Rocker attempted to shake Mahomes’ hand, but it was smacked away, setting off an argument.

The two shouted insults at each other, with Mahomes calling Rocker a “menace to society.”

With the location of the original scuffle in mind, Portnoy titled the bout the “Beef on Bourbon Street,” and announced it would headline the Rough N Rowdy’s card on April 18.

“I guess they f***ing hated each other since their playing days, baseball,” Portnoy said on social media.

“I mean, I guess not surprising. Everyone has beef with John Rocker.

“But they signed the f***ing paperwork.”

Portnoy also took a moment to call out the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback for his hatred of Barstool.

“Well, now your dad’s fighting in our company against John Rocker,” Portnoy said.

“So I’ll save a seat. Free of charge.”

Rocker is already talking smack on social media, and is claiming that people close to Mahomes are trying to convince him to pull out of the fight.

“Hearing Pat Mahomes Jr’s team of woke suits is trying to dissuade Pat Sr from fighting me,” he wrote.

“Why don’t we sweeten the pot. I will put a percentage of my purse towards a charity my X followers choose.

“Mahomes Sr will put a percentage of his purse towards his sons charity.”

If the fight does go on, it probably won’t be the best boxing anyone has ever viewed.

Both Mahomes and Rocker are 50-year-old men and well past their playing days.

The condition of the two men has led some to believe that the altercation on Bourbon Street was staged to promote the fight, but Portnoy is ensuring that isn’t the case.

“It’s honestly insane to insinuate that we would stage a fight on Bourban Street to promote a fight that was announced a couple days later,” he said.
