Patrick Mahomes Sr has signed a contract with Barstool Sports to fight ex-MLB star John Rocker at Rough N’ Rowdy, Dave Portnoy has sensationally confirmed to DailyMail.com.
Ex-major league pitcher Mahomes Sr has endured a difficult few years with multiple DWI arrests, and his life is now set to take another bizarre twist as he returns to the sporting arena.
On the weekend that Mahomes’ son Patrick plays in the Super Bowl, Barstool founder Dave Portnoy exclusively revealed in New Orleans that the 54-year-old has signed a contract to fight at the next Rough N’ Rowdy.
When asked to confirm whether the rumor of Mahomes Sr fighting was true, Portnoy said: ‘That’s a factual rumor.’ He was then quizzed on Rocker, adding: ‘Yeah, so you’re on it with your rumors.’
He was then asked if the fight was official, revealing: ‘I don’t know, that’s why I don’t want it to get ripped up. I think it is! I believe we have a signed agreement for Mahomes Sr to fight John Rocker at Rough N Rowdy.

Mahomes Sr was arrested for driving while intoxicated back in February last year in Texas
‘I think it’s 100%, but I haven’t seen the signed paperwork yet.’
Mahomes Sr last played baseball in 2003 for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but in recent times has hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
He was arrested for driving while intoxicated in 2008, 2019 and 2024, and last year was banned from driving after being found on the roads without a valid license.
He spent 10 days in jail and is now under ‘intense supervision’ in his first year of probation.
This week he is in New Orleans to watch his son Patrick and the Chiefs aim for a Super Bowl three-peat against the Philadelphia Eagles.

He was spotted in a casino in the city on Thursday night, alongside his ex-wife Randi and his son Jackson, who himself has been embroiled in legal issues.
In March last year, Jackson was sentenced to six months’ probation after pleading guilty to battery of a waiter at a Kansas restaurant in February 2023.
In the case, more serious charges of aggravated sexual battery were dropped after the alleged victim – the owner of the restaurant – failed to cooperate and refused to testify in the case.
The woman later reported that she had endured death threats and had her restaurant vandalized. In August 2023, she closed the restaurant.
