Rocker seems very displeased with Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, following the cancellation of his scheduled matchup with the football star's father, Patrick Mahomes Sr.

Rocker took to X to slam the couple amid speculations they had a hand in Patrick Sr. canceling the match.

"Today is the day I was supposed to fight Pat Mahomes Sr.," he wrote. "Instead of fighting today, he backed out like a little b-tch because his son and his loser wife decided it'd be a bad look to the family name for him to get in the ring."

"Bunch of f-cking woke liberals," he added. Rocker was initially slated to square off against Patrick Sr. as part of Barstool Sports' "Rough N' Rowdy" promotion.

Back in February, the pair were seen exchanging heated words in New Orleans during Super Bowl week as the Philadelphia Eagles beat Mahomes' team, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. Said His Altercation With John Rocker Was 'Staged'

The heated exchange between Patrick Sr. and Rocker seemingly got them into legal trouble, causing Patrick Sr. to reveal the truth.

When questioned by officials about the scuffle, Patrick Sr. said it "was a staged altercation to get publicity for [a] celebrity boxing match that was set to take place in April 2025," according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy announced the news of the fight's cancellation on the "Unnamed Show," where he hinted at the three-time Super Bowl champ's involvement.

"No, this fight is canceled," Portnoy said at the time. "Mahomes' agent — the football player — and Brittany, from what I am told, intervened and said, There's no way this fight happens; we're going to cut this guy off if he does it.'"

This isn't the first time he has had a run-in with the law. Patrick Sr. was previously arrested on a DWI charge for a third time. The incident transpired days before Mahomes and the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 2024 in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, several fans took to the comment section of Rocker's post to pen their dissatisfaction, while others shared their thoughts on what the outcome would have been if the fight had happened.

"Rocker is just as pathetic a loser as he was when he was insulting New York in the late 1990s; it's sad he needs to do stuff like this now," an X user wrote.

"Was your strategy to simply hurl a 100m/h fastball at him from across the ring? 'Get 'er done!' I'd pay money for that fight," a fan said.

"John, I'm with you on the dad, but I can assure you, Brittany Mahomes is no liberal," another user penned. "I know you are mad at the dad, but after all the drama with #15's brother, I can see their point."

"I actually agree. Getting KTFO is a bad look for the family name," one user penned.

"They just didn't want to have to attend a funeral. Rocked by Rocker, it would read on his Tombstone!" another person jokingly said about the cancelled fight.
