3. Underlying Social Media Commentary

Some may feel this should be filed in the TMZ, Twitter beef wars file. However, because Mayweather has invited Jen Welter the first NFL female coach to be his guest at the fight and walk him out to the ring some controversy has arisen. Mayweather is no stranger to domestic violence and has been the subject of heavy criticism by the media, fellow pugilists and many advocacy groups which oppose domestic violence. Many of these folks have been vocal in their displeasure with Welter’s acceptance of Mayweather’s invitation. Although Welter has defended her decision, this story has some legs to it and doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. It would not be a total surprise for some mean tweets to arise prior to fight time.
