Over the years, Rachel Nichols and ESPN's Michelle Beadle have been critical of Floyd Mayweather and his history of domestic violence. And rightfully so. A short while go, Nichols reminded all of us, posting a video of her interview with Floyd last year, where she repeatedly questioned him about his checkered past.

Apparently, Floyd hasn't forgotten because on the very day of the fight, Rachel was informed that her credential for Mayweather/Pacquiao has been blocked. By guess who?

No fight for me or @MichelleDBeadle. Mayweather's team told my producer the camp was blocking my credential. https://t.co/JTjjXadPp8
