And if people know who Floyd mayweather is, they're going to show more interest in seeing him fight. | Good post, glad to see someone here gets it. Right now, Floyd is doing a ton of stuff to market himself to a wider audience. Dancing with the Stars, playing in the celeb game at the NBA all-star weekend, now Wrestlemania.
This is all done because the more people know him, the more marketable he is as a fighter. If going on Wrestlemania gets some wrestling fans to order his next fight, then why would anyone here have a problem with that? The more people watching boxing, the better.
Give Floyd credit for marketing himself, unlike someone like Roy Jones, who spent his whole career blowing people off and therefore never achieving mainstream popularity. |

Honestly Imo, Having a rematch with Delahoya Is Bad enough...Now we sit through this 'Hype up'.NO WAY Floyd will take physical "falls" from Big Slow,Way to much to risk. |

i didnt see it but from what i read it seems like mayweather just doesnt know how to work a punch and for some reason threw it to the nose and broke big shows nose, they probably told him to make contact and make it look good, but i guess he didnt think to keep away from the nose

Punch Power: 207 | | Re: Floyd Mayweather to compete at Wrestlemania. A funny,interesting sidenote.....the wrestler Big Show who before this had been out of wrestling for a few months and during that time was rumoured to be wanting to make a career in boxing then,presumably deciding against it,returns and then gets his nose broken by Mayweather who's 5'8 and 150 lbs and there's Big Show...7'0 and 400lbs ish.....haha |

Wrestling fans also must purchase tickets or buy a PPV to watch the biggest events, just like in boxing. Introduce them to Mayweather, and you now have a group of people who are willing to shell out $50-$60 on a PPV that are now interested in PBF.
I have no interest in WWE/WWF whatever it is. But I'm interested to see how the Mayweather thing plays out. So wrestling gets cross over appeal too. | |
