Floyd Mayweather to compete at Wrestlemania.

[SweetPea]

Man you people that say you lost respect for him, you're crazy. This is a great oppertunity for him to take yet another step towards making himself a household name. Wrestlemania is like the superbowl of pro wrestling, he's going to introduce himself to a LARGE group of people, just like he did with Dancing with the Stars. 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.

i hear hes taking on the winner of this matchup....

LMAO!!!!!!

Thanks for making me laugh!!

I wouldn't be surprised if one of these guys were his next opponent.

At least today Its looked upon as an oppurtunity, Louis wrestled ....for all of the f!!!!! up wrong reasons. Damn Fed's !

Floyd talks alot but He Is a smart buisness man.Great set-up marketing.Mcmahons no dummy either.

Look at Floyd acting right now.Surprised Floyd would risk his hands ,I think It was that last L.Hook right on the end. Floyd go's comic book on us Lol.

[THE THIRD MAN]

The Big Show looked seriously pissed off! I don't think PBF was supposed to connect as well as he did!

No doubt...That left looked like an extra. Floyd tucked last two fingers on right and Big Slow basically rolled with them up until the Left hook...POW.

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

[No Contest]

Lol the old fake blood capsules...I remember seeing bloody fights in wrestling when I was a kid where the guys face was covered in red, but for the life of me I couldnt find any cuts or gashes on them.....they always bled out of their hairlines.....

[Julius Rain]

Good for him having his fingers in different pies









i hear hes taking on the winner of this matchup....

[Pugilistic]

the blood is almost always real, they blade usually right above the eye borw cuz it leads to less scaring

[AdamGB]

Lol... come on Sal...

[Baby-Faced-Assassin]

He did actually brake his nose lol

[Muzzo]

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

[Cortez The Killer]

Good publicity this guy culd be huger than delahoya if he continues like this.

I agree, I think people are missing the point that this is all about publicity.

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.
