Mayweather Does WWE

[donnydarkoIRL]

You know on another level, how bad is this for boxing?

If Mayweather wins or is even highly competitive with the WWE's largest guy, how bad is it going to look when the people see Floyd's last fight was against 5'5'' Hatton or that he struggled with 154lbs De la Hoya

Wont be an issue, people see wrestling as pure entertainment and the pinnacle of athleticism.. Its an excellent opportunity for Floyd to showcase his quickness, speed, agility and athleticism. you'll be treated to see things from him that cant be displayed in a boxing ring

The young man has done well for himself and his career moves away from boxing

Can u imagine Floyd ko'ing big show and pinning him 123 that would be funny.

[donnydarkoIRL]

You know what would be hilarious?
Big Show turning up with Cotto LoL.

And JT is right Floyd is doing well, $20 mil is serious money!

This shit is scripted it's not like they are gonna have floyd jumping off a cage in some flaming spike pit match. The guy is making an appearance, not becoming a wrestler, he is in no way in danger. The guy played in the all star game and probably does a lot of so called dangerous stuff when not boxing. There is no way floyd or the wwe is gonna let him get injured. No difference than any other apperance in my opinion. And besides they are paying him 20 mill mainly for his name ( which is silly that some people say he doesn't have and that's what he's trying to get) not cause they think he would be a good wrestler. More than most ever get to be involved in a real fight. Sounds like a pretty smart idea to me. How many people in thier whole lifetime will ever be paid 20 mil to do anything.......especially fake fight when you actually fight for real for a living.

I mean anyone ever listen to Delahoyas crooning on his alblum or seen clips of Pac-Mans shitty action movies?

"Crooning"..."Shitty action movies"...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Eventhough I want to see Mayweather loose convincingly and all, I think he's doing some pretty good moves outside the ring. Promoting his name and reaching other people out there. Sure, people like Tyson, ODLH, Chavez, Ali, etc. Didn't need that, did they? The things they did in the ring were enough I guess.

I still don't get why Mayweather talks about money when ODLH has more than him and smartly invested. ODLH has an education, Mayweather doesn't (and it shows clearly, I know).

Saw Mayweather throwing money to the crowd on a WWE promotion, so cheesy. I guess if you don't have natural charisma you have to buy fans, right?

You realize the fights are scripted and rehearsed, right?

And the $20M figure is pretty clearly another piece of fiction intended to generate buzz. The actual dollars are probably more like low 7 figures, $2 to $5M or so. Still a nice bit of business and a good way for Floyd to increase his exposure.

i have a feeling they came out with the 20 million thing to generate publicity, i cant imagine they would pay him anything significant, i dont see how they benefit from using him, tho the management doesnt seem to know what its doing these days so maybe they think that the crowds full of 13 year old girls will somehow give a fuck about mayweather


it turns out the broken nose thing was a work, he didnt actually brake bog shows nose




also i dont think theres much of a chance for injury here, it will probably be more of a simulated sparring session without any impact maneuvers, i doubt hes gonna take any bumps, and it may even be a tag team match which could limit mayweathers time in the ring to like 3 minutes

[NUCLEAR BULL]

greed comes to mind, this is something he should maybe do once he finishs with boxing not now

[SalTheButcher]

Fantana Has Returned!?!??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!?

[Diane]

Just a question to keep the debate going - To all of you who are defending Floyd, would you be saying the same thing if it was Cotto, or De La Hoya announcing that they were going to be in Wrestlemania?

Answer honestly now.

[Fantana]

Fantana Has Returned!?!??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!?

It was the most talked about comeback ever and were not talking Lennox Lewis here.

[Magoo]

It'll only get really stupid of Oscar De La Hoya comes in and cracks him round the chops with a chair. Only for Mayweather to challenge him to a rematch in the boxing ring........ I have my suspicions but then I'm sceptical.

[Macho]

With all respect for all the Fans of WWE , but i dont know how the Fans can see a ficticious wrestling of Mayweather vs the Big guy, also he going earn $20 Millions for that show , in my opinion i dont spend my time in that thing ,that even have a sense.....You have to be a REAL,REAL ,REAL FANS for that thing .........
