It's being billed as "The Best vs the Biggest." Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather will face WWE's Paul "Big Show" Wight at "WrestleMania XXIV" on March 30 in Orlando, Florida.
Even though the 7-foot-plus Wight outweighs "Money" Mayweather by more than 300 pounds, the boxing champ is getting 50 Cent to accompany him to the ring. The boxer came out to the sound of 50's "I Get Money" during a verbal confrontation with the Big Show two weeks ago.
As you might remember, 50 rapped "I Get Money" while escorting Mayweather to the ring before the much-hyped Mayweather vs. Oscar De La Hoya match last summer.
Monday night on "WWE Raw," the pugilist appeared via satellite and told the Big Show, "I'm willing to die at "WrestleMania"! Are you?" He also promised to break the giant's jaw during their face-off.
Mayweather and the Big Show had their first confrontation last month during WWE's pay-per-view special "No Way Out." After getting on his knees to let the much smaller Mayweather take a free hit, the Show's nose was broken in a Floyd flurry.
Mayweather is being paid a reported $20 million for his participation in "WrestleMania."
WWE has announced that John Legend will be starting off "Wrestlemania" singing "American The Beautiful," and, also on the 30th, Snoop Dogg will be the master of ceremonies for the all-female throwdown of WWE Divas billed as the "BunnyMania Lumberjack Match."
Help me understand when hip-hop got into wrestling. I must have been on vacation at that time.
