Rappy Veteran Posted February 18, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 18, 2008 No rematch with Hatton then? We can confirm that boxing champion Floyd Joy Mayweather, Jr. is scheduled to be wrestling at WrestleMania 24, instead of standing at ringside or being a special guest referee. Reports are suggesting that he will most likely be involved in a tag-team match. Assuming Rey Mysterio will be healthy enough to wrestle at WrestleMania 24, he will be Mayweather?s tag-team partner and will go against The Big Show and a tag-team partner of his.Jason Powell of ProWrestling.net is reporting Vince McMahon and the creative team are considering a number of different possibilities for a match involving Floyd Mayweather, Jr. A source said that plans are ?constantly changing.? MVP?s name has been mentioned to tag-team with The Big Show, however nothing has been confirmed. With Shane McMahon taking part in the angle at No Way Out with The Big Show it could be assumed that he is the strongest candidate to tag-team with The Big Show. Rey Mysterio?s recent injury forced WWE to change their plans for No Way Out, and could lead to more changes in the match structure if he is unable to wrestle at WrestleMania 24.

TheElite Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 He probably wasn't going to give Hatton a rematch regardless. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/620602-mayweather-to-wrestle-at-wrestlemania/#findComment-589216234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted February 18, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted February 18, 2008 Probably not, think Cotto was on the cards anyway if there would be any match.

digipoi Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 There really doesn't need to be a rematch between Hatton and Mayweather. The outcome would be the same. We need to give Cotto a shot though he won't win either. No one can beat Mayweather at the moment. From 140 - 154, I don't see who can do it. For the wrestling, that fine. Just hope he has a strong back. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/620602-mayweather-to-wrestle-at-wrestlemania/#findComment-589216679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac9 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I've just finished watching No Way Out and I can't wait to see what Mayweather's involvement will be and what kind of reaction he will get from the Big Show. The punches he landed on the Big Show were impressive.

Rappy Veteran Posted February 19, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2008 No Way Out was pretty crap except for that moment I can't wait for the Mayweather/Show showdown, I heard he is supposed to open Raw.

sPudz Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 why has mayweather gone from a sport where your physique counts for whether you might win or not to a completely staged and scripted 'sport' where your physique counts for nothing other than showing off on tv?

Rappy Veteran Posted February 26, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted February 26, 2008 LOS ANGELES -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a champion boxer and has tested his moves on "Dancing With the Stars." Now the man many consider the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world is preparing to drop the gloves and do some wrasslin.'A $20 million payday awaits the undefeated WBC welterweight champion when he takes on Big Show as part of WWE's "WrestleMania XXIV" at Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., on March 30. "It's entertainment. You have a chance to just be you and do what you want to do," Mayweather said Monday after a chaotic Staples Center event that masqueraded as a news conference. The boxer nicknamed "Money" clearly likes the way WWE does business. "Wrestling takes care of business right on the spot," Mayweather said. "Whatever they say they're going to do, they do it right on the spot. There's no waiting three, four, five months. Quick results, quick money. Quick big money, too." His manager Leonard Ellerbee and WWE executive Shane McMahon confirmed Mayweather's eight-figure payday for the outdoor match to be shown on live on pay-per-view.

ring0 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 exactly. just shows that as much as he likes to talk about being "the best in the world", he's really more interested in making a quick buck than backing up his words.
