“Money” Mayweather takes big payday to join WWE

Floyd Mayweather just got fat cash (as in $2 mil fat) to wrestle for WWE’s Wrestlemania.

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.”

I can almost respect a man who says, “Yeah, I’m doing this for the money” instead of one who denies it and tries to make it about doing a good deed. Have fun Floyd and remember, you now have a small connection to Pacman Jones.
