WE hate Floyd Mayweather because we are WRESTLING FANS. Fans of a sport with great heritage, amazing history and men who for the most part, full of wrestlers who have pride and dedication to their craft. Floyd Mayweather is USING wrestling for his own gain, and for a quick $20 million dollars. He is NOT a wrestler, he never wanted to be a wrestler, he has no DESIRE to be a wrestler....THAT's WHY HE IS A BOXER. There are too many wrestlers in the WWE who DON'T get in the main event that don't make enough money, and like Bret Hart said, a lot of these guys retire old, broken down and without health insurance. If Vince McMahon wanted a cocky, stereotypical thug to take on Big Show, he should have promoted somebody from within his own company, rather than bringing in somebody new. I can think of a lot of wrestlers who deserve a cut of that $20 million dollars other than some ALREADY rich spoiled thug boxer. Fans of a sport with great heritage like Ali vs monsoon, Ali vs Andre, Ali vs inoki, & Mike Tyson vs Austin.So this angle/gimmick is really a part of wrestling heritage. so this shows how much you know.know your wrestlinghistory before you talk it makes you look like the rest of dumb marks who really have no respect for the history of wrestling & how it is ran behind close doors. if you did then you would know this angle/gimmick is part of wrestlings history.also it was shane mcmahons idea & he was the one who mayweather to it .this is all shane mcmahons idea.shane dos not forgetthe pat & respects the past of wresting unlike the rest of marks who are crying about .

I actually like the angle but I'm 100% against WWE paying him $20 million. Maybe 2 million. What does that guy need with 20mil anyway? He can easily count $1 million that he doesn't spend in his own draw in his bedroom. I just hope their is a "Waste of money" chant at Wrestlemania from what ESPN has said it is 4.6 million only not 20 million.

My biggest problem, is that this angle is illogical.
NO WAY IN HELL WOULD MAYWEATHER DEFEAT BIG SHOW, but that's guaranteed to happen. In other words, it's insulting to us fans
Also, the WWE doesn't need his publicity to sell PPV spots, first It's WRESTLEMANIA!!!!!!
Secondly, they should focus on amping up their event with stoylines involving their guys because judging by the fan reaction on this board, the majority of the members agree that this Mania is going to suck.

Plus taxes probably so he probably is only get like 8-10 million out of it, which is still a lot

Guys, Mayweather is playing a CHARACTER on WWE television. Wrestling is fake, guys. It's all scripted. So why is there so many posts saying "Mayweather is too cocky, Show needs to kick his ass". I thought we all knew this. Do you watch Boxing? His cockiness is all him! most definately hes probaly the cockiest boxer of all time maybe eveb more so then ali....

Wrestlemania will sell based on the name, however this is about increasing buys from casual fans and getting mainstream attention. Donald Trump helped last them last year get over a million buys, so if it's done right, it does sell.

IT'S A BS NUMBER!If Tyson, who was a bigger name at that time, only made like $3million for WM14, why would Mayweather make that much? If you really think about it, it doesn't make any sense for him to get paid that much.

-Hes Annoying. -So is his dumb little Posse. -He is beyond awful on the microphone. -This whole angle is so sloppy and crapty and so awful it's not even funny. -Ok Mayweather we get it, You have lots of money......No need to pull out a brick of cash everywhere you go. -Overpaid, One night at mania and makes $20 Million. -No enthausiam at all. -Repeats himself over and over. We know that you want to break Big Show's jaw, No need to say it 100 ING TIMES. ......Does that sum it up?

Hes using wrestling for publicity, he is a boxer so he should stay there and brag.

simple answer:
$10 Million to Stone Cold $10 Million to Hogan
Would have been more than enough to secure a true dream wrestlemania main event.
or alternatively
$5 milion to Rock would have probably been enough to entice him back into the ring at WM24
Will i buy WM24 basedon Mayweather vs Show.. hell NO!
and btw: Mayweather is not actually making $20M guaranteed, it all depends on the gate + buyrate + advertisers that are secured and cross promotions.

We are the IWC. This is the minority and WWE doesn't really care what the small, hard to please IWC thinks.

4.6 million is still way too much for this jack@$$. If they did indeed spend 20 million for Mushmouth, I sincerely hope they get a returm on their investment. I actually like the angle but I'm 100% against WWE paying him $20 million. Maybe 2 million. What does that guy need with 20mil anyway? He can easily count $1 million that he doesn't spend in his own draw in his bedroom.

So Mayweather "using" wrestling is a dumb excuse. - Almost every year, Wrestlemania has a "non-wrestler" play a pretty big role. So how is this worse then ing Akebono, Donald Trump, and all the other people they've used? Differnce there is they didn't actaully wrestle. Mayweather is going to.
