Floyd Mayweather Jr Is Going To Wrestlemania?

When Floyd Mayweather Jr. said he would take a hiatus from boxing, many figured he would remain out of the ring for some time until his proposed September rematch with Oscar De La Hoya. Instead of the boxing ring, Mayweather will find himself in a wrestling ring where he will face Paul Wight Jr. aka The Big Show for $20 million.
The WBC welterweight champion and consensus best pound for pound boxer in the world has signed a deal with WWE to put his boxing skills to the side and show off his wrestling talents at the upcoming WrestleMania XXIV event.

"It's entertainment. You have a chance to just be you and do what you want to do," Mayweather said after press conference.
WrestleMania XXIV is scheduled to take place on March 30 at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida.

Mayweather, nickname "Money", was challenged to a match on WWE Raw, a professional wrestling television program, on February 17, 2008, following a physical altercation involving The Big Show the night before.
Mayweather accepted the challenge.

"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."
WrestleMania XXIV, produced by the World Wrestling Entertainment, will be the twenty-fourth annual WrestleMania professional wrestling match on pay-per-view
