Floyd Mayweather once fought in a marquee WWE match at WrestleMania

Floyd Mayweather kicked off a feud with WWE legend Big Show on the road to WrestleMania 24 in 2008. This rivalry led to a No DQ match between the two stars at The Show of Shows. Mayweather defeated Show via knockout in just under 12 minutes.

Big Show aka Paul Wight once opened up about the match while speaking with Submission Radio:

“It was a shoot. Floyd punched me in the nose, and I told him to break it. I mean, I don’t know how you work that. Like, I mean, I’m sorry, I guess I said, ‘Yeah, go ahead and punch my nose.’ I said not to shove it down the back of my head, but if you can tap it, [go ahead]. I mean, to get a chance to work with probably one of the greatest fighters of all time. He’s certainly one of the greatest defensive fighters of all time. To work with Floyd [Mayweather] and to have that opportunity for that spotlight at WrestleMania. I mean, that whole thing changed.” [H/T WBN]

As per MMA Junkie, Mayweather's opponent is a New York mobster's grandson. That didn't stop Mayweather from giving it back to Gotti III with all his might.
