 As boxing and WWE fans eagarly await Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s match-up against the Big Show at WrestleMania XXIV on March 30 in Orlando, Florida, Mayweather continues to add on to that hype.
As he did in the Mayweather/De La Hoya bout, 50 Cent has been enlisted by his boxing friend to escort him to the ring against 7-foot-plus Paul "Big Show" Wight. He decided this during a recent radio interview.
On Friday (February 29), Mayweather appeared on New York radio station Power 105.1, which was being hosted by 50 Cent, where he asked 50 for a favor.
"I'd like for you to bring me out [at Wrestlemania]," the superstar boxer said.
In response, Fiddy said, "I'm coming. I'm coming."
As mentioned, 50 escorted Mayweather to the ring to face Oscar De La Hoya in May 2007, while performing his single "I Get Money," and now, 50 will help his friend out once again.
According to MTV, on "WWE Raw" recently, Mayweather appeared via satellite and told the Big Show, "I'm willing to die at "WrestleMania"! Are you?" He then went on to promise the 300 pound plus wrestler that he'd break his jaw when they face-off.
The match at the end of this month will be their second time squaring off in the ring. Last month, Mayweather and the Big Show had their first confrontation during WWE's pay-per-view special "No Way Out." After getting on his knees to let the much smaller Mayweather take a free hit, the Show's nose was broken in a swift Floyd hook.
Mayweather is being paid a reported $20 million for his participation at WrestleMania XXIV.
