FLOYD vs. BIG SHOW

For the love of money, folk do some unusual shit.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Take my nigga Floyd "Money" Mayweather, for instance. The self-proclaimed "50 Cent of boxing" (because of their similar tough upbringings and fat pockets) is the biggest celebrity in the sport - not to mention rich as a muthafucka - 'cause he's a hustler. He squeezes extra money from his day job (where he's already won purses as high as $20 mil) by striking deals with HBO, then he has a gang of lucrative extracurriculars like "Dancing With The Stars" (30 stacks a week for 8 weeks), and, the grandaddy of 'em all, Wrestle-muthafuckin'-mania!!



Now, if you don't know how big a deal Wrestlemania is, you need to ask a few people a few questions and get some learnin' 'bout yaself. This scripted-ass, high-drama male soap opera might be the second-biggest deal in sports after the Super Bowl (money-wise, that is). Folks ranging in age from 8-80 come out of pocket every year and drop that exorbitant ticket price like it's hot. This year's event, with lil' Money fighting the 7'4" Big Show in the main event, set a Citrus Bowl attendance record with over 74,000 drunken, screaming muthafuckas who shelled out a total of $5.85 MILLION at the gate.

Needless to say, it's big money.

Anyway, they paid Floyd $20 mil to really sell this thing and he went hard, popping up on the Today Show and Larry King Live before showing up to play-fight last night.

Here's how it pretty much went: Floyd shows up wearing a Chinchilla robe with matching shorts (if you can call 'em shorts when they're that long), dances around Big Show for a while before being caught and yoked up a couple times, ends up breaking free and getting his hands on a steel chair and some brass knuckles and wins the fight.

Pretty easy for $20 mil. Shit, the niggas they had playing Floyd's "handlers" got hit more than Floyd did. He basically just acted a fool.

Here's a bad video of the fight. Sorry.


Get ya money, Money.
