LOS ANGELES -- The next World Wrestling Entertainment event was expected to be huge in Orlando March 30.
Undefeated boxer turned professional wrestler Floyd Mayweather, Jr., was announced this week as one of the featured performers in Wrestlemania 24.
The 150-pound Mayweather would cash in on a reported $20 million for the one-day event, in which he takes on a wrestler who is 7 feet tall, and 425 pounds, nicknamed "Big Show."
At a press meeting in Los Angeles Tuesday, as part of the promotion for WrestleMania, Mayweather did his best Pacman Jones impression, "making it rain" on the people in the crowd as he tossed money around like it was paper.
"I'm the champ, you dig? It's 'Money' Mayweather and the McMahon boys. We run this show," Mayweather said, referring to the McMahon family, who own and operate the WWE.
Upon being called out to the stage by Mayweather, Big Show threw the podium aside.
Then came the eye-to-eye confrontation, with Mayweather having to stand on a chair to look Big Show, who stands about one and a half feet taller than the boxer, in the eye.
The two will square off at WrestleMania on March 30 event at the Citrus Bowl.
