Floyd Mayweather Jr. was the host of Monday night’s World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Raw telecast, which took place in his hometown’s Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Mayweather is no stranger to WWE as he was a high-profile part of 2008’s WrestleMania XXIV.
He was a guest of the company during February 2008’s pay per view No Way Out, only to encounter the 7’2, 500 lbs. Big Show. During the confrontation Mayweather clocked Big Show and broke his nose. It set up a one-on-one match between the two athletes at WrestleMania XXIV, which naturally Mayweather won via knock out. The size differential between the two men made for an outstanding visual and brought a lot of mainstream coverage for WWE during the build-up to the match.
Mayweather is training for a Sept. 19 comeback fight against Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas.
