WWE News Big Show, Shane, and Mayweather’s adviser comment on angle, sell it as a shoot to the mainstream media Feb 18, 2008 - 03:36 PM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing A number of mainstream news outlets have picked up on the Big Show and Floyd Mayweather story line. The following quotes are from a story published by the New York Daily News. Big Show stated: “He stepped into my ring and he punched me. He’s going to have to answer for that. One day we’re going to settle this. It may be David and Goliath, but I’m changing the script. David’s going to get his butt kicked.” Mayweather’s adviser Leonard Ellerbe stated: “Things just got out of hand. But (Big Show) was talking a lot of trash and he got what he deserves. But things went too far... Floyd’s one of the biggest names in entertainment. We’re using boxing as a platform to expand Floyd’s fan base. We want to think outside the box. He wants to generate revenue outside the sport. You can only become so big in boxing.” Shane McMahon stated: “There is always some type of interaction between the wrestlers and the celebrities, but you just don’t cross that barrier. Big Show did instigate it, but it got carried away.” Powell’s POV: Those comments on boxing won’t sit well with some hardcore boxing fans. Yes, he did say they are “using boxing” and not wrestling, according to the story published by the Post. Oddly enough, ESPN has yet to pick up on the angle.
