Next thing I know, Big Show grabs Rey and tries to chokeslam him. So I got in there, hit Big Show in the face, and broke the guy’s nose.” Mayweather’s adviser Leonard Ellerbe declined to say whether he and WWE have agreed to terms on a WrestleMania 24 appearance. “If WWE comes to me with an offer, I’m always looking to expand Floyd’s fan base, and it is something I definitely would take a strong look at.” To read the full story, click here. Powell’s POV: At some point, Mayweather will need to let the mainstream media know the truth about this story.
