Floyd Mayweather to be escorted to the ring by a celebrity

Floyd Mayweather will be led to the ring for his match against Big Show at WrestleMania 24 by rapper 50 Cent. “We got a friendship,” Mayweather told MTV.com. “We talk about business a little bit.” 50 Cent previously performed “I Get Money” while escorting Mayweather to the ring for his fight with Oscar De La Hoya last year.

Powell’s POV: Good publicity for WWE. Although the initial Mayweather angle didn’t get them the ESPN buzz they were looking for, they are definitely getting the type of mainstream attention they were looking for.
