Floyd Mayweather Is Two Days Away From The Circus
Sunday is this year’s Wrestlemania, and of course like Vince McMahon does every year, he has given mainstream media something to grab hold of in the Floyd Mayweather-Big Show match. Like usual, the pundits have ridiculed wrestling, Vince, and Mayweather, without once realizing that, as much as they like to make fun of the non-sport, that they are merely being hustled to provide a bigger buy-rate for P.T. Barnum’s bastard son’s new age circus. McMahon could give a rat’s ass about what ESPN or the newspapers think about him or “sports entertainment” (funny aren’t those the first two words of ESPN, just flipped? Interesting), but he’ll ride their opinions all the way to the bank. Just like he does every year about this time. This year it’s Mayweather and Big Show in an “anything goes” match that’s gotten the media’s attention. Well, that and Kim Kardashian’s ass, but that’s another story.
Mayweather has done his job pimping Wrestlemania, and he stands to get a strong payday from the event (not quite 20 mil, but that sure got people talking didn’t it?). It’ll probably lead Sportscenter after it happens and while the announcers laugh and make fun of the spectacle, the loudest laugh will be coming from the devil himself, as Vince watches the money roll in after another year of hustling everyone. Interviews from Mayweather and Big Show after the jump.
