If the sports world hasn't been crazy enough this year with Major League Baseball steroids scandal, the New York Giant's beating the cry baby New England Patriots, Bernard Hopkins losing his belt to a bum, B.E.T comes out with the iron ring, Josh Howard admitting that he smokes weed in the off season (and so do other players), Football still recovering from the Michel Vick's problems, Tiger Woods blows another opportunity to win a green jacket, Memphis loses the NCAA championship due to their inability to hit free throws and my all time favorite, Brett Favre on the cover of Madden '08 and he's retired.

 

After witnessing these various debacles, we were not surprised by the W.W.E.'s absurd attempt at a modern day "David and Goliath". Yes I am talking about the now infamous pay per view fight between Floyd "Money" Maywheather and The Big Show. Now like you when I first heard it all I could do is laugh and think to myself "Say it ain't so!", but then when I heard that he was paid a whopping 20 million dollars for the event I was blown away. I gave Floyd the benefit of the doubt figuring that he felt that he has beat every one put before him in boxing and now put his sights on conquering a new frontier in wrestling which involved beating up on a 7 ft 400 pound giant but this time, the conquest was clearly not the case at all. I guess we see now why his new nickname is money. How fitting!

 

If you didn't catch the Wrestlemania XXIV Pay-Per-View fight , then you missed Money Mayweather defeat the ominous wrestling giant, The Big Show. Yes it was comical to watch the 5'7 Mayweather try to box the 7 foot Big Show. After his futile attempts Money finally took to wrestlings old and dirty tradition and grabbed a chair, hit The Big Show over the head momentarily dazing enough for Money to knock him out with a set of brass knuckles on his right hand. The fight lasted a little over 11 minutes.

 

Afterwards Money (never a loss for words) goes on to say "Now, every time you look up -- no matter where you go, I don't care where you are -- I'll be the most-talked-about entertainer out there. I can't say I'm the most-talked-about fighter, because other guys are just fighters. Oscar De La Hoya is just a fighter. Floyd Mayweather is an entertainer."
