After his WWE appearance, Floyd Mayweather Jr. says he wants to be a pro-wrestler. Floyd wants to crossover from Boxing to Pro-Wrestling. “I wanna move out of boxing and into Pro-Wrestling”..
Floyd has been a huge pro-wrestling fan since he was a kid. He says that it was “a dream come true” to work with the WWE.
He also says that the WWE brings him closer to his own kids because they remind Floyd of himself when he was a kid watching wrestlers like Jake Roberst, Junkyard Dog, Andre the Giant, and Hulk Hogan.
Floyd talks about how he is one of the best when it’s “lights, camera, action”..
Floyd finishes the interview by saying that he looks forward to being in a WWE ring soon and that he will become a WWE Superstar.
Analysis
You can look at these comments one of two ways.
A) Floyd is sincere and really wants to join the WWE to become a pro-wrestler
….. Or….
B) Floyd is just saying this to get pro-wrestling fans to like him, follow him, and buy his PPVs.
Either way, Floyd’s career is winding down in boxing. His drawing power has declined and there is really only one fighter left for him to face and that is Manny Pacquiao. It’s been well documented that Floyd’s upcoming fight has struggled in sales. His recent appearance on WWE really didn’t help him because he got into police trouble the morning of his the appearance. The WWE limited his exposure because of these troubles.
So, with the lights fading on Boxing perhaps Pro-Wrestling might just be the best forum for Mayweather JR to stay in the spotlight and make his “Money”…
