Floyd Mayweather is one of the biggest names to ever grace the world of boxing. The undefeated professional boxer made the jump over to professional wrestling when the WWE offered him a massive payday to have a feud with The Big Show which ended in a No-Holds-Barred contest at WrestleMania 24.

Mayweather accepted and to everyone’s surprise, actually made an effort to have a decent match with Show instead of just collecting a paycheck. In what proved to be a surprisingly decent match, Mayweather would pick up the win on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Making full use of the no-holds-barred stipulation, the boxing icon’s posse attacked Show and Mayweather himself used a chair, and ultimately a knuckle duster to punch his opponent’s lights out and claim the victory.
