Now look; I recognize Pretty Boy Floyd as one of the 3 best fighters in the world (may have to put Miguel Cotto and Kelly Pavlik in that discussion) but come on, WRESTLING WITH THE BIG SHOW??

Now I know "Money" Mayweather is all about showin' off.. and flash.. and yes i get it.. it's entertainment... but now? In the prime of his career? I saw this happen with Antonio Tarver; right after he whipped Roy Jones, Jr, yet again, he decided to be the co-star in "Rocky Balboa"; gained 30 pounds, then was lacklucter when he got back in the ring after losing all that weight and lost his title.

Floyd is great, but he doesn't need this. Not yet. If he wants to entertain, he can wait 5 more years and still do the whole wrestling bit. Just my 2 cents, but I want to see Pretty Boy fight Cotta or Sugar Shane or De La Hoya again, not some fake BLEEP with the Big Show.

Good points. But who's to say what can happen in five years? God forbid - but car accident, head injury, hand injury, anything. Like anyone else you work to supply for your family, why is he any different? Twnety million for one night's work - and I can provide for my family, give then a better life....I'd be sitting in the ring Indian style waiting for everyone else to show up. There's no guarantee he can get this kind of check later. Me personally, I say get it while you can. (Best believe the promoters and PPV folks will)

Ha!! Good stuff ya'll.. and yeah, I'm not hatin' on Floyd for getting in while the gettin's good, but I just thnik he could have waited a bit to do the clowing stuff ala wrestling midgets and/or the big show.

I LOVE watching Floyd fight. That's what I want to see him do, while he's still in his prime!

Hi everyone!! Dave Ross here, and I have been here, at WTTG, for a long, long time now. I came to DC in 1995, as a writer for our morning sportscasts, then I would field produce all of Tony Perkins' live shots. We had too much fun, and who knew years later Tony would return to Fox, and I'd still be here! Since then, I have moved on to become the Senior Sports Producer, and the host of Sports Breakfast. Working daily with the likes of Dave Feldman and Dave Benz always makes for a fun day at the office. I think it's fairly easy to see that I am a sports junkie, and I love a good debate. So needless to say, I will be sharing my opinion on the world of sports, and I look forward to hearing yours as well!
