Ahead of their Wrestlemania showdown, Floyd Mayweather Jr has once again come face-to-face with The Big Show.

Another face-off ahead of March 30th clash

Just over one month ahead of their showdown at WWE's Wrestlemania and Floyd Mayweather Jr. has once again come face-to-face with new nemesis The Big Show. Their last meeting took place last week and ended with the undefeated Mayweather, who beat Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas in December, breaking his next opponent's nose. No such mayhem ensued in Los Angeles on Monday, however, as the pair once again went into publicity overdrive for their upcoming contest. The assembled throng initially chanted for The Big Show but, arriving first at the press conference, Mayweather threw money into the crowd in a bid to win their affections. "There used to be a WWE. But we're going to turn the two 'W's upside down and call it Money Mayweather Entertainment," the Pretty Boy quipped on Sky Sports News. "I've got money, I've got magic; I'm in a big boy private jet every day; all the girls love me," he added.

Looming at 7ft 4ins - complete with 24in neck and 67in chest - The Big Show then made his own entrance. "You're like 39 and 0 - undefeated," he responded. "Why don't you take all 39 of your opponents, put them in the ring with you and it'll be all 40 against me." Becoming increasingly irate, The Big Show then overturned a nearby lectern before once again challenging Mayweather - who had to stand on a chair to meet his opponent's stare. The Big Show is three times the size of Mayweather - carrying 270 lb more weight - and claims to be the 'largest athlete in the world'. And, as if to emphasise the disparity, The Big Show concluded the face-off by repeatedly informing Mayweather that "my hand is bigger than your chest".
