Years After 7ft Giant Big Show Clashed With 5’6 Floyd Mayweather, Classic WWE Moment Has Joe Rogan in Awe of Massive Size Difference

Floyd Mayweather may be famous for his undefeated 50-o record, cementing his legacy as one of the best boxers of all time. However, some of the most glaring and exciting fights were with opponents who were significantly bigger than ‘Money’. Joe Rogan recently expressed his amusement after noticing the size difference between Mayweather and his WWE opponent, Big Show.

Big Show rose through the WWE ranks during the Attitude Era and went on to become a household name among the fans of professional wrestling. However, he made headlines when the promotion booked him for a match with Floyd Mayweather, who is just 5’6”. It was easily one of his most memorable matches throughout his stint in WWE.

Joe Rogan shares a laugh after witnessing the size difference between Big Show and Floyd Mayweather

After mentioning the size difference between Logan Paul and Mayweather, Joe Rogan proceeded to examine the match ‘Money’ had with the Big Show at WrestleMania 24. Comedian Ali Siddiq joined the 55-year-old on the #1998 episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast, reminding Rogan about Mayweather’s WrestleMania match while bursting out laughing. He said, “When he wrestled with Show, Big Show (chuckles).”

Joe Rogan remembered that fight and mentioned how, unlike Mayweather’s fight against Paul, the WWE match with the Big Show was actually a pretty even matchup. He said, “Yeah, pro wrestling. But at least that’s the actual in terms of an actual fight.” WWE tends to book celebrities or other sporting personalities to win their fight on most occasions. Let us take a look at what transpired during the fight.

What happened during Mayweather’s fight against the Big Show?

The Big Show made his return after a few months away from the promotion in 2008 at WWE’s ‘No Way Out’ pay-per-view. Floyd Mayweather happened to be present at the event that night. The Big Show noticed him sitting at the ringside and clashed with the boxing star. This led to the WWE booking a ‘No Disqualification Match’ between the two athletes.

The fight was more entertaining than most WWE matches. While Mayweather was relying on his boxing prowess, the Big Show’s 7-foot frame was proving to be a hurdle for the 50-o boxer. However, ‘Money’ was able to take control of the fight after hitting the WWE legend with several chair shots. Moreover, he ended the match after hitting the Big Show with a right hook wearing brass knuckles.
