Baron Corbin On If He'd Like To See Floyd Mayweather And Conor McGregor On SmackDown
Baron Corbin wouldn't mind seeing Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor come to SmackDown.
The comments came during a recent media interview where Corbin was asked about the idea of one of the participants in the upcoming August 26, 2017 super-fight coming to WWE. Corbin was quick to point out that Mayweather has a history in the company.
"[Floyd Mayweather] came and he left his mark here one time prior with Big Show," said Corbin. "I thought it was pretty special. So I wouldn't mind seeing Floyd come back and see what he can do. I wouldn't mind testing myself against Floyd."
Mayweather appeared at WWE's No Way Out pay-per-view on February 17, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada. He legitimately broken Big Show's nose, which led to a match between the two of them at WrestleMania XXIV. There was wide speculation about how much money Mayweather received for the angle, with reports indicating he was compensated $20,000,000. He returned to WWE RAW in Las Vegas on August 24, 2009 as a guest host.
"If Conor [McGregor] showed up, I'd just try to put a whopping on him as well," Corbin continued. "Either one would be a fun thing to deal with and you know they're both good at running their mouths and their both good at shutting them. It'd be a fun little thing."
