Show reveals that originally, The match was supposed to be a tag team match involving Batista and Rey Mysterio against Show and Mayweather.

"It's funny," The Big Show said, "the original thing was supposed to be a tag. It was supposed to be, I think, Batista and Rey against Floyd and myself. Rey got hurt. Batista got hurt. And then, it manifested into 'Giant vs. Boxer'."

The Big Show said he tells the younger talent today to have presence and command a room and that is something Mayweather understood immediately. 

"[Mayweather] understands the one part of our business that's very important for characters and I tell the young guys all the time, 'you've got to have a presence. You've got to be able to walk into a room and command a room. You've got to be able to walk down that entrance and command the entrance. Mayweather, you could tell, he just ate it up."

The Big Show praises Mayweather, claiming the boxing great was a better "pro" than many performers with whom he has shared a ring. 

"I didn't know how Floyd was going to work in front of 70,000 people." The Big Show continued, "I didn't know if he'd go into business for himself. He was a better pro in the ring than some guys that I've been in the ring with that have trained for this and done this for years."

The match was one of the most memorable things the big man has done in professional wrestling according to the wrestling legend. "I lost, which I don't really count winning and losing." The Big Show said, "I care about trying to tell good stories and have good matches. It was one of the best things I've been a part of in my career."
