WWE have given their backing to Floyd Mayweather Jr ahead of his May 2 clash with Manny Pacquiao.
The unbeaten Mayweather confirmed the potentially record-breaking pay-per-view clash with the Filipino on Friday evening, and the pair will collide in a mouth-watering showdown at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Mayweather was part of the WrestleMania 24 card, when he claimed a victory over the Big Show, while he has also previously been a guest host of Monday Night Raw, and the company tweeted their support for the pound-for-pound king.
