Proving he's worth every penny of the reported $20 million it took to get FLOYD MAYWEATHER to "wrestle" The Big Show, Wrestlemania XXIV set the record for the "most-watched WWE live event in company history."

It is reported that $5.85 million was made just in ticket sales alone. And early Nielson estimates show a reported 9.1 million viewers pre-ordered the pay-per-view event at $60 a pop.

Sounds like a good investment to me.

R&B singer John Legend opened WrestleMania XXIV by singing the National Anthem. Our fav Kim Kardashian introduced the Money in the Bank ladder match, while rapping wrestler John Cena and Triple H were defeated by Randy Orton during the Triple Threat Match.

Snoop Dogg presided over the Playboy Bunny Mania Lumber Jack Match. The rapper entered the ring in a tricked-out convertible Mercedes-Benz golf cart.

Oh and the "match" between Mayweather & the Big Show? To everyone's "surprise" Mayweather on with a stunning knockout.
