mayweather getting 20m for wrestlemania

I can't see how they can get enough extra PPV buys to warrant a 20 million payday. Whats a WWE ppv cost $40? If that got an extra 400,000 PPV buys(Which i think is impossible) it would generate an extra $16 million. Subtract calbe company's take and the figure is even lower. Does anyone here actually going to order it because Mayweather is wrestling? I'm talking about non prowrestling fans. I can't see anyone doing it, theres zero cross promotion appeal. This isn't like when Brock Lesnar fought in the UFC, there was appeal from non MMA fans because its a real fight involving an EX pro-wrestler. If Mayweather fought a MMA match a lot of boxing fans would buy the PPV because its a real fight, but who the fuck would care about a scripted wrestling match outside of WWE fans? I think WWE banks on being able to get good ratings up until the event and in the end it will pay off.

Sorry to all the Floyd-lovers, but the first thing I thought is, "money-grabbing-whore". And, I'm still thinking it. Am I jealous? Actually no. I think there's a lot of folk in the world desperate for money for food, rent etc. And this guy gets 20mill for a joke fight!!! Where's the justice?

Damn. 20 million dollars.... Well, that should take care of any idiots saying "(my favorite boxer) wouldn't do that, Floyd is a joke!" or anything like that.

u really cant blame him... its EASY money, and its quick... he doesnt have to train... its fake wrestling... he ll get a few bruises, end of story...

20 million, thats if he gets injured. Cause if he gets hurt while getting tossed around by big show, he wont be able to box so thats insurance. where the fuck have you been?

wrestlemania weekend generates 100s of millions in just one weekend alone and having star power there only adds to the press coverage the weekend will get. like tyson donald trump ali lawrence taylor and others before him floyd mayweather is helping promote this weekend

If its true, good for him. I just dont see how the WWE benefits off of paying Floyd 20mil for just 1 appearence.

WOW 20 million for a couple of apparances....i hope its a one time deal and doesnt become a regular as im sure he would quit boxing for this...Just fight Cotto already and then go do your WWE thing.

The WWF can through that type of money around but for a Holyfield or a Tyson....I think Mayweather isn`t that big to mainstream or casual fans to warrent that pay check. But he`d be foolish not to take it.

20 mill? that cant be true

I have to say, it's a good business decision, 20 million for 1 match and 4 or 5 appearences.

Here come the Mayweather haters in 3,2,1....

Floyd would be stupid not to take this offer. 20 mil for a play time fight! Love him or hate him, Floyd certainly is MONEY Mayweather.

insulting to the human race that is.

i didnt look at the link yet but i really cant beleive that. thats insulting in my opinion.

I cant believe 20million dollars for one wrestling match in which he wont be in the ring half the time. Ray will carry him, Mayweather wont risk anything to his body.

Yeah I'm in miguel cotto's english class at the moment lol!

I think him and shane o mac should join forces to make "DA MONEY CREW MASSIVE!" Errrrmmmmmmm Yes Right then, then you go take an english class?

I think him and shane o mac should join forces to make "DA MONEY CREW MASSIVE!"
