i was just watching ESPN and they were talking about mayweather and all this WWE participation and they confirmed that gayweather is only making less than 2 MILLION for his presentation.they believe mayweather just said that to bring peoples attention.
i kind of knew it a wrestler can't really make that much unless u have a 4 or more years of contract.
MAYWEATHER=WANABE.
the rock was on 7 m p/a
Whats 7 m p/a? By the way, i have a nice pic that you might like. Its the one u have of Ali standing over Frazier, but Ali is holding a guitar in hands, and he looks as if he's singing to frazier. I dont know how to upload pics though.
I think NAPO was saying that Mayweather is trying to bring his value up as a boxer/entertainer/businessman. He says that he's making 20 mil cause when the offer comes to fight Oscar or Cotto, he would say, hey if it is less than 25 mil don;t even bother with it cause I just got paid 20 mil for a fake fight, for which I didn't even have to train. You could say it's a smart move or a dumb one I really can't argue with either opinion. It would've been a much better move though if he just said he got paid a lot and just leave it as that.
Nobody would pay Floyd 20 mil outside of boxing, NOBODY! WWE hasn't even paid stars like Hogan, Rock and Stonecold more than 5 mil a year.

LOL These fucking Floyd nuthuggers are out of this world, whatever happened to "If it makes no money it makes no sense?" fucking pathetic. LiFeZtyLe Fl@$hY fo' LiFe yO!!
Thier backup excuse will be, "but it brings more exposure to boxing"
so first it was
"Why would Floyd train for months and fight Cotto for prolly under $10 million when he could make an appearance for a FAKE fight that he doesnt have to train for and make $20 Million? Wouldnt YOU do it?"
so now whats it going to be?
Exactly! Truth be told, Floyd makes around $15mil for a fight with Cotto. If he's gonna look down on that as chump change, then he might aswell retire right after his rematch with Oscar. Nobody else will make him that type of money.

Funny thing is, Floydboyz all rejoice about how they dont blame Floyd for doing this WWE circus stunt because he's making $20mil. The minute anyone questions the validity of the $20mil offer, they Floydboys reply with "hater, why do u even care so much about how much he's making". Meanwhile, they are justifying his actions due to the amount of "money" he is supposebly making. I dont get it.
Good point. But apparently the author of this thread considered it some kind of moral victory that Floyd is only making 2 million as opposed to 20.
He is a Floyd hater. He used to be on ricky's nuts, search him. Riddiculous band wagon jumpers. Hate them all.
"In fact, some wrestling insiders guess Mayweather's take will be closer to $1 million. "
Thats the direct quote.
No sources, no opinions from experts, nothing.
That quote from ESPN is more like some shit you see in those bullshit celebrity magazines who just make shit up.
"A close family friend said their relationship is on the rocks."
"An insider said he may be cheating on his wife."
Give me a fucking break with that bullshit.
Let me ask u this, and be honest. Do you REALLY think they are paying Floyd $20mil for 1 appearance? Does that even make any economical sense? If u do believe that, i would like for you to elaborate on how Vince McMahon benefits off of paying Floyd $20mil. Mind you, wrestlers who have brought in millions of dollars in revenue, have never even made more than $5mil in one year. Are u telling me that Vince is willing to pay Floyd more than he's ever paid guys like Holk Hogan, The Rock, Undertaker, etc?
If u believe that, i have an Island for sale. U interested?
Exactly, that just shows how not credible that source is.
so it coming out of Mayweather's mouth is more credible and logical? are you serious? 20 mill for someone who isnt even a B-list celeb to make an appearance on WWE? werd?
Either way 2million is a lot of money. 2million is about the combined purses of Vaz-Marquez I, II and III. Anyone know how much Holyfield or Tyson got?

What source did ESPN confirm that with?
Floyd and the WWE said he was makin 8 figures, so thats a far more credible one at this point in time.
Of course Floyd and WWE are gonna say that! Its all to hype up the fight, plus the $20mil sounds good with his "money may" moniker.
