So what was Wrestlemania 24's Buy Rate? Anyone know?

[tyson]

Me too. There's just something about him.

He's an ALIEN

[2501]

People who I have talked to, who don't even watch boxing, has heard of Floyd Mayweather.

of course people know who Mayweather is. I know you know the difference between being known and being followed. The goal of becoming a celebrity is for people to care. People who care become fans and follow the individual's career. Do you, in the deepest crevices of that black, cold, lump of muscle you call a heart, believe that these wrestling fans will buy Floyd Mayweather's next fight?

Lets take it a step further since some people think Floyd is bringing Boxing some new fans, do you believe that wrestling fans will buy the next non Floyd PPV fight?

[Silencers]

He's an ALIEN

the link you provided was for wrestlemania 21 not 24...be patient the numbers will post next week. and it will eclipse the donald trump wrestle mania

[RAESAAD]

Supposedly, last year with Donald "Golden Comb Over" Trump was like 1.2 Million. Did Mayweather help bring a larger, flashier figure with his mega supernova start celebrity?

If it did anything even slightly above avg Mayweather would already be on youtube bragging about it......It did what they all do besides around 909 ******ed boxing fans that might have been 'curious' to see what was gonna happen live.....

Of course I know the difference between being known and being followed. I just now sincerely doubt that you know the definition of the word "celebrity" (which is kind of sad, in a way).

–noun, plural -ties for

1. a famous or well-known person.
2. fame; renown.

I don't see anything in there about being "followed" or "having fans" that disqualifies him as a "celebrity"



And yes, a few wrestling fans WILL buy a Floyd Mayweather PPV now because they recognize him. Plain and simple, fame alone sells. I'll go see a Jet Lee movie, just because Jet Lee is in it. Am I part of the Jet Lee fanclub on yahoo? Nope.
