is floyd jr worth $ 20,000,000?

[Haglerwins]

Floyd did not make 20 mil fighting Big Show. LOL at people believing that. Vince, Floyd, Big Show, and HHH were all on Larry King and he couldn't get a straight answer from McMahon on Floyd's pay day. I find it ridiculous to believe he would pay that much to a B celebrity in Floyd at the time.

Steve Austin, Hogan, or Rock never even saw that much dough at once working for Vince combined.

[Brandish]

Diaz has no defense and Marquez chin is trash (Pacquaio has shown us how to break it)....Floyd would beat them bot hand make it boring because he that much skilled than those two "great" fighter.

best post I have seen all day..floyd would make marquez look pedestrian in the ring

[a-raines21]

pre plaster margarito wanted floyd... pre no mas de la hoya wanted floyd rematch... hatton too... mosley wants floyd... now marquez wants a piece of floyd too... if you are arum or schaeffer or don king, would you pay floyd $ 20,000,000?

i wouldnt pay a man who is retired anything..... if i were them i would get off his ****

This link should make you a believer and confirm the 20 mil:

I saw that Larry King interview...I wouldn't blame Vince for not discussing that kind of financial business on TV..he didn't confirm nor deny it. BUT Forbes is a financial magazine that get everyone financial details and Forbes is a legitimate source of financial information. A B-level celeb....Floyd was the best p4p athlete in his given sport at that time and he was a part of the biggest PPV of all time...how is that a B-level celeb?

Steve Austin, Hogan, or Rock never even saw that much dough at once working for Vince combined.

Well because they work for Vince...if Vince wants true athletes like Mayweather or even an A-Rob, Lebron, Manning or a Woods to participate in a match...he would have to pay them what they are use too....Those athletes make over 20 million easy.....Those athletes are not Austin, Hogan, or Rock.

floyd isnt worth is, he doesn't bring in the numbers that would cover that kind of guarantee of 20 million. he needs whoever he's fighting to sell the fight, hatton and pacquiao are the only two with the kind of fan base needed to make that kind of money, and even then it isnt a guarantee, and between the two if i had to pick where the most money is to be made between hatton or pacquiao i would have to pick hatton mainly because his fans spend lots of money to watch him fight and will travel. manny has his peeps too but for some reason manny's fans dont spend like the brits and roll in the same kind of numbers.

regardless of that, floyd doesn't sell that enough to warrant that kind of cash, and as far as i'm concerned the retirement doesn't make his stock rise and it doesn't call for a demand of floyd mayweather.

i think that boxing has been better since he has retired, i think more match ups have been made and fighters have been more willing to fight one another since his retirement. now, there isnt people waiting in hopes to catch a fight with floyd, no one is waiting to see who wins or loses win floyd fights to make their match making decisions. floyd leaving really change people directions in their careers which has benefited us fight fans, and as of right now, i don't want that getting taken away again............ unless floyd comes back and fights people which leaves others no option but to make the fights anyways, just as if he was still retired. floyd cause a constipation in matching making in about 3 to 4 divisions, and constipation sucks!

[S.W.F.C]

lol at people arguing about what Floyd should be paid.
**** the money, he should be fighting for his legacy the greedy bastard.

[Don Johnson]

he isn't worth 20 mil maybe 10-15 mil. He;s unentertaining and he's more skilled with his big whore mouth than he is w/ his delicate little ***** hands.

of course floyd deserves $20 million... everyone is calling him out and he's been retired for what.... 2 years???

but the $20 million guarantee is ridiculous

That does not make me a believer, Vince is a proven liar. He embellishes on his wrestlers weights, heights, lied about steroids in wrestling and lied about screwing over his greatest pure wrestler. Mayweather made his dough, but I'm no fool, it was not 20 million. That figure was to hype the bout, no more no less. That 20 million is a reported figure, not gospel.

Floyd Mayweather is a B level (and that's being nice) celebrity. He is not more recognizable than (even to this day) Hulk Hogan, or Steve Austin. Fact.

Steve Austin turned the WWE into a billion dollar promotion and never saw more than 6 million in a fiscal year. I'm supposed to believe Vince paid FMJ 20 mil for one event in a non-peak WWF period?

Sorry, not buying it for a second. It's common sense.

We will agree to disagree....Forbes (a legitimate magazine who will not be fooled by Vince shenagians) says otherwise. Floyd was a part of the largest PPV in history....that tell me that a lot of casual fans watch the fight, plus he was on dancing with the stars and wrestled at Wrestlemania....While he not as known as Austin & Hogan...he not a B-Level celebrity.

Floyd is the best fighter in his given sport at that time, he is a celebrity but we will agree to disagree.
