Did Mayweather make 20 MILLION for the WWE ****?

[boxasmash]

we all know that was the quoted figure (cough bull ****), Horus in the chat is telling me i'm an idiot because I said that was rubbish. He tried to use sports illustrated amoung other media outlets as a source.

So did mayweather make 20M for 20 minutes of acting? think that all the "wrestlers" don't make half of that in a whole year.

i don't think that's true...oscar was number 3 and david becham was number 2...tiger was one...floyd might have been in the top 5...but i'm thinking he was number 6...lebron james or shaq might have been ahead as well...

[The Gully Gad]

Did he *** make 20 mil....

More along the mark BIGP just said 3 to 5 if that...

WWE is a publicly traded company. All of the salaries and expenses and made public to their stock holders. Mayweather's pay was not even close to $20 million. Between 3-5, I cant remember the right number.
