Floyd Mayweather Jr is Money for WWEs ratings
The ratings are in, and despite the negative reviews, The Floyd Mayweather Jr episode of Monday Night RAW scored extremely high according to WWE standards.
Mayweather’s appearance was the second highest rating since WWE started the “guest host” storyline. It came in barely behind Shaquille O’Neal’s appearance.
In fact, Mayweather’s appearance ranks in the top 5 of WWE ratings for the entire year of 2009.
Here’s a list of the ratings for WWE’s “Guest Hosts”:
(1) Shaquille O'Neal (7/27) - 3.95
(2) Floyd Mayweather (8/24) - 3.93
(3) Batista (6/29) - 3.87
(4) Sgt. Slaughter (8/10) - 3.80
(5) Freddy Prinze, Jr. (8/17) - 3.79
(6) Ted DiBiase, Sr. (7/6) - 3.61
(7) Seth Green (7/13) - 3.55
(8) Piven & Dr. Ken (8/3) - 3.55
(9) ZZ Top (7/20) - 3.53
Here’s the top 10 WWE RAW ratings for the year
1. June 22: 4.5 (Donald Trump appearance)
2. February 16: 4.1
3. February 23: 4.1
4. July 27: 3.95 (Shaq appearance)
5. August 24: 3.93 (Mayweather appearance)
6. January 19: 3.9
7. April 6: 3.9
8. June 29: 3.87 (First week for RAW guest host)
9. March 2: 3.8
10. March 9: 3.7
WWE has to be happy about these numbers especially with the police trouble Floyd Mayweather was in the day of his appearance. In addition to Floyd’s police troubles, WWE put on one of the worse episodes of RAW in the last few months.
I can picture Vince sitting in his office laughing at the world because he just sold a Popsicle to an Eskimo. (No offense intended to Eskimos)
Floyd might not do great numbers for his fight but he did for the WWE.
