Mayweather Jr. 'I want to be a Pro-Wrestler'

[goblin]

floyd has made more money than any wrestler in history.

i dunno if he has more money than the rock..im talking his movies aswell now..

Walking Tall (2004) $15,000,000
The Rundown (2003) $12,500,000
The Scorpion King (2002) $5,500,000

were in 2009 and he's Disney's main man right now i believe he got around 20mil to do "race to witch mountain"..plus all the other movies he's done since 2004..so ya i dunno if he has more money than the rock maybe he does who knows..

[Silencers]

That's the same thing I said when I was 8.

I don't know where you get your facts from but thats bs. the rock for example used to get paid over 7 figures a year and that was in the 90's/early 2000's. WWE makes more money than it ever has today, regardless of how you view their current product, so I think its safe to say floyd wouldn't be getting 4 mill a year c'mon now... i mean, he aint gonna be gettin 20 mill either but yeah....

You obviously don't know where the state of Pro Wrestling is today

John Cena, the top 3 baby face in the company, only makes $3 Mill a year. He also has incentives with merchandising as well as his movie deals that are also put through the WWE. Midcarders and low-end Wrestlers get paid between $75,000 and $500,000. Also adding the fact that all of those wrestlers are responsible for things like traveling, hotels, insurance, etc...do the Math on a yearly basis.

Floyd got paid $5,000,000 for his Wrestlemania appearance when everyone here was going crazy about the "$20,000,000" bull**** he was stating Vince was giving him. But of course, Floyd's fans ate that **** up. Floyd can't and won't ever have a full time WWE schedule. Im sure he'll pop up here and there, but Floyd will make more on one night Boxing than he would Wrestling for 4 years Full Time. It's just the way it is.

i wish him luck on his new found path! ... i mean future path ... he will be the first pro-boxing WelterWeight / Pro-Wrestler Champ of all Champ ...

correct me if i am wrong about the first thing ...

[KissKissBangBan]

Wrestling is for ****..

You serious? The WWE reported they had a 35% drop in profit from 2005 to now and their PPVs beside Wrestlemania have been doing anywhere from 175k-250k buys where as in 99-01 they were reaching 400-500k average.

Floyd's BS'ing. He'll make appearances and what not, but no way he's going to have a full time WWE career. He'd be taking a huge step backwards considering where the Wrestling Biz is today.

Mayweather Jr. 'I want to be a Pro-Wrestler'

August 28, 12:00 AM Pro Wrestling Examiner Rick Rockwell

After his WWE appearance, Floyd Mayweather Jr. says he wants to be a pro-wrestler. Floyd wants to crossover from Boxing to Pro-Wrestling. “I wanna move out of boxing and into Pro-Wrestling”..Floyd has been a huge pro-wrestling fan since he was a kid. He says that it was “a dream come true” to work with the WWE.

He also says that the WWE brings him closer to his own kids because they remind Floyd of himself when he was a kid watching wrestlers like Jake Roberst, Junkyard Dog, Andre the Giant, and Hulk Hogan.

Floyd talks about how he is one of the best when it’s “lights, camera, action”..

Floyd finishes the interview by saying that he looks forward to being in a WWE ring soon and that he will become a WWE Superstar.

Analysis

You can look at these comments one of two ways.

A)Floyd is sincere and really wants to join the WWE to become a pro-wrestler
….. Or….
B)Floyd is just saying this to get pro-wrestling fans to like him, follow him, and buy his PPVs.


Either way, Floyd’s career is winding down in boxing. His drawing power has declined and there is really only one fighter left for him to face and that is Manny Pacquiao. It’s been well documented that Floyd’s upcoming fight has struggled in sales. His recent appearance on WWE really didn’t help him because he got into police trouble the morning of his the appearance. The WWE limited his exposure because of these troubles.

So, with the lights fading on Boxing perhaps Pro-Wrestling might just be the best forum for Mayweather JR to stay in the spotlight and make his “Money”…

Improve your mic skills Floyd before you think about being a wrestler.

floyd will be greater than the rock and hulk hogan if he goes over there. he will the greatest ever trash talker and the richest wrestler of all time.

LOL...you're completely out of your mind. Floyd's off-the-head mic skills are terrible. He can barely talk through a normal interview, but he'll be a bigger trash talker than Austin and The Rock?

LOL...Flame On though...
