Mayweather rewarded 20 million???

[OStigers2000]

I just read that the WWE is giving boxer Mayweather a 20 million dollar one deal match to take on the big show. I'm sorry but to me, that's kind of a slap in the face to all the wrestlers who go balls out, go constantly on the road, and pretty much get nothing. But the almighty Mayweather comes in and is rewarded 20 million for one match. I think that's absurd money to waist bringing in a boxer to get ratings for WM. McMahon could have put that money to good use by helping the talent he has, and giving them what they have put in the business. Your thoughts?

[Cage917r]

I agree that the 20 million dollar payday awaiting Pretty Boy Floyd at Mania' is rediculous. I mean last year they paid Trump 5 million and that went to charity and that storyline worked and payed off big time. The thing was that storyline featured actual wrestlers wrestling each other and Stone Cold. I thought this was going to be a good mini-fued after the great tension and pop generated at No Way Out, but last week's Raw left me wanting more. The fact is Boxing is basically irrelevent now, as UFC has taken over its fan base. Sure it will get a few more people to watch and buy Mania', but it is definetely not worth the 20 million.

[Y 2 Jake]

It depends. Last years Mania was the biggest of all time. Why? It wasn't for the stacked card that's for sure. It was probably down to the battle of the billionaires. So If somebody llike Trump can make a PPV sell, then somebody like Mayweather should. Well WWE hope so anyway.

i'm gonna have to agree with you on this one 100%. it's like a big @$$ choke slam on the big show being that he had an annual salary of one million dollars previously. all the wrestlers work their butts off days on end for there pay-cut. and all it takes is a big name in another sport to come in and take a 20 million dollar check for one match at wrestlemania!!!!!!!! this to me is a bunch of bull$#!+. that's probably a combined annual income of the top 7 paid wrestlers in wwe. anyways, that just turns me off to that whole match at wrestlemania. this is just my opinion, and i'm stickin' to it.

[mr1sparkle]

no matter how popular this guy is. 20 million dollar is not a mayweahter price at all, tottally a slap across all the hard working wrestler and wwe could really use this money for talent scouting, better writer or atleast use it on hogan or somebody atleast they are worth to watch in the wrestling world

[Frank the Frowner]

Believe me, if the WWE was going to spend $20 million to bring in a talent, they'd try to get The Rock to not only induct Peter Maivia and his father, but they'd also try to get him to wrestle a match. If Vince gave him that much, I'm pretty sure he'd wrestle in a heartbeat, no matter how much he's trying to distance himself.

WWE is probably just trying to work the fans and the media. If Mayweather was really making $20 million from this angle, it's a safe bet he would have been on Raw tonight. Either way, bringing him in was a great move. The media is slowly picking up on this, which is great for their exposure. Hopefully it keeps going.

Even if they did bring him in for $20 million, they'd need about 370,000 buys to break even. They'll easily do that.

[squaredcircle]

I have to believe that the $20 mil figure is a work. No way they paid him that much. They released the number at their press conference as a way to build hype, hoping mainstream media will pick the story up. Maybe WWE will twist the story and say if he beats the Big Show he earns $20 mil or something like that. Mayweather is not worth that much money on a wrestling ppv. Vince isn't going to pay him that much because he's in the business to make $ himself, plus the boys in the locker room would be pissed.

[Slyfox696]

I don't know if the $20 million dollars is a work number or not, but he is what I DO know.

Last year, with Trumps appearance, Wrestlemania generated 230,000 more buys than 2006's WM 22 (1,188,000 to 958,000). If you multiply that 230,000 by $54.95 (which is this year's Wrestlemania price), then that's an additional $12.6 million dollars. However, you have to figure that part of those buys are going to be coming in at the HD price, so that'll raise the price, PLUS, boxing has much more of a crossover appeal into wrestling than Donald Trump, meaning potential more PPV buys, and more converted fans.

I don't know if the $20 million dollars is accurate (and I suspect it's not), but even if it is, $7 million dollar loss is a drop in the hat to a company that generated $485.7 million in revenue in 2007, especially for the exposure and possible additional fans the WWE will get for Mayweather.

[Taker316]

Well i for one cant see him makin 20 million just for that 1 match. I mean like stated above all the wrestlers would be absolutely pissed at that, and i can't see Vince paying him or anyone for that matter 20 million to make 1 match appearence.

Also, like someone said above it could all be a work to get more publicity and if that's the case then seems to me its workin pretty damn good. So far i've seen on msn.com, yahoo, many of them websites an article along the line of *Boxer gets $20 million to wrestle at wrestlemania*. So whatever they're doing it seems like its working.

[Slim Pickns]

Actually its not. No one in the WWE has proven that they can draw as much as Mayweather. His fight with the Golden Boy produced some of the biggest PPV numbers ever. With boxing being all about the main event and nothing about the undercard, you can give most of that credit to the undefeated champion of the world. This is a risk, because they angle with Show could flop, but if you're gonna take a risk you might as well take it on the biggest current draw in the world.

[Derf]

If you ask me, I think this is a load of crap. So many other people could have made that money for so much better. I'm not knocking Mayweather, but he's a real life Boxer, and between him and show, I don't see a real life Match. So really all he is is a name. His real skill won't be brought into the equasion. If Vince had $20 Million for talent, why not spread it out for some other big draws? Hogan and Austin 1 on 1 anyone? I can see them wanting to take the risk, but I can't see it being worth it in the long run.

[Frank the Frowner]

They're talking about it on PTI now. They basically agree that there's no way Mayweather got $20 million... at most, $2 million. Wilbon said he's not a big name where $20 million would be a price to bring him in at. Kornheiser expressed concern about the Big Show throwing him around, and then said he didn't think he'd be getting in the ring and actually wrestling, but hyping the crowd up... which shows how out of touch he is.

This story is really starting to pick up steam. Considering the fact that ESPN's finally picked up on it, it should be really interesting to see how things play out from here.

[Saiquan]

This is crap.There is no way in the world that Vince Mcmahon is paying hium $20million.Vince wud have tried to get God himdelf for that much.He could 've got Austin and Rocky for that.The most that Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon would've payed him IMO is $7million at the most.

[Esteban Ochocinco]

It could be true. Boxers get big time pay days for single fights, and this is getting into the upper tier of those pay days. Say Wrestlemania does 1,000,000 buys worldwide. If WM is 50 dollars and 75 dollars for HD, you're talkig in the range of 60,000,000 dollars on worldwide pay per view buys. That's not talking merchandise sold, ticket sales, and all the free publicity the WWE is getting. Plus, the 20,000,000 is not for WM, it's for the six weeks of shows leading up, and the press conference that is getting a ton of free publicity for the company.

20,000,000 is a big price tag that is going to make a monster look bad. Honestly, how does this make Big Show look good in anyway. If he loses, he's beat down by a guy that's 5'8", if he wins, he beats upa guy that's 5'8". It's a lose lose situation for one of the WWE's top heels.

Do I think Vinnie Mac paid Mayweather 20 Mill, you bet, he's desperate for buys and wants to send a message to MMA, but I think there will be repricusions within the company. Guys wrestling 200 plus days a year making 6 figures probably aren't going to be too happy when they see an outsider making more in 6 weeks then they would in 6 decades. Thank goodness Roddy Piper still isn't in the WWE.

[RKO Orton]

I do believe that Mayweather received a hefty sum of money for his appearance, but I don't believe he received 20 million for his apperances. He may have received 15 million, but not 20. It just seems too much money for a guy like Mayweather. I do believe they will get more buys for Wrestlemania, a lot more, but I don't think Mayweather is getting $20 million.

But maybe Vince is desperate and he is giving $20 to Mayweather, I could be wrong.

[IrishEnglishman24]

you don't know how much Vince payed God for his role in mcmahon/HBK.

no-one deserves to get $20 million for 6 weeks work though. i'd do it for $200000...i work cheap. is he worth 4x the rating of Donald Trump though?

in my opinion no, because as Shocky said...he's going to make show look weak or unimportant. no-one will care if he wins and he'll look stupid if mayweather wins.

[Vince on Cenas Dick]

He deserves it Mayweather actually is getting Vince the coverage he wants and needs, Espn and other Media outlets. mayweather also helped vince out by asking 50 cent to come out and walk him out to his match just like he did when he vs del hoya. Why Pay The rock so much when he gonna leave. While they could work something out with Money where he could have a recurring role.
Me personally will watch wrestlemania to see 50 and maywheather

[IrishEnglishman24]

like 50 cent's doing it for free...really he's getting a big payday as well so why wouldn't he.

he's getting coverage but trump did the same for $5million and he's a more internationally reknowned name than floyd mayweather. hell, 50 cent's a more reknowned name than floyd mayweather. he's not going to generate $20million so why pay him more than what he's worth

add to that unless show absolutely destroys mayweather and 50 cent as well just for fun, he's not coming out of the match looking in any way respectable. IMO, they dropped the ball big time by having a returning show vs mayweather.

[klunderbunker]

I'm not sure what to believe here. I'm more than willing to believe that Vince would pay this much if he thought it would bring in more buys. On the other hand, $20 million? That's just too much for me to believe. Not to mention, I may be overlooking it, but I dont think I ever remember Vince making a big deal out of his payrate for anyone. I think Trump's came out for last year, and wasn't it something like $5 million? No way Mayweather is 4x Trump.

[IrishEnglishman24]

trump did it for free technically because the 5 mil went to charity. but no, i don't think floyd is worth 4 of the Don...maybe not even 2 of the Don. i'm sure in due time slyfox will come by with a detailed overview of what trump did to the buyrates for WM23.

i suppose the way of looking at it was that with trump, you got lots of publicity, but the wrong crowd. mayweather has interest of sports fans so that is the only way i'd justify earning more than trump

[klunderbunker]

Yeah I forgot the charity part of it. I think Trump did bring in a lot of the buys last year, as he brings mania a lot of mainstream attention it usually wouldn't get. He's a nationally known figure in more than one area. Mayweather is a huge name in sports, but that's all he's big in. He'll definately help buys out, but not that much. He's a big name, but I don't think he's as big as Trump.

[IrishEnglishman24]

he's not. i mean i only know him because of his last win vs ricky hatton. bigger in america. but i think because he's big in sports, he's attracting the right type of interest. i don't see business men watching trump at mania, whereas boxing fans might...maybe to see floyd have his ass handed to him but still buy it. trump...well dont tell me u didnt want it to be proven it was a wig

[klunderbunker]

Lol yeah the hair did have a lot to do with the appeal of it, althoguh there was no way Trump was getting shaved. Another aspect was with Austin in the match, you knew he was taking a stunner. This match just doesn't have that. Big show is a star in wrestling, but outside of the wrestling world, he's at best barely known, just for a few cameos in movies. I think that might slow this down a bit as well, Show not being a household name.

[IrishEnglishman24]

im not happy it's show personally. it's going to take any momentum he could have and ruin it. i think as big show/shane-o-mac vs mayweather/mysterio it could have worked as show could have been put over by rey respectably, with shane taking the mayweather aspect of the match. who cares if shane's knocked cold...mayweather has knocked out a billionaire's son and show still looks credible

[klunderbunker]

I agree. Id've liked shane vs mayweather better. Show is a good wrestler, but he just doesn't have that pop to him. His best asset is his size, but in this case that's almost a detriment. The size difference almost makes it laughable to look at them facing off, but it does make an interesting storyline. I think there could've been a better choice for an athlete though, just not sure who that would be.

[ECWildsider]

A 20 Million dollar pay off for a guy who lacks any kind of charisma. WOW! After multiple attempts to sell this piece of crap match the WWE should come up with an injury for Big Show and cancel the match and his undeserved paycheck.

[IrishEnglishman24]

yeah. it's ridiculous to think of the two of them. mayweather can't really reach show to fight him properly.

i disagree though. show has pop to him, but only if he's used the way he should be, as a bully who enjoys destroying people. overused monster heel gimmick, but show is good enough to get away with it because he's got the ability in the ring. that's why i dont like the thought of him being used in a celeb match. the focus isnt about the return of a monster, it's the fight with a midget

[klunderbunker]

That's very true. Show definatley has the ability in the ring, moreso than any of the other super heavyweights right now. He could pull this off against a large sized athlete, maybe someone 6'3 or so. Mayweather is what, 5'8? It's just not realistic. Like you said, Show is just too damn big for mayweather to fight. All he could do is pound away at the stomach, and if that doesn't work he's just screwed. Show could simply just extend his arm and hold mayweather off.

[IrishEnglishman24]

mark henry would have been a better option. big dude, ex-olympian, no-one gives a damn if he loses and short enough to be hit. ok, mayweather could maybe crack a rib or two in a bare-fist fight but show shouldnt lose. as has been said, he looks stupid for fighting a 5'8, 147lb boxer and winning, and ridiculous if he loses. i mean, size and weight wise i put up better stats to face show at 6'1, 200lbs and i'd job to him for $200000 and save a fortune.

[klunderbunker]

One thing I am glad about this is that while it's officially a wreslting match, Mayweather hasn't had anyone "training" him. It'll definately be interesting to see how he handles himself in the ring. I still say this whole thing is being handled wrong. The segments on monday were done so badly, and actually a boxing match between the two might be more realistic. Also on a side note, who is the face and heel in this thing?

[IrishEnglishman24]

no clue. show's probably heel cos of the rey angles. but he's too popular off a comeback and people hate mayweather.

i agree...mayweather looks awful in the ring as though he's genuinely scared. in a fist fight the guy would kill show. at least make him look cocky enough to pull off the arrogance he's trying to by saying he can beat show. i mean you gotta try to mean it even if the guy is 3x your weight and 1'4 taller when you're saying you can

[klunderbunker]

Yeah. No way Mayweather isn't going over in this, but I want to see if wwe can pull that off without completely ending any credibility show has. What will be interesting to me is if Mayweather accidently messes up and throws a real punch and connects. Either show will go crazy and half kill him, or he'll be out cold. I want to see the match, which I guess is what Vince is looking for.

[IrishEnglishman24]

i dont think it can. i dont like celebrities in the ring as they make the wrestler look bad. if he connects with a real punch, show will work stiff with him and given the weight difference, that would destroy mayweather. i think it'll have been discussed, after all, he has de la hoya to think off and can't afford show to kill him.

i'm away here. might continue this tomorrow

[klunderbunker]

I'd heard they were trying to bring in De La Hoya in as well. I think he might've been a better option. If nothing else he'd be a clear cut face in the match, and he's a credible boxer also. Might've worked better, hard to say though.

[IrishEnglishman24]

turned it down. probably didnt want to give anything up before their rematch that could work against him in build up like mayweather claiming 2 wins over him.

surprised they didnt try ricky hatten to have a wrestling rematch.

[klunderbunker]

Yeah I heard about that. For De La Hoya it's probably better that he stayed clear. Wrestling doesn't really seem to fit in with the whole golden boy image. Hatten would be interesting, but I think of the options available, mayweather was teh best choice.

[IrishEnglishman24]

hatten vs mayweather i meant. hatten instead of de la hoya. DLH owns wrestling magazines though so im sure if he hadnt been fighting mayweather this year he might have

[klunderbunker]

That would've been interesting. I'd like to see something where there's a clear cut heel and face. The way it's going now is too russoish for me. The lack of faces and heels was always just bad to me

[IrishEnglishman24]

or even just for fun, bring in evander again and have him team up with someone, and split mayweather's $20mil and get more publicity for your money.

i think it's disgusting that 1 man earns that much though, for 6 years let alone wks

[Bud78]

Look there is NO WAY that Floyd is pulling in 20 mil from Vince for a few Raw appearances, some publicity stunts and a 15 minute match at Wrestlemania. The logistics of the whole thing are completely ridiculous. To invest that type of many into one personality is just not a good business decision. I am just getting more and more angry looking at all the posts. BEing a huge fight fan I know what Floyds take home checks are 20 million is the range of what he usually makes for an event. An event that HE HEADLINES, and event where he IS THE MAIN EVENT AND POSSIBLY THE ONLY LEGITIMATE FIGHT ON THE CARD, and an event where its his name and his opponent that sell buys and he therefore gets a cut of those PPV buys. Wrestlemania involves dozens of talents that all need to be paid, are any of you really dumb enough to think that Vince would double his payroll for the entire show on one man. He didn't get to where he is doing things like that. Floyd is getting a couple mil, a chunk of the PPV buys and a chance to dink around and have fun, which if any of you know anything about Floyd, he likes to do more than anything. I also agree Shane O Mac should have been involved. Here comes the money versus Floyd Money Mayweather, would have been sweet.

[IrishEnglishman24]

if mayweather takes home 20 mil normally, wouldn't wwe know that if you wave that cash at him and he's in. if you were offered $20m, you'd do it despite the fact you'd settle for a couple, and you'd damn sure take it when it gets you publicity, which from my limited knowledge of floyd, he likes as well. to quote you, mayweather likes having fun, why wouldnt he like having fun with a big payday and some extra media minutes for doing it.

as for doubling his payroll, what's $20million to Vince. WM will make it and he's taking a risk that if he can keep a few of the extra buys that mayweather generates. i don't think he's worth $20million, but i'd say wwe might pay it to guarantee his appearance

[Bud78]

And the only people who HATE Mayweather anymore are all those dumb brits who shelled out their money for a plane ticket, hotel room, and match ticket to watch Floyd beat the sausage and peas out of Ricky Hatton, only to drink their bank accounts worth and lose everything else in the casinos. This is why America works.

[IrishEnglishman24]

i understood all that up until the part where the brits losing money explained america working. but anyway

answer me this though. if you wanted someone and knew his normal earnings, wouldnt you match it? and if you were offered big cash for something you wanted to do, would you turn it down? that is why i can see wwe actually paying that much...they offered and mayweather said thanks.

would i pay it? no. because i dont feel anyone deserves that much money no matter how good they are at boxing. besides, i cant afford it after shelling out all that money to watch hatten lose.

[Bud78]

So Vince is going to pay Floyd Mayweath 15 million more dollars than he has ever payed anyone for a one time match, its just not feasible. HE is getting paid, but its not 20 million. I understand your point but it just aint so, I'm sorry.

[Bud78]

Go to the Grand Rapids Press (Mayweathers hometown) website and check out their article on this situation as here and various other places you will see anyone with half an f'ing brain know hes not pulling in 20 mil for wrestlemania.

[mark4life]

I totally agree with you on this one. For someone as a boxer to come in the pro wrestling world makes me sick. Honestly, like any good marketing ploy from the WWE, the name Meaweather in the sports world coming in to a show like Wrestlemania is a promoter's dream! Sell tickets! I hope the payoff won't be horrendus for the fan's sake but we have to wait and see. Personally I would like to see the Big Show work with someone from within the company rather than just a media side attraction. As far as the $20 million payoff, I have a feeling that's just blown out to media proportions. Maybe, $1 million or $2 tops.

[Mighty NorCal]

I dont belive it for a second. TWENTY FUCKING MILLION DOLLARS??? Thats probably more than double what all the wrestlers will make for WM combined. And of course WWE reports that Mayweather is making 20 million. Just like they report that Shawn Micheals still weighs 230 pounds. Pro wrestling is all about stretching numbers and creating preceptions that things are much bigger then they actually are, and there is no way I belive Mayweather is making 20 mil, if not jus becuase Wrestling is about fake bloated numbers, for the fact that I dont think it would go over well at all with the guys backstage. No way I belive this.

[TheOneBigWill]

E.S.P.N. ran a report on Mayweather and the World Wrestling Entertainment project with him at Wrestlemania. They basically ran down the W.W.E., saying that they projected him at making 20 million with this appearance, then revealed that he was actually only making 1 million.

So yeah, it just goes to show you how outrageous the W.W.E. loves to stretch storylines into purely stupid figures.

Furthermore, in my opinion Mayweather isn't even a big enough name to be making a mere million, let alone the ungawdly figure of 20 large. Seriously, if McMahon blew 20 on Mayweather, I think he needs to just sell the company to a street bum. Because he'd be wasting money like it was nothing.

[Derf]

Honestly, I don't watch Boxing, so I don't know what a boxer would generally make. But for 1, $20 million is a retarded number for anyone. For that much money, you could probably get your long awaited Hogan Austin match. Plus, after this past RAW, watching Mayweather run down Big show on the tron, that was the worst promo I have ever heard. All it was was Mayweather saying "I'm Floyd Money Mayweather! First I broke your nose, then I'll break your jaw! First I broke your nose, then I'll break your jaw! First I broke your nose, then I'll break your jaw! I'm Floyd Money Mayweather!I'm Floyd Money Mayweather! First I broke your nose, then I'll break your jaw!"
Most repetitive promo ever. My best friend looked at me, and said the most logical four words he's ever said. "Go back to Boxing!"

[Bud78]

Don't get me wrong Floyd Matweather is a ridiculous talent and really shouldn't be disrespected but think about it this way, if he could make 20 million dollars for a one time appearance for WWE do you really think he would risk getting in a boxing ring and getting punched in the head for real, numerous times, it's not that hard to understand these things, just think. And for Vince to pay a few million for is appearance is well worth it.

By the way the guy made 50 million dollars boxing last year, he is a big enough name to bring in a couple million.

[Danmen001]

Looks like yet ANOTHER rumor to circulate before wrestlemania. This time of course WWE is endorsing it because it sounds interesting in the storyline. I didn't think Vince was that big of an iddiot to pay 20 mill to mayweather just to make a few appearances and win a exhibition type match at mania. Not to mention the painful promo on Raw, it hurt my ears listening to that. "I broke your nose last time, this time I'm gonna break you jaw." Over and over again. Maybe Show should break Mayweather's jaw so he can't talk. On the bright side, he migth bring on some boxing fans to the WWE.

[HBK-aholic]

I really don't believe this is true. 20 million for one match? I don't think so. And if I'm honest, I'd never heard of Mayweather up until this anyway. Shows how much of a boxing fan I am. However there are plenty of boxing fans, and he will generate quite a lot of views of WM, but really, 20 million is way too much. For one match especially, he won't be doing that much, and I'd expect Show to carry the match more than anything else. We'd maybe see a few punches, before Show took over and stopped him.

Furthermore, I've heard that this is just a big rumour, and it's closer to 1 million. No way would I agree with him being paid 20 million. Look at the wrestlers who do that every single week? And get paid nothing like that. If this somehow turned out to be true, I wouldn't be surprised if there was arguments between wrestlers and the management over it, as wrestlers could rightly feel this isn't fair.

It IS 1 million dollars. Thats what they're giving him to be at Wrestlemania, involved in this storyline. E.S.P.N. ran this report. Don't ask me how they know, just know its true because its their jobs to know the truth.

Furthermore, it doesn't make you look silly or anything of the sort to not know who Mayweather is. We're WRESTLING fans.. as such, Mayweather just looks silly to most of us. He does to me, thats for sure. The promo he cut on Raw was HORRIBLE. You could tell it was taped, and all he kept doing was repeating.. "I broke ya nose, now I'ma break ya jaw."

I get it already, your a boxer, you break jaws. :rolleyes: Personally, I don't even think Mayweather is going to be capable of REACHING Big Show's face, to touch his jaw. But somehow it'll be the biggest camera-opt of the night and sadly all of us are going to have to sit through, likely a 20 minute crap fest.

[IrishEnglishman24]

i agree. it has all potential to be worse than the playboy bunny match, and it doesnt even have melina to make it look better.

it's going to be the one match that will destroy the credibility of the returning big show and that's just a crime. at least with rey he had a shot of looking respectable.

given it's $1m which despite my reasoning that wwe might act actually do it, i believe is far more credible than $1m, where did people pull $20m from
