bully Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Mayweather will be earning serious dough for his 'role' but not half as much as WWE will coin in from the exposure and ppv uptake. Last year WWE made record profits from it's Wrestlemania ppv due to Donald Trump's involvement, I expect they could surpass those figures with the Mayweather story, it's already hit SSN and we're talking about it on here! do you believe that crap JG ? Wrestling is not sport it is entertainment, there are storylines, characters etc etc nobody, bar some children maybe, 'believes it'. If you dont take it too seriously it is no worse than the 'entertainment' called soap operas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmygreaves Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 do you believe that crap JG ? Not especially - I just thought it was really funny...... It reminded me of the Hulk Hogan vs Rocky thing in Rocky III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleshill_Villa24 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I think the WWF/WWE is quality. I hate it when people moan that it's not real! - Obviously it's not - it's entertainment, storylines etc... It's no where near as good as the old days during the late 80s/early 90s then the Stone Cold/Rock era, but it's still pretty funny IMO. Rocky and Mike Tyson have made appearances in the past - Mayweather is obviously the next in line for Wrestlemania! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 do you believe that crap JG ? What a wonderfully naive comment! Its not about "believing" it, films aren't real either but people still watch them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he earns more cash than wrestlers.. I'm sayin the WWE get greater publicity (EG this thread).. As does Mayweather Promotion's!

The_Rev Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 The way i read it is that you seem to think that Floyd Mayweather, currently the #1 fighter in the world, a boxer at the absolute peak of his powers right now having beaten some serious competition the likes of De La Hoya and Hatton in the last year would be going to a travelling circus for free in order to get publicity. Trust me, the deal will be very much on his terms and he will be doing very well out of it. If he is going to Wrestlemania with The Big Show then Floyd will be taking home ten times the money that The Big Show is. To put it in perspective, Wrestlemania is the #1 WWE pay per view. It's record takings on PPV were last year and they were $3.9m. Floyd Mayweather's PPV revenues were $120m for the fight with De La Hoya and $47m for the Hatton bout. Mayweather sells tickets. He isnt a 16 year old kid on work experience seeking publicity for a new buisness and asking for favours. He is a man at the top of his profession. His name alone is enough for his promotion buisness to see him alright when he retires from fighting as the people who he will be dealing with when he does that kind of thing already know who he is. WWE is a bit of fun, a lot of cash, and i dare say a few chats with the boys behind the scenes on how they organise events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr10 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I agree with the above... i dont no the figures but at i geuss i would say the "travelling circus" racks in more than floyd does annually... Vince Mac (owner of WWE) is a billionaire.. must be some travelling circus ay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Nice! I'm not the greatest or anything when it comes to boxing. But these two are in a different weight class aren't they? So in who's weight class was the first fight fought in, surely they'd have a huge advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in who's weight class was the first fight fought in, surely they'd have a huge advantage? Hatton fights at 140. Mayweather currently fights at 147. They fought at 147 last time. Mayweather started out fighting at 130 though, in terms of weight, Hatton is naturally bigger. Weight wasn't really a factor in the fight though. Would like to see them fight at 140 though, give Hatton the best chance possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real figure I think is $1-$2 million + a % of the buy rate. I also forgot to mention that Money Mayweather will take Hatton apart again.
