15M!?!?

The most guys usually get is 2M (that’s what Brock, Taker, Goldberg have gotten). He’s getting 7.5x that.

 

[Sheppy]

I'm not watching that trash.

 

[Cor]

I bet Cain is getting 15M as well.

15M, work one match, then get a large downside while you are gonna for a year for surgery.

Fury -> Legitimate world champion
Goldberg, Taker -> Fake world champions

Brock probably gets more than $2MM

 

[Kimi]

That amount seems reasonable for a Fury match. It's a bit less than his boxing deal pays him, but close enough.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

No wonder so many full time talents who are more progressive still go to these. It’s probably the equivalent of a lot of their downsides, and in the case of top guys, probably at least 25% of their downsides in one show.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I think the issue is that is a lot of money for one match and one angle that isn’t going to do much of anything for them.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Sounds like Eric Bischoff's already fired.

Brother Love just took his place as head of Smackdown creative.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

They literally only hired him to keep him away from AEW. He’s done nothing but sit in catering every week.

 

[TNT87]

That sure was fast.

 

[ColePens]

Daily Mail is pretty garbage isn't it?

 

[ColePens]

If i'm not mistaken, and boy i'm going gut instinct on mobile here, Daily Mail is laughable. And it's probably 1.5m, to which would make a lot more sense.

There's a reason why for example any European football transfer rumors from them are banworthy on several messageboards.

As if AEW would even want him at 64 years old, when they're specifically gunning for an 18-34 audience.

I mean, Bischoff's main objective when he was running WCW was that exact demo so there is at least a potential interest for AEW for him as an adviser of sorts.

20 years ago.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

20 years ago.

That doesn't mean that there isn't some value to what he has. And honestly, it's really not that much different an approach. You just have to have some form of a check on it and someone else to properly use the approach to what is today's audience. But it's a subtle tweak in content not some major overhaul.

 

[Kimi]

You know what almost killed WCW before Bischoff? Bring back a guy who had been out of the business for years and was complete out of touch with what the modern fans wanted.

 

[GKJ]

Bischoff wasn’t even up on the product, and I’m not sure the business for that matter. Everyone knew he wasn’t going to last.

Exactly..

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Bischoff literally just moved to CT. This is pretty f***ed up I hope he has alot of guaranteed money in his deal

the Sun in UK is reporting £12MILLION (which is $15.3M)
dude this guy is a HUGE in the boxing world. he makes even more.
theres no way he accepts the fight for whatever Undertaker is making.

Even less reliable than the Daily Fail.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Tyson (the one people actually knew) made $3m and Mayweather made around $5m (figure was inflated by his camp and they claimed $20m). Yeah, I’m calling bullshit on $15m. I know the Saudi Arabia factor wasn't a thing for Tyson or Mayweather, but $15m still seems like a stupid amount of money.

 

[GKJ]

They’re giving Anthony Joshua $75m, so don’t underestimate them.
