From the article:

"Mayweather incited the couple hundred of already hyped fans at Staples Center by whipping out a thick wad of cash and repeatedly tossing $100, $50 and $20 bills into the crowd that had nearly as many women as men."

It makes me think the $20m figure is a work. Since when does the WWE release contract details to the press? The McMahons are better business people than to give away 30-40% of their PPV Gross to one guy on the card.

Good point.. It makes no sense, no way they can ever get another celeb for WM for under 20m.

its a total work, just to over hype this who gimmick. However with details like these being made public knowledge like this, I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Mayweather gets audited in 2009

What a random fucking detail. Where was this article from, The I Fucking Swear To God Wrestling Isn't Gay, Just Look At All The Chicks There Tribune?

I don't believe that they paid 20mill. Must be fake.

[conman823]

it reads like a very well prepared press release from WWE. Even if he was given a large figure up front and back side deals on Merch and buy rates it wouldn't be 20mil.

If they were gonna have a 20 million dollar budget, you might as well just pay The Rock to wrestle one last match. At least with that you'd get buys from wrestling fans. If you buy 'Mania to watch Mayweather, you're an asshole.
