    Nobody gave a **** when RJJ came out in "the matrix" or shannon briggs did "the transporter" or when james toney did "ali". Nobody gives a **** when margarito does a gatorade commercial. he made some side money by acting. It was not interfering with his boxing career it was one night of work (maybe a few nights of rehersal). You people do realize that wrestling is not real and that Floyd was just picking up a side acting gig right?

    I have no clue. It wasn't even a big deal to me if he did it or not. Anything that gets boxing some exsposure is a good thing though.

    I've seen like 300 threads talking about how he is ducking Cotto because he did WWE. Like one thing has anything to do with the other.

    For $20 millions? I think that most people can understand and don't care about.

    I could give two shits.....if I can get people to 50 bucks to watch me prance around a ring with a 7foot man in tights then so be it. Its one of those things that im indifferent towards, I don't think it hurt his career or legacy but then again it did'nt gain him any real supporters on the boxing end. Basically it fattened his pockets.

    Acting, when done reasonably well, has a degree of respect to it. Wrasslin' is just silly no matter how you cut it.

    The number one guy in the sport always has to be subject to more scrutiny than the "average" champion or beltholder. Especially when #1 is arrogent, has a big mouth, and is obviously doing all of the other activities while he has a pertinent contender to deal with.

    He didn't. It was 2 million according to all the wrestling sites, with some added bonuses depending on the PPV success and buy rate. Even Tyson only made 3.5 million or something like that. He didn't actually participate in a match though.....

    thats their typical moronic thinking ... a man like hulk hogan who brought mcmahn millions in a years time ..was lucky to make 10 million a year at his best ! ... and thats stretching it considering his over all value is like 500 million ...
