$400,000 minimum just for starting the fight and losing :/
Crazy.

 

[Crayo]

That's insane. I hope he wins though.

 

[Tzesi]

I doubt he will earn only 400k to be honest.

 

[Crayo]

Sponsorships, media and all of that will probably add on a healthy sum. Imagine how much Wrestlemania pays then if he was apparently tempted by the WM pay-check for appearing this year.

 

[seabs]

Brocks was one of the top 3 draws behind Manny and mayweather in the ppv market wasn't he? I'm surprised he doesn't pull in more per fight tbh.

 

[Crayo]

True, Brock is a massive draw. One of the main reasons I think Vince is going to want him back more than ever.

 

[seabs]

Yeah there is alot of money in Brock. I'm not sure he'd want to come back though especially after seeing this :

He says he wants to label himself as a UFC fighter.

 

[Tzesi]

Brock was massive draw before his lost to Cain Velasquez and before his surgery.

 

[seabs]

Brock was massive draw before his lost to Cain Velasquez and before his surgery.

That doesn't surprise me to be honest. Brock's main selling point was who was going to knock the monster off his pedestal.

 

[Crayo]

When was that press conference? I think he'd still be tempted to make a return though. I doubt full time but a WM match is definitely on the cards.

 

[seabs]

No idea on the date but it was the pre fight from the ovreem fight and it was uploaded on the 29th so I guess really recent.

 

[Crayo]

Hmm bad news, still think the WM pay check will tempt him. Rock this year, Lesnar next. Calling it.

 

[Mike.]

he got beat <snip>

I don't think Lesnar will ever return to the WWE besides for a guest appearance. I bet that the next time you see Lesnar, he will be the guest host of Mondayt Night RAW.

Or in WM 29 ^^
