Title: Does BSN pay HHH more then Ronnie?
Post by: Bigger Business on June 10, 2006, 04:03:27 AM
99% of the people that buy supps arnt ever going to compete in a BB show. Most supp companies endorse athletes/teams of more recognition, baseball, football etc. but theyre never in the mags we buy. I'd also be curious to find out who muscletech etc. sponsors in the other sporting arenas and how the endorsement figures compare to the Bodybuilders they sponsor.

How much does BSN pay Ronnie compared to HHH?

EAS use to feature athletes/non bodybuilders in musclemedia all the time.....cant argue with their success.

If I was starting a supp company...the bodybuilding market would be the last place I'd throw 'lots' of $$$, at least at this point of time.

I have no insider knowledge, but my guess would be that HHH gets significantly more.  It only makes sense.

My guess would be Hellmotherfucking YEAH they pay Herman Howard Hughes or whatever the fuck his name is HHH more money!  Think about it, a pro wrestler that reaches out to billions of people around the world in PRO WRESTLING, or a juiced out middle aged black man who is loved by the bodybuilding community of about 10,000 people total?

yup. those are good commercials. except the 'cowboy' in it looks too much like heath ledger, so everytime he's on screen i think he's a gay cowboy. i mean...not that takin it in the ass makes you unmanly. i'm not gonna tell you how to live your life.

I thought the man in the center on one of the sides was Ron Reagan.

In the one commercial where he rips his shirt off, Triple H looks like he's 20% bodyfat and works out twice a week.   He must definitely be *off* these days.

It is always sad seeing a once ripped wrestler trying to make a come back carrying extra body fat.  Kevin Nash, Razor Ramon

one guy with a sick body is Brock Lesnar, he was smart and left wrestling before getting burned out or injured.

I often wondered if it was a "smart" move given the timing. Vince doesnt lose money, ever. But I know he was not pleased w/Brock's decision. My guess is if Lessnar came back, Vince would low ball him pretty painfully! It's always a shot in the arm for the "sport" though when someone does comeback...

lesner's been trying to come back for along time but Vince won't pay him what he wants and I think Brock signed a no compete contract so he can't wrastle in TNA, last i remember reading, which was a long time ago, is that Lesner was gonna wrastle in Japan but Vince was still trying to stop him cause the no compete is supposed to be worldwide or something.

The "cowboy" in those commercials is retired rodeo champion Ty Murray. He's actually considered the greatest of all time in that sport and the first multi-millionaire competitor from his endorsements. He's been dating the singer Jewel for several years, so I don't think he's gay.

As I remember Ronnie got 1 million dollars for 2 years that is when he bought his Bentley GT. Triple H is definitely getting more.  I know Hulk Hogan Use to get 20 Million dollars per year when he was under Ted turner’s payroll in the WCW and then they brought Bret heart and paid him even more.  That was in the 90s

I heard that HHH is getting 50mil a year from WWE but not sure

Again, no specific knowledge but I call b.s. on that number for Ronnie.  There is NO way (in my opinion) he got even close to that kind of money.

God I hope Ronnie didn't buy that Bentley with the money he got from BSN if it was only a million.  After taxes and agent fees maybe $500,000.  The Bentley was half of that or close.  Why do these guys go out and blow there money like that.  What does he need a Bentley for.  He doesn;t have the lifestyle to have one.  He has numerous other cars and Hummers.  What a dumb move just to show off.  If this is an indication on howhe spends his money, within 5 years after he retires he will be broke.  And that's if he lives that long.  I hope he invested at least some of the money he has made.

The Bentley is about $150K nevermind maintence & inurance  :-\ nice car and all but you'e lucky if its worth half that in 5 years no matter how well maintained it is .

People who are car enthusiasts do not care how much a car is worth in five years.(unless they are a collector or investor) You guys are obv not car guys and look for the practicality in buying  an automobile. If you are spending 150 k on a car you do not give a shit about appreciation and mileage.

Ronnie wanted a Bentley. Ronnie bought one


who cares

Acutally Only is a car guy so forget that statement. Narc are you into cars?

You have to clue as to how much Ronnie paid for the Bentley. You don't know if he got a discount or it was part of a promotion package.  What car(s) do you drive? who is to say what another human needs are? I am sure that if you look through your life we will find a lot of things "not needed" that you hold dear to you.

So lets not come off as "I am above that", look in the mirror then talk.

Doesn't that hold true for most cars? yet millions of American buy new cars every year. I would even venture a guess you have bought a car or two in your life time. 

If a guy makes 60K a year and bought a car for 35K would most americans call that excessive? Based on his spending habits I would say he is no better or worse than the average person. (percentage wise ofcourse)

You guy don't think before you speak.

well HHH married Stephanie McMahan so I'm sure he has more $$$ than that plus he's set himself up to be "the Man" with the WWE, you know he's the "king of King's"  Last year alot of guys were really bitching about him....he's set for life.

FYI...

Bentley is deal with a dealer.  Shawn did it with the Diablo.
Hummer was free except for taxes.
Cop equals nice repos and cool stuff.

Case Study I

My bud is a cop and drives a BMW 500 series and his lady has a 230 Benz plus they have an Explorer.  Guess which 2 of the 3 are repos?

Case Study II

Ronnie has spoken on several occasions that $120,000+sponsor dollars or whatever isnt that much money.  He is talking about the O winnings.  As said before... the man is an accountant and I'm willing to bet he knows more about accting  and handling his money than 95% of the pop.... as a biologist would know more bio than 95% of the pop. 

thanks for the info

Clearly onlyme and 240 have no clue about Ronnie's finances but they yet past judgement on him.  Deep down they want to say that it is his "culture". One of highest earners in the business can't even enjoy money without haters taking shots him :(

There is no way HHH is getting $50 mil a year, especially with the business being down for the last 2 to 4 years. Matter of fact, the WWE has been making cuts left and right, due to their financial situation. It is their fault though. Instead of making shitty b movies and wannabe rap records, they should be focusing on their in ring product. That is why I hardly ever watch anything of theirs anymore. The last time I ordered a WWE ppv was over 2 years ago. Fuck, even Wrestlemania sucks now.

I will be ordering ECW tomorrow though.

finally someone with some sense...HHH making 50 million a year and the WWE dropping out of the billion dollar company range....Just silly...Howard Stern said to Stone Cold in an interview when the WWF was at its peak, "what do you make 1-2 million a year"...Stone Cold said "come on Howard give me alittle more credit"...Well I read somewhere that he was making 2 million a year and the Rock was making 2 million a year...So you can put HHH in that catagory...But 50Million ::)I bet Vince doesn't even give himself a paycheck like that each year...Son in law or not he certainly isn't going to give HHH anywhere near that king of bank concidering that if he was to get divorced and leave the WWE, it wouldn't effect the WWE's bottom line one bit....

I didn't start this thread. Nor did I first mention the Bentley.  I could care less what he spends his money on.  It's his.  Sorry about the cost of the Bentley I was under the impression it was an Azure which my friend was looking at to buy and they are $300,000+ new.  At least the one they had at the LA Car Show.  And in regards to my cars and what I have owned.  I paid cash for every car I have ever had.  Including a mint condition 64' Lincoln Continental Convertible, Porsche 935 Slantnose (pictured), 2 BMW's, Mustang 5.0, a Tahoe, Cherokee, Bronco (pictured), 67' Firebird Convertible (pictured), Trans Am Limited Edition and others.  Some cars are bad investments.  Several of mine were not bad but very very good investments. 

And by the way dealers don't deal on Bentleys.  You pay what they ask for it unless you are some super superstar that they are overimpressed with.  The people who can afford to buy a Bentley do not ask for a deal.  You would get laughed out of the dealership

I heard The Rock made about 5-7 million in his best year from wrestling and wrestling related things, like merchandise. WCW paid guys huge amounts because they had much deeper pockets. The backing of a network.

I started this thread in order to highlight where the supplement companies dollers go. A lot of people assume that Muscletech for example because they are multi multi million doller Co. that they should give that money back in kind....like the Mr Olympia gets a million clams prizemoney(  ::) )....Well they do give bodybuilding a percentage of there promotional doller....

proportionate to the possible/calculated return.

Post by: onlyme on June 11, 2006, 01:36:41 AM
Where did I say money, so dont assume?  A deal can be a little promotional stuff.  How do you know?  If Shawn can do it, then MrO damn sure can... but it doesnt mean a discount price tag on a car.  BTW... if you check dupont...there are pre-owned Bentleys for sale.  How do you know Ronnie didnt get one with a couple 1000s on it.

I, too, dont care about the man's money... but you jimmys try to make this into some cultural BS or make like he doesnt have any common sense.   

Well you are right it might be used.  Never thought of that.  And again, Bentley does not do promotional discounts or trade-offs if that is what you were thinking was a possibility.  The richest people in the world drive Bentleys.  It is absoutely one of the top top status luxury cars.  The biggest names in entertainment, music, sports and the corporate world drives Bentleys and even a Rolls in their.  I can see where Ronnie driving around in a Bentley would absoutely look cool and increase his status wherever he goes.  It is the top.  And from that point of view I see entirely why he'd have one.  I grew up in a bankers house.  All I heard my mom and dad talk about was banking shit.  I always heard her talk about people buying "over their heads".  My mom and dad were kings of buying foreclosures.  One of my very first cars was bought at auction after it was repoed.  I don't really care what Ronnie spends money on like I said.  It's none of my business and I coudl care less.  The thing I was trying to exhibit is how someone goes off and buys a car that is very expensive and they are in an industry that at any moment could come crashing down on them and all income could end.  The they have to sell there nice stuff to survive.  It has happened to many athletes and celebrities.  Mr. T, Mike Tyson, Hammer and many others.  I just think its sad when it happens when it doesn't have to happen.

I heard that HHH is getting 50mil a year from WWE but not sure

that's completely not true.. Wrestlers don't get that much..

The reason Bret went to WCW because:

1) WCW is going to pay Bret $3 million dollars for 150 shows per year while currently WWF was paying him $1.5 million for 250 shows per year.

2) WWF is going through financial difficulties

3) Bret reluctant to leave WWF but at the same time he's not that happy with his character WWF is going to put him at.

4) Vince knew that he can't retain Bret and wanted him to lose the title before he leaves (Bret was the current WWF Champion). Vince refuses to leave an impression to the public that WCW is poaching one of his greatest talent (and champion).

5) and the infamous "screw-up" job at Survivor Series where Shawn Michael supposed to win the title from Bret via reverse pin move but the referee Earl Hebner called for the bell when Shawn puts Bret in a Sharp-shooter move.


I don't believe any wrestler got paid more than $10 million from the contract.

The Big show said that he was getting US$150K per year and Hogan US$20 mil when they were in the WCW and then they brought Bret heart for even a bigger amount that Hogan.  He said that I think 2 years ago when they were talking about the difference between the federations.

that will never happened.. No wrestler will get more than $10 million and that amount is pushing to the limit..

WWE refused to sign Lesnar because he wanted $5 million per year

Simon does make 36 to 40 mil a year on Idol. But don't compare the most popular show in the world to WWE. Besides he is co-owner of the show. Hulk, however, has been making in the 10 mil range since the 80's, according to his A&E biography. Though, some of it was endoresements and public speakings. HHH doesn't make anywhere near 50, probably 2 to 3.

Simon does make 36 to 40 mil a year on Idol. But don't compare the most popular show in the world to WWE. Besides he is co-owner of the show.
Exactly. Why would you just assume every top wrestling personality would make more than Simon Cowell?He's not just a tv judge, but the one who pitched the concept of American Idol to American television stations along with his partner. I don't watch myself, but I know the show has become a ratings juggernaut that crushes the competition in its time slot and brings in a huge amount of revenue for FOX.

It is always sad seeing a once ripped wrestler trying to make a come back carrying extra body fat.  Kevin Nash, Razor Ramon

one guy with a sick body is Brock Lesnar, he was smart and left wrestling before getting burned out or injured.

Lesnar is currently wrestling in Japan and is the IWGP World Champ.

God I hope Ronnie didn't buy that Bentley with the money he got from BSN if it was only a million.  After taxes and agent fees maybe $500,000.  The Bentley was half of that or close.  Why do these guys go out and blow there money like that.  What does he need a Bentley for.  He doesn;t have the lifestyle to have one.  He has numerous other cars and Hummers.  What a dumb move just to show off.  If this is an indication on howhe spends his money, within 5 years after he retires he will be broke.  And that's if he lives that long.  I hope he invested at least some of the money he has made.

You really must think this man is stupid mutherfucker don't you?!  He has invested his money in quite a few other avenues besides bodybuilding.  You tend to forget that for several years he was signed to Weider for $300 grand, and he makes quite a bit of change on motivational speaking to troubled youth.  The BSN contract is icing on the cake.  Some of his vehicles are given to him for promotional venues (not the Bentley).  Plus, he still has his pension & medical coverage from the Arlington Police department.  Being he does his own accounting work, I'm quite sure he finds the loopholes to find tax write-offs for quite a few of his leisure toys.  Bottom line, he along w/Cutler can enjoy a few of life's luxuries without worrying about going into the poor house.

I heard on ET that Simon Cowell from American Idol gets 36 million a year. I am sure a top guy in the WWE will get more

The Big show said that he was getting US$150K per year and Hogan US$20 mil when they were in the WCW and then they brought Bret heart for even a bigger amount that Hogan.  He said that I think 2 years ago when they were talking about the difference between the federations.

Let me get this straight, you are saying that a wrestler makes more money than the creator/owner of the top rated show in the world?

LOL, I laugh at you, puny brain HUMAN

As I remember Ronnie got 1 million dollars for 2 years that is when he bought his Bentley GT. Triple H is definitely getting more.  I know Hulk Hogan Use to get 20 Million dollars per year when he was under Ted turner’s payroll in the WCW and then they brought Bret heart and paid him even more.  That was in the 90s

I heard that HHH is getting 50mil a year from WWE but not sure

I heard the mods on this site get paid 75 million a year and Vinnie Goodrum makes about 250 million per show. And my high schol crossing guard retired and bought an island in the pacific.

Post by: Adam Empire on June 11, 2006, 02:30:41 PM
that's completely not true.. Wrestlers don't get that much..

The reason Bret went to WCW because:

1) WCW is going to pay Bret $3 million dollars for 150 shows per year while currently WWF was paying him $1.5 million for 250 shows per year.

2) WWF is going through financial difficulties

3) Bret reluctant to leave WWF but at the same time he's not that happy with his character WWF is going to put him at.

4) Vince knew that he can't retain Bret and wanted him to lose the title before he leaves (Bret was the current WWF Champion). Vince refuses to leave an impression to the public that WCW is poaching one of his greatest talent (and champion).

5) and the infamous "screw-up" job at Survivor Series where Shawn Michael supposed to win the title from Bret via reverse pin move but the referee Earl Hebner called for the bell when Shawn puts Bret in a Sharp-shooter move.


I don't believe any wrestler got paid more than $10 million from the contract.

You got it.  Bret Hart got 3 mil/year for 3 years.  Hogan got more, but not a ton more...  As for HHH, he make NO WHERE NEAR 50 million.  That is completely ignorant to post.  A payroll like that would put the WWE out of business.  Period.

As for Ronnie, I think Weider was paying him 300,000/year before he went to BSN.  I think I heard that he makes about 600,000/year with BSN for a two year contract.  Of course, he also sells vids, pics, and poses for more $$$.

He doesn't make 50 mil.  Maybe a couple million.  It makes better business sense to pay him a little only and give him stock options anyway.  He is married to a very rich woman/family.  No need to pull money out of the business that could be used to invest into the company and make more money...

I would even go so far as to guess that he wasn't paid that much for the BSN publicity at all.  He really loves BBing, so I think he may have done it for less $, just to get his face shown in a mag besides WWF monthly.

It's hard to believe weider would let Ronnie go without a fight. Sounds like BSN (figuratively) walked up to Ronnie on the street and said..."whatever theyre given ya...we'll dubble it!"

I have not read the article but I am sure his contract is over a number of years with a cancellation clause at any time. BSN is a fairly newer company, how could they offer ridiculous amounts of endorsement deals without any proven sales history.

I am sure Ronnie gets more than HHH although I think HHH has more mainstream notoriety. I am sure there is probably 1000 wrestling fans to every 1 BB fan...

Also compare the bodies, wouldn't you want to dish out more money to someone who could truly represent the supplement. There are still many, many, many naive young kids that pick up a mag, see and advertisement and think " If I use that I can be as big as him!!"

That's tough to say.  Not too long ago, no one knew who BSN was, now they're a top dog with the kiddies at GNC. 
A lot of companies are pissed though.  Soon guys could start pricing themselves out of contracts, and the companies will be forced to pay big for one "guy."  Meaning even less money for people who aren't top 5 in the world. 

MuscleTech is known to pay very well for the little guys.  Jeramy Freeman supposedly gets $50k still...

once again you prove how little you know!

do you think that we would be talking about BSN if Ronnie and HHH weren't signed to them?

ever heard of the term "start up cost"? They took a chance and went for the top dog and guess what: it seems to be paying off as far as getting attention.

You have to make a big splash in the supplement game or you end up on the "$5 price cart near the register at GNC".

If you are correct, and I do not think you are, BSN made the worst investment I have ever seen.   Ronnie is not worth even close to that.  His face and body being in ads will not amount to anywhere near that amount in sales. 

If you are paying an athlete to endorse your product it had better get you more in return that you have spent or you wasted a LOT of money.  To spend that much on Ronnie when they could have ANYONE else for a fraction of that would be utter foolishness.

I believe in paying the athletes but the numbers you are claiming are just silly.

Perhaps a company with that much money could put on a million dollar contest?
