    How many Boxing PPV's generate that kind of revenue each year? One? Two, maybe?
    Boxing is facing it's share of difficulty. Much of it, due to their boring, boring, boring match making.
    We won't even get into what's going to happen once Mayweather retires, which is two fights away according to him... There will be ZERO interest in boxing. There is NO ONE, other than Floyd, who is able to sell PPV's.
    The UFC already beat both Boxing, and the WWE, in PPV revenue in 2006...

    I don't think Boxing will die, but they really need to meditate hard on how they market their fighters.

    Wrestling on the other hand, I'm not so sure... I can easily envision a future, where there's no interest from the world in seeing something that is scripted.
    Either that, or they really have to change how they present it.

    That is the sad part with WWE losing money due to some bad projects. I was not very stoke about XFL it was a failed project that did not meet up to expectations. With some of the wrestlers dying due to drug abuse.

    Well his wife Linda is I think still in that millionaire status herself. Or I may be wrong and she is probably a billionaire still. Vince McMahon could lose money and would still wind up being wealthy as a millionaire.

    Truly, Vince McMahon has lost 750 million this year alone, source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/danalex...e-mcmahon-has-lost-750-million-in-two-months/

    Maybe Vince McMahon knows investment more than any of us joe schmoes, because I believe he is making long-term investment, Vince believes, shall be beneficial to the future of WWE. The 350 million lost in shares in one day, was due to investors lack faith in McMahon's deal with NBCUniversal, but stock shares fluctuate like crazy in entertainment businesses all the time, since WWE has no intrinsic value to people and their needs.

    It's true that markets often overreact and move securities and even entire markets too far in either direction temporarily. But it's also true that many captains of many public companies have gone down with their sinking ships. :D

    WWE has been sinking every since they lost some originality with the writers. I don't know why I just lost much of my interest in wrestling. Vince though is still going to still make money since there are still many hardcore fans of wrestling.

    WWE is a hit with the kids, i won't be surprised if Vince gains back his fortune sometime soon. When. I was a kid I used to see WWE all the time, and I used to believe it all to be real. I didn't notice how the guys with the camera always went backstage at the most precise time to catch any fights. :p
    all the WWE chairman needs to do is bring up some superstars like the HHH and John Cena and think of some clever stories

    I think that as people found out that wrestling is a scripted scam, their interested naturally went down.
    Hulk Hogan used to "fight" at the Madison Square Garden... There used to be press-conferences where wrestlers signed contracts, where they agreed to fight each other... Wrap your head around that.
    Wrestling had it's golden age when no one knew it was a scam. Plain and simple.

    And while I don't know much about the stock market, I know a few things about the fighting business, and I think Vince Mcmahon's time has passed.
    He is obsolete, and even back in the day, he made some horrible, horrible calls...
    I saw something the other day that I had never seen before. At one point, he had wrestlers put on boxing gloves and fight for real. The fights were HORRIBLE, so he essentially let everyone know that these guys couldn't throw a decent punch....

    Take a look. As an MMA fan, that is anti-wresling, this is funny as hell to me.

    Also, as soon as I typed Vince McMahon on Google I got this:
