Wrestlemania 24 Buy Rate Beaten Out By Boxing Star

December 11, 2008

ESPN.com is reporting that the Oscar De La Hoya fight against Manny Pacquiao, which took place last weekend, scored a 2008 PPV high of 1.25 million buys. Earlier this year, WWE had wanted De La Hoya to appear at Wrestlemania 24 along side Floyd Mayweather, but those plans fell through. It seems as if it makes no difference to De La Hoya, as his draw last weekend will most likely end up being somewhere around 1.4 million buys when the final numbers come in. Wrestlemania 24 brought in 1.1 million buys, which was expected to be the top PPV draw of the year, but has now been ironically beaten.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
