MJF makes claim about how much money he is earning in AEW following the “bidding war”

During the SI Media Podcast with Jimmy Traina, AEW star MJF commented on how much money he is making from his new contract with the company…

“What I will tell you is the amount of money that I get by the time it is over far surpasses 15 million. I am making top guy money, whether it be an All Elite wrestling contract or a WWE contract. I will say this: I am 28 years old. Every single top act in professional wrestling besides me is either in their late 30s, late 40s, or early 50s. So yeah, for the people who are panicked, ‘Oh my gosh. Am I ever gonna get to see MJF outside of All Elite Wrestling? Am I ever gonna get to see MJF in this place, that place?’ Look, the reason I was paid top dollar is because I’m a generational talent.

I won the bidding war. WWE didn’t win the bidding war. All Elite Wrestling didn’t win the bidding war. I won the bidding war because I am making an absurd amount of money. By the time the contract is up, I will still be absurdly young, and then I will be able once again, to make an absurd amount of money in the next bidding war. And you know who’s going to win again, me.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
