► Hulk Hogan y George Foreman
In 1994, Foreman was not only His most successful business was born: the George Foreman grill grill. Although the data is always approximate, it managed to sell 120 million units.
“The grill has been more successful than boxing. People now recognize me more for that, ”he once said the boxer.
Initially, Foreman received 40% of the profits, what is estimated More than 200 million dollarsalthough he assures that it was much more:
“There were months when They paid me 8 million dollars a month.”
Here comes the curious: The grill was originally going to be for Hogan. At that time, they proposed to invest in cooking products and offered two options: a grill or a machine to make meatballs. According to actor Sam Worthington (Avatar), the fighter was clear: “I want the Hulkamania Meatball Maker!”. So the grill gave it to Foreman. The Hollywood star came to say:
“George Foreman won millions … And who today has a Hulk Hogan meatball machine?”.
On the other hand, Hogan has its own version: He says he lost the opportunity to invest in the grill because he did not answer a call from his agent. He once said that he was picking up his children early from the school so as not to be late as always, and that is why he did not answer the phone. Upon arriving home, he heard the message in the recorder: “Hi, Hulk. I have a grill and a blender. I'm going to call you and George Foreman to see who wants it.” When he called back, they told him that Foreman had already stayed with the grill.
“So George won 550 million dollars … and I stayed with a blender who used AA batteries, made a noise like fart and went out.”
The real story is Hulk Hogan is about the best friend I ever had. He could do a Hogan whatever it’d Fly,cause I’d buy https://t.co/vN8dqZ51it
