It's official, Bob Sapp has to defeat Godzilla to reign supreme in Japan.
While the average American wouldn't have a clue as to who Bob Sapp is, a Japanese citizen recognizes him as one of the biggest celebrities in Japan.
There is even talk of him going to WWE but don't count on it. Sapp will EASILY earn an estimated $1.5-3 Million this year from K-1, PRIDE, pro wrestling and countless appearances and endorsements.
Sapp takes the cake as the highest paid combat athlete in the world (aside from boxing). This takes the WWE rumor down a notch as Sapp would clearly not be able to earn that much in the States.
More than likely, the WWE would expose Sapp as an average pro wrestler and wouldn't be able to capitalize on his character and international stardom. Sapp wouldn't be able to fight in WWE and American's would be left dumbfounded.
Come to think of it, sooner or later, someone is going to have to design his action figure. How do you fit a toy that size in a package!
Even many hard-core NFL fans wouldn't even remember Bob Sapp but it's apparent that his popularity is now gaining coverage in the U.S.
Yahoo! has one of the largest news services in the world. The Bob Sapp craze has resulted in a recent article stemming from his mainstream stardom in Japan that has reached the U.S.
