Wow, Hulk Hogan scored
115 million baby.
Appeal? I read somewhere that FL law is if you want to appeal, you got to put the money in escrow.
I'm pretty happy for Hulk
I don't believe freedom of press trumps a right to this kind of privacy.
I think it also says a lot that only Gawker showed it, everybody else backed off
thoughts?
Watch the video?
115 million, wow
Will Hogan ever see a penny?
I mean cmon, 115 mil, who has that.

When somebody doesn't believe me, I could care less. Some get totally bent out of shape when not believed. Weird. I believe very little on all forums

The "put the money in escrow before you can appeal" doesn't make that much sense, as it hampers your right to appeal, although I do remember one state (Texas?) having a "10% up front" rule once.
As for Hogan, no, I don't think he'll ever see a penny. His lawyers and his ex-wife, on the other hand,...

For this particular type of judgement no bond will be required in the state of Florida, gawker does not have the 100 mill and it most likely will get lowered on appeal or a settlement of some type, gawker definitely has some money and ironically probably is worth more from all the press- hogan will definitely get some money out of it .

I take that back, I may be a little rusty on Florida law , a colleague just told me gawker has to post a percentage in order to appeal.
Something in the neighborhood of 50 seems kind of vague and mostly judges discretion

Just like the Andrews case, I feel this is a complete set up and fraud.
DUHHIIIIIIIII HEARD THAT!

You feel the Andrews case is a fraud in what way?

Faked, set up, rehearsed, she was in on it, etc.

Huh
This was 55mil 8 year scam ?
The incident took place 2008
The judgment was in 2016 but still no actual money
A guy served 30 months in jail for this plus other penalties
Logic just doesn't add up to fake

You think Erin Andrews was in on it? Ok maybe in the hulk issue but how could you remotely think Erin Andrews was in on it- it has never once been suggested

She was absolutely not in on it.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

As a long time professional wrestling fan, it's just like it was 30 years ago. Hogan is getting paid millions of dollars, and refusing to lose to anyone.
