Philippoussis 'sells rights to wedding'

Mark Philippoussis has been trying to profit from his upcoming wedding to Law And Order actress Jennifer Esposito, according to reports.

The Australian tennis ace, who has apparently been suffering from money problems over the past few years, is believed to have started negotiations with magazines to gain exclusive access to both his engagement and wedding ceremony.

Sources told The Daily Telegraph that the successful bidder could pay as much as $200,000 (£114,000) for two separate stories on the couple.

A spokesperson for Aussie magazine Woman's Day said that the publication is interested in running the feature.

Philippoussis has previously romanced celebrities such as Anna Kournikova and Delta Goodrem. Esposito used to be married to actor Bradley Cooper.
