If Tony's other ventures have excess cash (they don't) and the tranny rodeo is drawing zero dimes, what you are assuming it's called an inter-company loan which in itself would affect the other companies who are profiting as it is strenuous taxing process in which shareholders DO NOT LIKE. Now if you think it's that simple and Tony could just transfer those funds like you're HRT brainrot proposes then he will be immediately investigated and sent to court

He only had $100m to start the company with.
Whatever proceeds there were, Tony spent them on talent salaries.
It's the #1 problem with mark companies.
Tony is so passionately in love with the wrestlers that he'll overpay them out of ignorant fandom, at the cost of his entire company.
That's why he needs a massive TV deal renewal to balance the books. Tony spent too much money on talent, willfully and deliberately, and it was not a mistake because to Tony it never will be a mistake, as AEW was never a profit-seeking enterprise.
AEW was always and always will be Tony Khan's personal circlejerk. TV is nothing but a way for Tony to fiscally justify fangirling over the boys.
And maybe he thinks he can beat the WWE with this too, who knows. The only war is with the businessmen who are telling him he's got his priorities twisted around a bitch's cunt like a knotted dog.

He's over 100 milly in the red, which is the only type of milly Tony has.
This TV renewal is supposed to fund that. He spent money he didn't have, expecting it to come.
Literally fractional reserve debt spending. It's what banks do to fuck you year over year with inflation.

So we know they don't do shit on merch because it's all ran through an online t-shirt print shop. And we know their PPV success has been a lie because of all the broadcasters dropping their PPVs.
So their media rights, of 1 million per episode of Dynamite and Collision, all goes to non drawing talent.

Feels good to be proven right yet again. I've always said AEW could easily be profitable off their current deals if they focused on a smaller roster and used local talent for squash matches. Would improve their watchability to.
Their large roster is also doing unforeseen damage to the industry. For the past 30 years it's been really hard for wrestlers to gain in ring experience, and pretty much everyone sign by AEW goes from a pitiful 50 matches year on the indies to what's a practically retirement schedule of 20ish matches a year.
>>
>>15135125
Being paid infinitely better than you were on the indie circuit while not having to risk injury sounds like a good deal to me.
>>
>>15135125
I'm honestly curious what it is about AEW that makes established wrestlers like Kenny Omega and Oespray perform poorly upon debuting. The only explanation I can think of is that they have no real producers setting up the matches
>>
>>15135145
The veterans in AEW who serve as producers get straight up ignored by the wrestlers because of how pampered and spoiled they are. The number 1 issue with AEW is Tony Khan.

Even your most experienced wrestler is an absolute fucking idiot without getting told what to do for a match. i.e Edge breaking his leg
>>
>>15135140
Good for the wrestlers sure, but absolutely shit for AEW. Imagine the quality of other athletes if they barely trained and went weeks on end without performing.

There's this weird thing with wrestling that the more time you take off not only do you begin struggle while performing but also your body begins to break down. A notable example of this was Kurt Angle

>>15135236
And the best part is that there isn't any hope of some suit stepping up and stopping the money flow (like what happened to WCW at the end) due to Tony Khan being the son of the money source.
AEW can literally keep paying wrestlers to not wrestle forever.

It's great for guys who never thought wrestling would be a job, and they just lucked out the son of a billionaire wants to over pay them for their hobby. But if the Martins, the Gunns, Hook etc see this as a career, they're never going to get better having Tony Khan decide their bookings.

>Being paid infinitely better than you were on the indie circuit while not having to risk injury sounds like a good deal to me.
They wouldn't risk injury as much if they could work properly (no need for yummy wummy chains of high spots). But they can't because the culture of AEW says to not listen to old dinosaurs like Tully or Arn or whoever hasn't given up on going to tapings. Phil was an antagonizing vagina and Edge obviously just wanted to do his big pre-retirement angles.
And less matches means more overall rust, which means greater injury risk. Anybody who wants to be booked more should be taken up on it (if the roster weren't quadruple the managable size).

Having unlimited funds doesn't mean you should offer a product for free.

It's the principle of the thing. Regardless of the product you're offering being your passion you don't give it for free.

Explain why $104 million a year as talent costs is bad. You have yet to do that and I'm beginning to think you are in fact not able to at all. And you are clearly very uncomfortable with this line of questioning.

Because the company has not been profitable since its inception and 5 years in its numbers are declining across the board, so having a bloated roster that is producing less ticket sales and ratings is not good fiscally or logically for something that is being run as company.
>You have yet to do tha

I'm not so sure about that. I'm fairly sure at this point that Shad sees the cost of AEW as the price it takes to keep Tony out of the business of the Jaguars and Fulham. If Shad keeps funding Tony's toy fed, he doesn't have to find a job for him to do at the businesses he actually cares about.
>>
>>15137416
>Explain why $104 million a year as talent costs is bad
are you for real? im not the anon that has answered you previously about this but how retarded are you that you cant understand why losing $100 million dollars a year is a bad thing? aew has well over 150 wrestlers they could cut 100 of them tomorrow. tony has sunk close to 1 billion dollars into aew he is currently losing $100 million a year on wrestlers alone this is bad business because he will never be able to recoup all that money lost
>>
>>15134572
i sure do love laughing at AEW
hahahaha
>>
>>15138928
he doesnt have to keep tony around if he doesnt want him around. losing $100 million or more a year in any business is bad no matter who you are. it looks ridiculous to accountants and other people his father deals with on a professional level. it just isnt a good look. no doubt shad isnt happy with tony throwing that much money away. rich people like to keep their money not throw away billions on something with no return
>>
>>15138998
>he doesnt have to keep tony around if he doesnt want him around
Shad loves Tony, but knows that he is a disaster of a businessman. By funding AEW, he can keep Tony away from important things without hurting his feelings by telling him he's useless.
>>
>>15138969
The $104M wouldn't be all that awful if Tony wasn't bringing in jobbers and outside talent every single week, if he took the CW deal for ROH and if AEW were doing house shows. The amount of talent either sitting at home fully healthy or doing 1 squash match per week on ROH is unnerving.
>>
>>15138998
>losing $100 million or more a year in any business is bad no matter who you are.
It really doesn't matter to them. You're not thinking about the scale here. It's like having a hobby. Buying videogames, or dirt bikes, or Warhammer, or whatever. I know people who have small planes as a hobby which definitely takes up more of their yearly revenue by percentage than AEW takes up of the Khan family's. And besides, Tony probably offsets SOME of that loss with gross profits from TV, tickets (I know, I know), and merch. So he probably only loses like 60-70 mil, and daddy can use that to get huge tax breaks on everything else he does.
>>
>>15139033
>bringing in jobbers and outside talent
yeah, like all the dimeless asians. and all the forever injured ex wwe wrestlers like keith lee, miro, kyle etc. he seems to hire these guys just to pop a rating with their big debut but forgets about them a month later
>>
>>15139045
>It really doesn't matter to them
it does. it matters to any successful businessman like his father. nobody wants to see a company they are involved in, and it was revealed shad is the actual owner of aew not tony, lose money on a yearly basis. losing money for any business is a problem and tony has no idea how to solve it. it doesnt matter how rich you are there comes a point where there is no point in keeping a business afloat anymore
>>
>>15139045
I agree with most of what you said but
>he probably only loses like 60-70 mil, and daddy can use that to get huge tax breaks on everything else he does
Is EXACTLY...and I do mean EXACTLY how it doesn't work

Corporations are happy to pile debts/expenses from 4,6,8 subsidiaries onto one division's books like Time Warner did with WCW. Corporations are generally NOT in the business of spreading losses in the other direction. You want to keep your profitable companies as clean as possible and isolate all your losses to your worst performer.

You'd sooner see the Jacksonville Jaguars Head of the Legal department being paid $1 by the Jaguars and $700,000/year by AEW, but said lawyer definitely WOULDN'T be fucking talent for that price.

>Tony doesn't care because he doesn't need to care. He's not going to completely overhaul his product and presentation, and go from a product he 95% enjoys down to just 75%, just to close the gap $20M/year. AEW is on national television, employs dozens of wrestlers that Tony really appreciates and respects, and as long as the status quo more or less continues unimpeded.....then it is what it is. I wish AEW were doing better than it currently is, but if this is what it takes to keep Tony bought-in instead of selling out (himself AND the fans), then we should respect that.

>Tony is a billionaire Wrestling Philanthropist -- and that's OK.

it's like that Saudi Prince on the videogame side. He loses money but he doesn't care because he gets to call the shots on the company that made his favorite childhood videogames.

Look who's talking. AEW is functionally impossible to bankrupt. Their entire budget is a fraction of their owner's wealth and that's only going up every year.

if it cant get a tv deal like wcw and ecw couldnt then what will he do?

>>15134572
AEW is a money laundering op that doubles as an interest killer in non-WWE wrestling content. There's no realm of possibility where this is not the case. AEW was gifted a TV deal that was worth around $45 million a year before they ever put on a single TV show. All the company had to do was spend a penny less than that to have been profitable.

tony has already spent close to 1 billion in 5 years. his father said aew was just a way to let tony have his inheritance while he was still alive. tony was not going to get every cent his father ever made. aew is a business and his father is not going to throw billions down a bottomless pit for years and years

LOL. Tony Khan only needs his father's NFL and Soccer franchises to keep going along with the rest of the empire to secure payroll for his fed. Amazing business plan. Shad uses Tony's fed as a containment cell to keep his son from fucking over the real empire.

>>
>>15146199
>He's a bright guy who's good with numbers
If Tony was really "bright and good with numbers" he would be managing some portion of his father's empire. His fake empty title of directing analytics for the Jags, for example, would be a full year full time job that would preclude him from doing anything else. His father gave him this money because Tony is not good at business, or numbers or management.

He started a 2 billion dollar franchise, seems pretty good to me
>>
>>15146277
>He started a 2 billion dollar franchise,
Debt is a part of valuation. It's not hard to start something and claim it is worth "X" since that is what you spent on it. The tricky part is finding other people who agree that the amount you spent on it is actually what it is worth. The even harder part is having be worth MORE than what you spent on it. Valuation doesn't take that into account champ.

Vince turned his father's million dollar fed, into the first and only billion dollar corp of its kind. In fact Vince is the only western fed to ever turn a significant profit. Ever. For a guy who likes to hit on people's heads that is quite impressive. Wonder why someone who went to fancy colleges and is a self titles "numbers whiz" can't turn a profit after 5 years and hundreds of millions spent.
>>
>>15134572
He can spend all that money, but not afford to at least give Collison and Dynamite different stage sets (Collision should be LED, and Dynamite should have the tunnels). He can't afford to change the apron cloth between shows and needs LEDs, but can pay Bryan Keith and Wheeler Yuta. kek. Coke Jompany.
>>
>>15146360
>his father's million dollar fed
Exactly. His FATHER's million-dollar fed, in the middle of the richest media hub on planet Earth. Jr would be nothing without his dad. Period. Put him without the McMahon fame, money, dimes roster handed to him, and connections in Alabama, and he would've failed like everyone else.
>>
>>15146338
>making up numbers now
where did all the money for aew come from? i just read tonys wiki page and his only employment history is working for his dads companies. tony is a charity case that has lost hundreds of millions of dollars in the last 5 years alone with no end in sight. even if he does sell some tickets like a year ago he undermines it by licensing a song for one time use by paying 2 million dollars thus eliminating any money he might have made from such an event

See, this comment right here is how I know you have literally no business experience or understanding of how cash flows work.
Money always seems unlimited until it's tight. Then it's not. Turns out that it was never unlimited in the first place and runs out way faster than anyone ever thought possible.
The mindset you're reflecting here (along with Tony) is literally why most lottery winners end up bankrupt.

Those are one in a lifetime dimesers and circumstances. Vince Jr also didn't have a WWE equivalent to go against. But most importantly: Tony cannot book.

Correct. He has a roster that is costing him well north of a dime.
>>

Yep.

>>15146626
Some good points here, but I'd argue none of those guys were anything until they were built to be something.
Tony has guys he could have built into something, if he listened to the experienced hands he's chosen time and again to ignore. He didn't and chose to buy new toys instead.
