>>15960956
Anon I have no dog in this fight, as I’m not a console warrior. So I’ll answer sincerely. $150 million a year for just the TV rights would have been considerably lower than what people were speculating. And on top of that, WBD is also getting the streaming rights as well. It’s great that AEW is getting paid, and $150 mil a year is nothing to scoff at, but AEW fans have been screaming from the hilltops about the amazing deal they would be getting and this is far from living up to the hype. Even as recently as last week it was supposedly a sure thing that they would be getting $170 million for the TV PLUS additional money for streaming and PPV. Also apparently Tony had to give up some ownership shares to WBD.
>>
>>15961000
Because it’s a much shittier deal than everyone had been expecting.
>>
>>15961008
>>15961029
If it’s truly such an amazing win for AEW, then why are the trannies so angry?

Yeah. There's no way WBD is paying $150 million a year for this shit. There is a reason they didn't disclose the numbers.
>>
>>15961029
Turner owned wcw so they could never get a tv deal. You're stupid so I wouldn't comment about financial news.tsx4gj

>>15965620
This.
>>
>>15961000
Wasn't the deal supposed to be $1bn / 5 years? Now it's $450 / 3 years + a network option.
Anyway the biggest news coming out of all this is the confirmation that WBD has an equity stake in AEW. Glad we can finally put that silly debate to rest.
>>
>>15966856
Actually they were supposed to get a billy so in reality they lost more than half their value
>>
>>15966856

Correct. So it explains WBD's desire to continue broadcasting AEW despite the shit ratings and the inflated contract numbers.

>>15966896
No, it means the deal "could be worth" upwards of $150 million. More bs language so AEW can pretend WBD didn't just bend them over and fuck them in negotiations.
>>
>>15961000
>How is this anything besides a gigantic W for AEW & Tony Khan?

>>15967862

This is a win in the sense that AEW wont be on YouTube TV. Every other aspect of this deal is a massive L.
>No financial numbers disclosed.
>Assuming $150 million is correct, AEW is still running at a loss.
>Rampage cancelled.
>Reported numbers went down from about $500 million a year, then $250 million, then $170 million, and now $150 million. And even that number is questionable.
>WBD gets a cut of the PPVs
>WBD owns more of the company
Let's be serious though, this is Shad Khan continuing to fund his son's toy chest. The cost of this contract for WBD is about half of what Shad is paying Trevor Lawrence. Money wasn't the problem. Having someone to broadcast Tony's retardation was. So in that sense, it's a win.

$150 mil! What a great number for AEW, $185 mil is quite the success for the number two wrestling company. Why, after this $200 mil deal, AEW will have no problem creating memorable moments for years to come. Why think of it - $225 mil - and we'll see what WBD does after how well their $265 mil investment goes. Gosh, $300 mil, what a win! I literally don't believe the $350 mil figure, surely it's higher than $365 mil. The sky's the limit! $400 mil.
>>
>>15960949
I bet they're breaking even now. Between the crazy roster contracts and then the production costs, travel, etc, the majority of any revenue gets eaten by that

It's doubtful. Even if you believe the $50 million a year number on the current deal, that basically covers the salary of your top ten wrestlers. Which means PPVs and gates are covering productions costs, promo materials, touring costs, the salaries of support staff and production crew and the salaries of the rest of the roster. And you know, we've seen how empty the arenas have been lately so you know gates aren't covering this. The only real question is if $150 mil would even cover breaking even. Which is also doubtful. This is Shad Khan throwing around fuck you money on his retard son's vanity project. It's not a real business.

You would actually have to generate a profit to be the 2nd most profitable company in wrestling history. Which means that AEW literally isn't even in the top 100 wrestling companies in history from a profitability standpoint. And it's unironically behind GCW, TNA, NWA, and PWG in this regard.
