I legit don't know
>>15962587you tell me
>WWE gets 500 milly each year for ten years for Raw>AEW gets 150 milly each year for three years for everythingNice "deal" TK
>>15962587With the amount of money tony's father is burning on his son's LARP fed, it's shit.
For a sensibly run company it would be a massive win. For a spendthrift company like AEW it's a disaster
Genuinely very bad. AEW's expenses are insane for how much money they're bringing in. Tony spends way, way too much money on talent. And he also spends too much on venues when he doesn't sell nearly enough tickets to warrant that. If he downsized on venues, and cut costs on talent and production, music, etc. it would be fine. But now? Fuck no. He could turn it around and be profitable, but he's an awful businessman mark who would never admit defeat just to become profitable. He thinks he's on WWE's level so he must do everything WWE does. And realistically, if he didn't overpay the shit out of everyone, no big name would go to AEW.
>>15962692Renewal Day got this piggiE SQUEALIN
>here's why getting half of what was expected was a good thing
Easy profit especially when you add continuing PPV revenue and the promise of a Fox deal. Even if it wasn't, Tony Khan is rich enough to not care.
>>15962775>Even if it wasn't, Tony Khan is rich enough to not care.How much of that are you getting, tranny?
>>15962787How much are you getting for sucking the cock of a sex trafficking organization?
>>15962794yikes, rampage getting permanently canceled has got you rattled eh?
>>15962794>muh sex traffickingLMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO you can't make this shit up, you trannies are pathetic hahahahaha
>>15962587What is going on here
>>15962631AEW isn't worth nearly as much as WWE, that's obvious150k is good for a piss ant company
>>15962775>Tony's daddy Shao Khan is richftfy
>>15962587kek.
>>15962587It's not 150 million a year.Its VALUED at UP TO 150 million a year. Somewhere around a third of this money isnt even tangible, anons.
>>15962587from what i understand, they something like 50~ ish mil before on their deal? and the 150 is beofre PPVs and shit. Obviously it's not getting a billion for smackdown, but for what AEW is, it's not bad.
>>15962587Well Tony Khan pays each wrestler $10 million a year - so that's enough to fund 15 wrestlers per year? Seems like a major lose from a basic math point of view.
>>15962692imagine writing all of this when the monetary value hasn't even been confirmed
>>15962587>$150 million a year>7% of that goes to Sashit LMFAO
>>15964320And why is that?
If the roster was about 2/3rds smaller than it is, sure. AEW's current payroll is over $100 million a year and Tony has shown no signs of slowing down on signing people. MVP just signed, apparently Lashley has/is going to. Maybe even Shelton. Outside of TV deal money, where else is cash coming in from? Their tickets sales are cold, their merch is terrible, their video game flopped. Add to the fact that live TV costs a shit-ton of money to produce.
>>15964667>AEW's current payroll is over $100 million a yearProof?
>>15964672https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1612429/dave-meltzer-breaks-financial-figures-aew-double-nothing-2024/
>>15964713>Dave saidLmaooooo the desperation
>>15964672Meltzer said their payroll is 55% of their revenue in 2023. It’s even higher now. At that time their estimated revenue is $250 Milly for 2023. So that’s well over $125 Milly. Their revenue is estimate to trending to be half of what they did in 2023. So yeah, almost the entirety of their tv deal wouldn’t cover their payroll. This is all based on information from Dave.
>>15964667Just checked the catalog, and Shelton did sign. Jesus Christ.
>>15964735Dave is not a legitimate source. Drones confirm this on a daily basis.
>>15964713>>15964735Dave has 0 AEW sources, this has been obvious for years now
>>15964766>>15964767lol Dave absolutely has AEW sources, likely Tony himself. Tony may tell him false information, though. And if that's the case it's probably even higher than what we think. Pretty crazy, huh?
>>15965435>lol Dave absolutely has AEW sources, likely Tony himself. Tony may tell him false informationi can see the gears grinding in your head in real time
>>15965444Keep reading tranny. It's not a long post.
>>15965473>trannythis is why you will always be alone and die alone
>>15962692>If he downsized on venues, and cut costs on talent and production, music, etc. it would be fine.Exactly. If he let's half of the roster go over the next few months and stops booking large arenas which they only sell 2000 tickets for, then he could easily get to the point where they're turning a profit. This deal isn't going to get them there on its own, without cost cutting.
>>15965494Fucking kek. Got this tranny bubblin'
>>15965444Where do you think Dave gets the PPV numbers from?
It would be fine if he wasn't giving everyone massive contracts. And having dwindling ticket sales/ppv buyrates. Seems more like a lateral move than an improvement.
>>15965502But then AEW would be TNA-tier
Wbd got equity. So do they get a % of the money? Aew has never been profitable. What happens to the equity in 3yrs if aew leaves wbd? Why not a longer deal? Who wanted 3yrs aew or wbd?
>>15962587It'd be good if that wasn't Tony's budget for talent salaries
>>15965546They already are. They're big budget indie.
>let's ask the schizos of 4chan if they know anything about massive tv deals
>>15962587Not really. Netflix is also covering production costs for WWE while Tony has to pay for his out of pocket. Tony also has a Sky high payroll which is at least half of that 150. Add in that Tony pays to rent out stadiums for big events while WWE gets paid with tax dollars for theirs. The Hobbyist fed remains a hobbyist fed while WWE is making the big bucks.
>>15962587Tiny and his army of troons claim AEW is competing directly with WWE which gets 500 milly a year on Netflix, you tell me.
>>15962587It’s a far cry from 1 billion
I'm interested by the "Valued at up to" language
>>15964766Jericho, come on dude.
>>15965546AEW is TNA-tier. Tony either admits that and starts to make a profit, or sticks to his delusion that they're competing with WWE and keeps making losses.
>>15964667>Outside of TV deal money, where else is cash coming in from? It’s coming in from all those bumpers that Shad Khan allegedly sold.
>>15964713I know this is a ragebait thread but >Meltzer admits that the figure is a lot higher than what he initially thought, meaning that AEW's upcoming media rights deal would need to be worth at least $125 Million per year just to guarantee the chance of breaking even.If you look at this article >Both AEW and WBD declined to share the financial details behind the deal. However, sources say it is a three-year deal with an option for a fourth year. The deal is estimated to be valued at $170M annually including the rights fee and other elements. WBD also keeps its equity stake in AEW, but the size of it was not disclosed.https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/10/02/aew-warner-bros-discovery?publicationSource=sbd&issue=e9fd32f620074ce797d93b2a3df361aeAnd given the fact that they got 25 Milly the past 5 years yeah they're prolly fine. Can we shitpost about smth else
>>15966009You're an accountant who doesn't understand industry analysts projections are a thing?
>>15962587Nobody knows. BUT the fact that all of AEW's dickriders are trying to make it seem that AEW received much more than 150 milly seems to imply they got a really shitty deal. They're the experts after all.
>>15966768Wrestlevotes is literally a wwe insider and he’s reporting 185 lol
>This deal makes them profitable because..... I JUST KNOW IT DOES OKAY!!!!????
idk why people even compare aew to wwe its not even close.
>>15962587no plus the kahn's get $ for having one of the worst NFL franchises in history. Anything Tony touches turns to shit
>>15962587The actual figure hasn't been accurately reported. Every number thrown out has been purely speculative.
>>15965936The bumper company itself is enabled by shady Pakistan revenue
>>15966781>This deal doesn't makes them profitable because..... I JUST KNOW IT DOESN'T OKAY!!!!????
>>15967486Because I know basic math
>>15967499Then please, show me this easy math. I'll fact check.
>>15967498>noooo you can't use common sense reasoning because you just can't!!
>>15962587the entire roster was confirmed to be over 100m on its ownnow take into account all the other expenses like venues, equipment, filming, travel, taxes etc for a whole yearno way it covers the bills
>>15962847>admits the deal is goode-drones crumbling
>>15962692Rare sensible post in /asp/
