Tony Khan can't say "yes" when being asked if AEW is now profitable
>>20511175I'm just imagining some Edrone with an Indian accent, getting to ask TK a question and all that comes out is, "WHAT ABOUT RECORD PROFITS SIR?"
>>20511210It was from an AEW media call so way to project and cry about all of your boogeymen there
>>20511703KEK IT ALWAYS BACKFIRES ON AEWTISTS
Is America profitable?
>>20511748Anything to deflect from Tony admitting AEW isn't profitable
>>20511703Our response, AEWsisters???
>>20511759Something something you're Indian. Something something I hate British women. Something something I love Lyra and Becky. Something something please notice me Tony
>>20511175LMAO, it might be the saddest non-answer I've ever seen.You can have revenues to the moon, but if your expenses are higher you're still not profitable.
>>20511175is this the new goal post, did we move on from 'no organic demand' already?
>>20511175But Dave Jewster said...
>>20511175no profit?
>>20511785fraid so
>>20511175That is really is such a corporate non answer too>revenue is the highest it's ever beenOkay? -$325,992 is still higher than -$573,321. That doesn't really mean anything on its own>this is the strongest financial outlook for the companyAgain this means very little without context or actual numbers. How far out are we looking? What is that outlook based off of? Of course it's the strongest one "for the company." It's the only one for the company
>>20511175
>>20511175Nothing we didn't already know
>>20511210Brandon Thurston from Wrestlenomics asked
no profitsno organic demandno tv dealwill dynamite on tiktok be 8 30second tiks? or a 2 minute tok with 8 matches?
>>20512571I wonder how persuaded Tony Khan that if you spoof numbers long enough, real fans will follow? Embarrassing hobby project.
>>20512592This whole thing is just to please Meltzer, as long as Meltzer is happy, Tony is happy.
>>20512614
>>20512624Always pops me
Dave lied, people died
>>20511175Tony don't need the money, lil bro.
>>20512853Tony needs a tv network, lil bro. If AEW can't draw viewers and can't turn a profit how the fuck do you sell that to anyone? You don't. Unless you Khan'ed them into being a part owner of the company from the start before they realized what a blunder they signed on to
>>20511175Do you understand how a business works
Why did they cut out the part of the answer where he said he's reinvesting the revenue rather than putting it in his bank account
So chadblade was right?
>>20512949Did he actually say this? Because that only backs up the fact that they're not making any profit>"Any money that comes in needs to go directly into paying off all of this debt we've incur--UH um I mean I'm 'reinvesting revenue rather than putting it in my bank account'"
>>20512946Do you? If a business isn't making a profit 7 years in, what do you think the outlook of that company is?
>>20512949You don't reinvest revenue, you reinvest profits. Capex doesn't stop you making a profit. He's either lying or doesn't know what he's talking about.
>>20514198>>20514154>>20514211>Make money>Reinvest >Make more money>Reinvest againAre you stupid?
>>20514239Make money isn't the same as make profit.
>>20514263Okay so what is a guy who never cared for money to do when his company is generating more money than it's spending if not reinvesting it?
>>20514263Who are the AEW shareholders? Who are they generating profit for?
>>20514239Paying off debt that is constantly rebuilding because you're pissing away far more money than you're ever seeing back not only isn't sustainable forever but it's the exact opposite of making a profit
>>20514287He's losing more money than he's spending.
Full quote.
>>20514288Do you think his dad is going to keep just putting money into something that's clearly failing? Because as we all know billionaires love losing money.
>>20514292>>20514293Says who? How much debt is AEW in?
>>20514302Answer the question.
>>20514305Tony. He said he isn't profitable.
>>20514309Where?
>>20514307AEW isn't public because it's a failing company. There are no shareholders, just his rich father.>>20514313Look at the OP dummy
>>20514317Nowhere is this mentioned in the quote>>20514298
>>20514298All these corporate-speak words to dance around a direct answer and he still can't give a simple direct "yes" because it wouldn't be true
>>20514320Nowhere did he said he's profitable? Yeah good point.
>>20514320So you're saying WrestlePurists made it up? Because you cherry picked a different quote it took you a day later to find? So now that means AEW is profitable? Is this what you're really trying to pull?
>>20514317>There are no shareholdersOkay so who is a private company generating profits for? Why not reinvest?
>>20514335That's literally the exact quote from the call.
>>20514335>cherry pickedThat's exactly what the tweet did tho. You've been provided with the full transcript.
>>20514341Exactly. He's building a company and will probably sell at some point
>>20511175So it’s not profitable. -30 million net profit is more than -300 million net.
>>20514341He's generating profits for his father, are you saying Shad doesn't want to see returns on his investments?Did Tony say they were profitable yes or no?
>>20511210Indians are only allowed to do media on twitter no one would ever invite them to a presser
>>20514353>You've been provided with the full transcript.That's not what you did though. You found a section that doesn't include what's covered in the OP so you can try and deflect from the fact that Tony couldn't directly say "yes" to being asked if AEW is profitable. That part doesn't go away
>>20511748For Israel yes
>>20514394tvke
>>20511175He hates this thread
>>20511175If a company hasn't made its initial investment back in 5 years then it considered a failure. It seems to be that aew not only has failed to make any money but it also has been losing more and more money as the fiscal years go by
>>20515136>but it also has been losing more and more money as the fiscal years go byI NEED MORE TOYS!!!!
>>20511175>GAEWfags can't dispute>Seething Brownoids can't stand losing
>>20514548He's made a career out of it at this point
He always sells for the bump
>>20514198Maybe not good for a wrasslin company but it took Amazon about 8 years to profithttps://www.computerworld.com/article/1325643/amazon-records-first-profitable-year-in-its-history.html
>>20517003How many million-dollar contracts was Amazon signing people to? Kek
>>20511175>Tony gets asked if AEW is profitable>he starts talking about revenueSo AEW still isn't profitable. >>20511210All Elite Wrestling. 7 years of existence. 7 years of operating in the red. Literally not a single cent made.
>>20511175kek he still hasnt made a single dollar, much like the majority of his fans
>>20514298corporate fagspeak from start to finish. some PR guy wrote this for him.
>>20511175is it true if ask Meltzer to check your peepee he uses his mouth to do so?
>>20518839gms
>>20517518It's not even just that it hasn't made a profit. Think of how deep in the negative they are. With every show they run. Every arena (or god forbid stadium) they book. Every crew member. Every wrestler's contract
>>20518862Okada alone makes like $5 million a year and he doesn't draw anything. AEW wrestlers have already said that Tony also pays for all their travel and hotel.
kek I've been telling aew trannies for years that AEW isn't profitable and the only reason it exists is Tony's dad is letting him spend hundreds of millions to keep him away from their actual businesses.
>>20517518Kinda crazy when you think about it
KWAB
>>20519283Exactly
>>20511175>GAEWfags defend a business that only exists solely as a vanity project from a rich dude's son who is the only reason it hasn't been canceled outright
>>20521017YEAH
>>20511175hehehe
>>20511210>minor negativity towards m'fed comes from WWE fans with an Indian accentThe internet has warped your mind.
>>20511175AEW exists because fantasy booking on smark forums was getting stale for Tony Khan. He doesn't give a fuck about making serious money off AEW it's quite literally a hobby fed. Then you have fans complaining about the way he books his action figures wtf.
To be fair I'm surprised AEW is still running after, 6 years?Perhaps it has no merit if it is simply a hobby of a rich kid who doesn't have to be accountable.
>>20522927Shad will keep paying for Tony's toybox as long as Tony doesn't get involved with the real business.
>>20524401This. AEW keeps Tony distracted like giving an autistic child an iPad to play with.
>>20511175it's not like someone cares about this so much that it's a core part of their personality and they feel hurt when someone viscously attacks their favorite like thisright?
>>20522864>AEW exists because fantasy booking on smark forums was getting stale for Tony Khan.This is as true as it possibly gets
>>20518067You see all the empty seats in AEW lately? AEW fans are so poor... they can't even afford Free Tickets! Boom. Roasted.
>>20525395They only did a 1 million dollar gate for the ppv tomorrow.. in NYC... SNME was in Indiana for snme and the gate will be higher.
Even Tony defenders are calling him out
>>20526616This one is pretty indefensible
>>20526616Interesting.
>>20514298So whenever AEW's revenue grows Tony just sinks it into costly dead-end projects and puts AEW even deeper into the red. It's kind of like the Bernie meme where the power strip's plugged into itself. >>20514313Tony admitted AEW isn't profitable when he was asked "hey is AEW profitable", didn't answer the question, and pivoted to talking about revenue.
>>20517003>AmazonOkay nigga, I'm finally gonna address this. Amazon had a business model that was absurdly costly BUT it was going to start making money hand over fist once e-commerce went mainstream. That was the strategy they were banking on and it worked. What's Tony's master plan to start making loads of money? Make AEW go mainstream and have it be as big as peak WWF/WCW? That shit ain't happening. No wrestling company can each those heights anymore, not even WWE.
>>20528439>What's Tony's master plan to start making loads of money? Make AEW go mainstreamExcalibur is on the job!
>>20528461Now it’d be hilarious if AEW declares bankruptcy two weeks after inviting the mayor of NYC to their show lmao
WWE will outlive VinceAEW might not outlive TonyThat's why the company being profitable matters. Tony doesn't get a stable profit then WWE will inevitably become a monopoly again. That's why AEW fans should care.
>>20528553WWE will not outlive Vince
>>20511175as a wrestling promoter, he is unable to tell a lie. they call him Honest Tony.
>>20521017You could make that argument about Vince, he was a rich snotty kid who was given the WWF at a young age and made it into his pet project. You dronies are incapable of looking at anything beyond the surface level huh. That must be rough.
>>20529267Vince PURCHASED WWWF from Vince Sr. and turned it into a national brand, then expanded internationally. Meanwhile, AEW's been on a downward trajectory since Day One and is still deep, deep in the red six years later.
>>20529275Vince "purchasing" WWWF was a contractual technicality. The deal was that if Vince could draw money he'd get the company, if he couldn't he wouldn't.
>>20529267>He's trying to compare what Tony has done with AEW to what Vince did with the WWFHoly fucking shit you've lost the plot
>>20529377I'm trying to figure out what Tony has done? Lose the most money?
>>20528461Holy grim
>>20531933>I'm trying to figure out what Tony has done?Kek fair thing to wonder
>>20529377He's only produced the third most viewed wrestling product in wrestling history? You have such a hate boner for him that you can't even think objectively, that's why we call you drones.
>>20511175wwe is owned by jewish hedge funds bro like what the fuck are you talking about
>>20534788What does that have to do with AEW not being profitable?
>>20534812why do they even need to be profitable? tk wipes his ass with your town or neighborhood's gdpalso tony not giving you the letter of the law profits doesn't mean shit because wwe is legally obligated to do so alsoif they werent traded you wouldnt sniff a hair of ttheir finances
>>20534864>ttheirI know you're really mad and you have fat fingers but why does AEW losing millions of dollars make you seethe like a bitch?
>>20534873can you prove that they're losing this?
>>20534893Yeah >>20511175
>>20534788>jewish hedge fundsNo it's not. It's owned by Silver Lake, which is owned by 4 white guys and run by a Chinese CEO
>>20528461why did they think Zohran was gonna be there? I've never heard Zo mention AEW. is this a joke or do people think he's fan for some reason?
>>20535152Desperation?
>>20511175So it's not profitable?
>>20535152Apparently there's an old clip of him being up in the nosebleeds at an AEW show once. So basically he likes wrestling. They of course assume that MUST mean he's a sicko and would love to be a part of their cult. What an embarrassment to even put that out there
>>20511175Yikes...maybe LoPiccolo was right after all?
Question? Are you looking to buy AEW? If not why do you care? AEW will be a thing as long as Tony wants to.
>>20536672Why would I want to buy something that isn't profitable? Further why would an entity like Paramount want to acquire a property that, even with the backing of WBD being part owners and giving them a freebie network deal for 7 years, still isn't profitable?People assume AEW will always exist just because of Tony's dad's money. But if they lose their place on tv and become locked away behind MyAEW then suddenly an AEW contract becomes a lot less appealing. You lose talent. No big names will want to sign there. There becomes no sense in airing anything live so you start getting shows taped in blocks. Spoilers of course come out. Crowds lose their excitement being there. And slowly more and more the product erodes away into something more akin to whatever the NWA is today. It may still exist but it won't be the AEW you recognize today
>>20536692Cook that fatso
>>20535850You tell me
>>20536692kek
>>20511703Jesus Christ
>>20511763Kek
>>20536672Without being profitable, AEW will die the instant Shad decides to stop funding it. Tony assumes that'll never happen. He should ask Dixie Carter how her assumption that her parents would never stop funding TNA worked out.
>>20511175Lol, nobody watches aew
>>20538708third most watched wrestling product in history.....
>>20536692Killshot.
>>20538723Killshot.
>>20536692He's got nothing for this
>>20538723He's got nothing for this
>>20538723>thirdSo not 2? KWACB
>>20538761Killshot
>>20538723Kek can't even beat WCW and WCW is dead
>>20536692>he knows no one actually bothered to read this so he replied to himselfKWAPABN
>>20538772Oh dear
>>20538777Oh dear, killshot
>>20538723>third most watched wrestling product in history.....And that, like everything AEWtists say, is a complete lie. If you compiled a list of all the televised wrestling shows throughout history and what ratings they did, Dynamite and Collision in their current pathetic states would be somewhere near the bottom. They're mogged by Heat, Thunder, Velocity, the first 14 years of TNA, it goes on and on.
>>20538777He didn't like this one, killshot indeed, this faggot ain't recovering
>>20538795Oh dear you raped him again...
>>20538777Oh dear you raped him again......
My oh my the singular AEW tranny is having a melty, just now badly did he get raped ITT?
>>20538840kirdblt
>>20538840To be fair, Double Nothing sucked complete ass.
>>20538777My oh my.....this one got him bubblin'
>>20538862RUN KID!!!! GET AWAY FROM HIM!
>>20538781>>20538801>>20538812>>20538871You know he's really mad when he mass replies to himself after getting brutally raped. Let the raping continue.Speaking of raping NXT raped AEW again KWACB
>>20538777You know he's really mad when he has to mass reply after getting brutally raped. Let the raping continue I guess.
He's having a mental breakdown because he failed to slide this thread.Speaking of failing.. his legs KWACB
He's having a mental breakdown because no one replied to his dimeless postMany such cases
Just imagine how many times he's tried to get this taken down, not only is it still up he got raped KWACB
Just imagine if you took a shower and stopped replying to yourself all day, maybe your parents wouldn't hate you so much KWAB
You can tell he always breaks down when everyone bullies him while all he has is himself and his 2 legs that don't work KWACB
You can tell he hasn't showered in weeks the sweat through his messages are palpable KWAB
You can tell he's really riled up because he stopped mass replying to himself like a bitch, just imagine how many times his caretaker has had to change his diapers KWACB
You can tell he's really riled up because he's making up scenarios in his head again KWAB
He's too afraid to mass reply to himself after getting raped and called out KWACB
He's too afraid to step out of his house after being raped by his uncle AND on 4chan KWABOTY
Holy shit he really is too afraid to reply to himself after getting called out and raped. Reminds me of him being afraid of stairs KWACB
>>20539012It's getting really bad.
>>20539020It's getting really bad.
>>20539049His poor caretaker, we should start a gofundme for him
>>20511175AEW is gay, and gays love slurping up dicks.
>>20539055He would just steal the money and buy new Batista action figures...
>ITT: two peedub addicts try to get themselves banned so they can go do something better with their lives for the next 3 days
>>20539053His poor mom should kick him out of the house, he's too grown to be freeloading and posting on 4chan
>>20539075He would just kill himself within a week.......
>>20539094Wouldn't that be great?
>>20511175We know for a fact that Tony would never keep the numbers secret if they were good and since he can't legally lie about how much money his company makes or else the IRS will launch an investigation then he rather keeps them private. If they were good he would've posted them years ago
>>20511175Kwab
>>20541489>We know for a fact that Tony would never keep the numbers secret if they were goodI mean it's really been that simple all along. Max numbers, ppv buyrates, money the company is making. Notice he only ever has Dave talk on those first two that way once they're proven false he can just throw Meltzer under the bus. As he already has over the Max numbers. Dave cried 500k for months and months and months. Then someone actually had the balls to ask Tony if that number was true and he folded like a wet motherfucking blanket
>>20541826This is all very true.
>>20511175that's unfortunate
>>20543281Not really, at least that money is going back into the economy
>>20511175pissant
>>20544700Everyone is saying this more and more
>>20545476why ya crying?
>>20545543KIRDBLT
>>20545476He always sells for the necrobump
>>20546965Really?
>>20548124Afraid so
>>20546965>He always sells for the necrobumpI've seen aewtists have meltys for days on end if they can't slide a thread off Page 10
>>20548941>aewtists>sC'mon now anon...
>>20548946Lol good point.
>>20511175So no profits??
>>20551708'fraid not
>>20511175>7 Years>still no profitWhen I see Tony I'm gonna put him in the Cobra Clutch until he passes out. Then I'll steal his wallet. What's he gonna do? Cry to Daddy?
>>20511175That means it isn't.
>>20539067You might have a point but aew fan(s) ban evade - they can't be away from being bullied for even a single day.Being trans, being a pedo, being an AEWcel is suffering. But they love it!
>>20511175Grim
There goes the revenue from NJPW World
>>20554901frankly new japan was Kylie Rae and Tony's Daddy's Money was Jericho
>>20555035YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!
>>20554901What revenue kek
>>20511210Tony Khan is literally an Indian. Yeah he's from Pakistan, but that's the same racial group.
>>20541826I still don't believe even the most delusional AEW stan thought Dynamite was pulling half a million people every week only from Max.
>>20545476Anyone else notice that this guy is on an Indian timezone?
>>20556066Not until you brought it up
>>20552666If Shahid's plan was to keep Tony busy so he could manage his NFL team in peace, he was sorely mistakenTony is like genital warts - he never goes away
>>20558134>he never goes awayunfortunately for gayew the fans do go away - averaging 500k is a kwab of epic proportions
>>20511175Why doesn't Tony Khan just buy viewer #s?He has no problem lying about irl attendance.
>>20559945why would he pay for viewers when dynamite already beats raw every week
>>20559948Dynamite does 500k and Raw does something like 2.7 milly, lil transbro. But I guess when you think your own gender is whatever you want it to be then you think numbers are whatever you want them to be, too.
>>20559945>Why doesn't Tony Khan just buy viewer #scause it's less expensive to just hide them
>>20559973TRUTH NUKE
>>20511175Too many toys for Tony Kwab
>>20561203kek this
>>20511175Pssst hey troonies.. no profits?
>>20511175Will they ever be profitable? I don't think so.
>>20511210Isn’t Tony literally an Indian? Why are you being racist towards your own people, bro? Are you an Uncle Tom?
>>20563061why didn't Tony start out with minimalist contracts and let the wrestlers earn pay increases the right way by doing the workinstead the Money Mark turned geeks who were earning hotdogs & handshakes into overnight millionaires
>>20563960He only wanted friends
>>20559945Tony Khan does buy viewers. The real Dynamite numbers are 50k.
>>20563960>overnight millionairesThat's why they're so lazy and botch all the time. They gave up their dream of WWE for $$$ and now they're dead inside. Look at MJF. He's the champion. Yet I've never seen a more miserable man in my life.
>>20565138Can't argue with that
>>20565138Everyone knows it's over.
>>20565138MJF keeps hinting that he'll go to WWE one day. Pretty clear from the way he wrestles at AEW is that he's just doing the bare minimum while focusing on keeping himself healthy. Pretty smart guy overall.
>>20565936>>20565955Thanks for the feedback.>>20566396No please do not do that. Watching AEW is worse than sucking another guy's cock. Even if it's at an infamous Brodie Lee gloryhole event.
>>20511175aew is fucking retarded for not having 20 commercials on ppvsi hope tony khan dies he hurts my feelings
>>20566627I know watching AEW is gay as fuck but I get paid to shit on in on X. It's hard to do without keeping up with the product.
>>20566643>GMSTony has bots and they're smarter than you fag
>>20511175NONPROFIT COMPANY LOL
>>20511175Nicky was right again
