Soooo...the WWE is technically paying itself? Can't see how that could go wrong in the long run...

>>2678349
But it's only 9,99, Maggle

>>2678349
Not quite. They may get a small cut, but they are talking about the money NBC universal gets to air commercials.

The TV deal, for the most part, is an agreed upon amount of money before hand.

>>2678355
Yeah, I know. They are still boosting the ad-revenue of their own show by paying for ads during it. That system can't really work out, when the TV contract is their main source of income.

>>2678367
Yeah it's weird, but the wwe just wants more time to get the network subs up. It's actually a pittance fee in comparison to what they are getting paid.

That being said with numbers like these it's actually shocking NBC universal isn't talking about canceling.

The demographic for WWE is poor mexicans, literally the least valuable type of consumer

Yeah, that would only add to the problems the WWE will likely have to get a new contract that comes anywhere close to the current. They will take a massive hit in 2019 and probably can be happy to stay on TV.

I think it's just more that they are trying to get as many Network subs as possible, and the people most likely to get the Network are ones who already watch WWE programming.

The fact they are the ones paying the most money could be bad, but even then if they are getting more than $742,418 in getting new subscribers to the Network than money well spent.

>>2678334
What moron thinks this is correct math? Multiply that $5M by 12 and you get a substantially higher number than the $21M that USA Network paid for rights to Smackdown.

Also, who gives a fuck about this stuff? Are we wrestling fans, or accountants?

This is the correct answer. The rich smarks spend all there money flying to various cities for payperviews and buying replica belts.

>>2681593
At least the Attitude Era was GOOD. They're castrated the product so they can shill fast food joints

And this is what happens when you push lil poochie as your top guy.

Agreed upon terms to influence the stock scam.

>USA, boost our TV deal and pretend to give us more money so idiot investors buy more stock.
>We'll give it right back in ad revenue.

People in the stock market are bigger marks than wrestling fans.

But you should take note. WWE's TV deal is NOT their main revenue stream since they can throw some of that money right back to USA.

Stacker 2 is the ad I've seen the most in my lifetime. Fuck those ads.

i wonder why?

Over half a million taxpayer dollars spent keeping stupid people from dying off. Great job.
