WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

>>2930509
Not the OP, but here is a TL for the whole conference: https://twitter.com/WONF4W

New Japan made ~$4.1 million in profit last FY on revenue of ~$32 million.

Just shows how inefficiently WWE is ran.

I guess paying TNA failures 7 figures to wrestle in 100 seat Florida high school gyms is not what's best for business.

>>2930497
posted this in another thread but on 403m revenue, that's a 1.5% (rounded up) profit margin. that's fucking terrible for any corporation, let alone one with such massive revenue

cutting pyro is just a drop in the bucket compared to the expenses they need to cut

>>2930497
>NXT and all of Triple H's various pet projects come under 'Corporate and other expenses'
Actually I heard it's because every McMahon has a private jet they use for managing shows/live appearances.

So even though at most Raw/SDL shows Vince, Trippple Man, Stef and Shane are all back stage, Vince has his own jet, Paul and Stef have theirs, and Shane has his. Utter waste of money.

Can't wait for Meltz's take on this. You guys can hate on him for his lack of SCOOPZ, but no one is better at analyzing the business of the business

>>2930570
WWE has 1 (one) private jet.

>>2930570
Based big jets McMahons pissing away all their revenue

>>2930578
Vince has his own, Stef has her own, Shane has his own. WWE has one.

You can bet they're charging the company for travel.

>>2930570
I heard Meltzer mention that months ago, got a link?

>>2930607
>Vince has his own, Stef has her own, Shane has his own. WWE has one.
You seem confused. Does WWE have one private jet and everyone else has their own personal one not owned by the company, or does WWE own multiple jets, one for each person?

I will solve it for you: WWE has 1 (one) private jet.

So NJPW makes almost as many dimes as WWE.

>>2930625
Okay? Are you aware of how corporate expenses work?

>Bill Goldberg was a succe-

>>2930625

That's what he said. He said that the others own their jets but most likely bill the company on travel expenses.

The money to fly back and forth to Stamford to Raw every week isn't coming out of Vince's bank account.

>>2930625
>Company wants you in X location at Y time
>Say yes
>Charge company for the use of your private jet as a travel expense

????

People will still argue that the Reigns centric booking is benefiting the company

charging travel costs is not in the same ballpark as owning a private jet - which costs shitloads even when it's grounded.

Paying travel fees for the C suite execs is not going to harm the company. Running multiple jets would. However, we know they only have one jet. So say again what your point actually was - because it wasn't that private jets are bankrupting the company, was it?

>>2930829

And further
>You can bet they're charging the company for travel.

What exactly is YOUR point? That because they don't own it, they don't pay the business expenses of getting the McMahons to and from shows?

>>2930497
Revenue for April 1 - June 30 was $214,600,000 (highest ever)
Profit was $5,100,000 (was $800,000 in Q2 2016)

That's only slightly ahead of inflation.

Also how can they make so much money and make so little profit?

>>2930948
By paying stupid salaries for people like lesnar

>>2930855

McGregor is their top draw, you can't dispute this. It's blacks like Jones and Johnson dragging the company down since surprise surprise no one wants to see them.

It'll all balance out when those billion indians get the network.

>seriously arguing that only white wrestlers/fighters draw

Wow. I know racefags are retards but damn.

>>2931042
In western countries where whites make up the majority of people with disposable income whites absolutely have more drawing power than non whites.

Just like in Japan how a strong Japanese contender or champion will out draw a foreign one.

The fact you seem to think whites are somehow different to every other group on the planet is some twisted doublethink

>>2931052
The Rock, Tyson, Mayweather and Ali would like a word. I don't know about the rest of the world but Americans definitely don't have a problem giving money to a sport with a black as its masthead for atleast 30 years now.

>>2930829
Floyd Mayweather is the A-side of the fight you pea-brained mongrel. He's the biggest combat sports draw of this era by far.

>>2931063
>>2931067
And if those guys were white they would have been even bigger draws. And just fucking compare the audience reaction to Ali in africa to Ali anywhere else fag

When foreigners are champs, theyre heels. They dont draw. Their white babyface title chaser draws. Period.

>>2931078
But they aren't white, and you said non-whites don't draw, so you've already contradicted yourself. Take your mental illness elsewhere, preferably to /pol/.

The "hardcore fanbase" that they assumed would always be there no matter what they did is leaving. Not all of them, not yet. But enough to make an impact. They can turn to India and China if they want. But the direction of this programming will eventually drive all the smarks and a good portion of the remaining adult audience away. Kids and their parents are a good market, but they alone can't support WWE as it is now.
It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Developmental always cost them money,you people need to calm down, NXT makes much more money back than any other developmental they ever had, and is a big part of why people actually get the Network.

HHH was also behind bringing in the few people that actually kept some people watching during Roman's terrible run.

Without NXT the WWE would be utterly fucked right now. It's a miracle they even scraped a profit with costs for their Network, the brand split which they intentionally sabotaged, increased marketing worldwide like in India China and Japan which is all failing, and extending their reach in the UK which didn't faik but didn't take off either after they put the brakes on it, oh,and starting a whole CW division and intentionally making that suck too, along with paying ridiculous contracts to certain people to show up a few times.

And Jinder has done okay as champ, SD i still doing better than RAW most nights despite being intentionally sabotaged as well. There's a reason he didn't lose the belt yet and they pay for two sidekicks and Khali as well as various props and all that bs even though they don't pay for pyro anymore.
