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.

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.

Meltzer 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.

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.

Not 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.

I 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.
