>>16135538>Can someone explain to me why would WBD pay money for AEW but then have them not run shows to get the maximum return on investment?Because the deal is costing wbd the same amount of money as before while tony now splits ppv revenue in exchange for small advancement to give the illusion of an increase in rights fees. The tv specials were paid for by tony out of pocket as a sign of good faith in return for ad split and wbd didnt care.
It's the only thing that makes financial sense and explains why neither side is sharing the terms of this 'huge,' and 'amazing' contract.
