Is this a case of a billionaire feeling guilty for never being in his sons life and now making up for it?
He doesn't fund AEW, Tony does. And Tony can fund it for the next hundred years lol.
He gave Tony his inheritance while he's still alive, so he can see his son enjoy it.
>Tony can fund it for the next hundred years lol.
Not if Shad cuts off Tony's allowance like Dixie Carter's parents cut off hers'.
Shad doesn't dole out Tony's money piece by piece, dumb frick. He already gave it to him in a lump sum. You're coping.
>He doesn't fund AEW, Tony does
Correct.
Shad has more than doubled his wealth since AEW started.
AEW could blow double the money they do and it still wouldn't hurt his pockets.
>hurr durr Shad will fund AEW forever
If that were true then Tony wouldn't even bother seeking a rights increase and he wouldn't give a single shit if AEW makes a profit ever. But he is seeking a rights increase and he does want AEW to be profitable. All the evidence indicates that Shad actually isn't willing to fund AEW forever and Tony does need it to become self-sufficient at some point in the near future considering he hopes for it to start making money in 2025(which it won't kek).
Dumbest post I've read all day. You're deranged.
Somehow it sucks because we'd need him to have a talk with Tony : "Son, we have to talk. You'll have to hire some fricking writers and have fricking storylines instead of throwing random wrestlers against each other every week! And for the love of Allah, stop promoting trannies and child abusers!"
Like when your dad told you to lose weight and talk to a girl?
You don't need writers to come up with a basic wrestling feud
>You don't need writers to come up with a basic wrestling feud
Actually you do. If history has proven anything it's that wrestling really, really fricking needs writers for even the most basic stories.
ECW disproves your theory.
ECW was a clusterfrick that played a distant third string to WWF and WCW. It proves my point that wrestling needs writers.
No, it doesn't. ECW was insolvent because Heyman was a shitty businessman, nothing to do with the stories.
ECW died because Heyman israeliteed it to death. But the main reason why it was way less popular than WCW and WWF is because it didn't have writers to tell interesting stories and get casuals invested.
yeah nah you're moronic
For most of its history it didn't have writers, certainly not some randos that wrote random TV shows. Should be enough for some booker to give a general outline and then they come up with something off the top of their head, it's just that most people are really bad at it now
>Should be enough for some booker to give a general outline and then they come up with something off the top of their head
You look at old Attitude Era scripts and that's basically what the writers were doing. Guys who could improv well were given an outline, guys who couldn't improv so good were more scripted. With AEW you've got a booker who can't write and there are no writers so it's a free for all mess where the stories are half baked and suck ass.
Trying to make it exactly like WWE when WWE exists and their fans are all marks would be moronic.
that's b***hbreasts, he is in fact moronic
Forever. You think that 12 billion is just sitting there? Even at the lowest yield investments you could easily cover any losses they would get.
And that's if he isn't just writing off any losses on his taxes, which is what he's most likely doing.
Plus it's not like AEW is making literally no money. Even if it's running at a loss, they're still getting back some of that money they sunk into it.
>Plus it's not like AEW is making literally no money
No, it's quite literally making no money. To make money means to turn a profit and AEW isn't turning a profit.
You sound upset, and Indian.
you couldnt run a lemonade stand kid, get out of here
I seriously think AEW is getting funding by not just him but multiple NFL owners as revenge for Vince and the XFL.
He will continue until it stops being extremely profitable
TV deals are the key to being profitable for wrestling. If they don't get a big TV deal increase this time, then they will probably fund it until the next round of renewals, and if they don't get a big increase that time they will pull the plug or scale back their spending on it.
If AEW loses 50 million per year, in ten years they'll have lost "only" half a billion. But in the same time he'll probably have already made a couple more billion, so it doesn't even matter. It's basically just a very expensive hobby
exactly
there will always be money for funding AEW. The plug will only eventually be pulled to save face if ticket sales, global reach, ratings etc. keep going on a downward spiral
AEW is financially sustainable without Shad's money
>AEW is financially sustainable
No it isn't lmao. AEW makes literally no money. It operates at a loss.
>You're coping.
Nah that's you. You're coping and in denial(also you're visibly upset). AEW obviously needs to make money. And obviously it will never make money.
>I can't read: the post
get some sleep b***hbreasts, you're incoherent
I accept your surrender
If Shad was actually funding AEW then the answer is: Forever. He could probably run the entire company with just a part of the NFL profits each year. If AEW were to scale back the size of their contracts a bit and stop way overpaying for people like Sasha Banks, it would be even easier. AEW may not be making a profit right now, but they ARE making money to offset their losses. Some of you guys act like the Khans just have this static pile of cash that never changes. They own businesses and sports teams, they are making an assload of money, plenty to pay for AEW in perpetuity if they wanted to.
People have already explained this ITT, unfortunately E-drone brains are too rotted from years of consuming slop to comprehend it.
>AEW may not be making a profit right now, but they ARE making money to offset their losses.
No, they aren't. Their losses aren't being offset whatsoever. AEW makes literally no money.
>plenty to pay for AEW in perpetuity if they wanted to.
Well AEW obviously doesn't have infinite funding hence why Tony wants a rights increase.
>Their losses aren't being offset whatsoever. AEW makes literally no money.
But that's wrong, you fricking moron lol
>But that's wrong
Nah. To make money means to turn a profit. And AEW isn't turning a profit. Thus they make no money and the moron is you I'm afraid.
>To make money means to turn a profit
No, to make money means to make money. To bring in revenue. Which AEW does. Just because you want a phrase to mean something doesn't make it so. Lose weight.
>To bring in revenue.
WRONG LOL. Making money has always meant turning a profit. It has never referred to revenue. Do your English reps, Rajesh.
They made 2 billion
I'm sure you can provide a source on that kek
here you go friendo
Your source doesn't claim AEW made 2 billion dollars, my illiterate Indian friend.
Guys:
2 billion is its value, an estimate of how much you would have to pay if you wanted to buy it.
250 million is its revenue.
Then you have to substract the expenses. If the expenses are over 250 million, it's a loss. If the expenses are less than 250 million, it's a profit.
I am not even a native english speaker or a businessman and even I understand that...
>to make money means to make money. To bring in revenue.
Are you working or are you a shoot moron?
AEW can unironically self fund itself for at least 20 years.
Realistically speaking AEW goes on until Tony Khan (41) dies or gets bored of it all and ditches his hobby project which is unlikely to happen any time soon.
The real question is how much damage will he cause just because he has money to throw around and how much of that damage is really offset by the existence of AEW? On one hand it could kill off better promotions and ruin wrestlers, but on the other, it always has a chance of eventually turning into something worthwhile by simply continuing to exist.
realistically speaking you'll be seething about it forever
I wouldn't care so much for your favorite Paki nepobaby's circus if he was growing his own talent instead of LARPing as a McMahon in the territory days.
Forever. They are only losing tens of millions.
AEW won't die anytime soon. I mean look at TNA. What will happen eventually is Tony will have a full blown mental breakdown from trying to run it and it will become even more worse once the Young Bucks bring in more of their friends to help out with the booking and writing
AEW makes money bros sorry to tell you
It doesn't.
Even if it didn't, it wouldn't make any difference. If they got a huge increase TK might just spend into the red again because he's too rich to live.
1 billion = 250 AEW shows arena with 0 profits. Rough estimate based on an even rougher estimate on crew salaries, arena rental prices expenses and roster salaries.
And we know, despite AEW reported running on a 30 million loss at one point, it's not completely non-profit. Scaling down the shows and expenses would vastly improve the profit margin. So something like 10 years or so.
Will be well into the green next year, they scaled up in anticipation instead of waiting. Most big companies will do this when they expect big things in the near future.
i dunno but i wish he'd fricking put more emphasis in fielding a good football team
real fricking sick of having one playoff run per decade
When he dies who takes over the Jaguars? Is it Tony? Cause if it is AEW is here to stay forever
tony will likely just institute an executive, there isn't a fricking soul in that org that likes him after the ngakoue thing
If London Jaguars happens (which it looking more and more likely) I could see them selling it.
It would skyrocket in value and someone would overpay on top of that imo.
>If London Jaguars happens (which it looking more and more likely)
the jaguars aren't leaving jacksonville as long as the moronic residents are willing to keep paying for everything
the moronic residents of london are willing to pay more
the mayor there is fighting for it too
Anon did the maths a while back and I think it was something like 75 years with ease - even if he were to earn not a single cent in interest in that whole 75 years, which is virtually impossible.
I think Shad really supports AEW because it helps keep Tony at a distance from Shad’s real big money businesses.
If that was true and TK was a problem, he wouldn't be on a bunch of the NFL boards.
