We’re hearing that AEW is having talks with Fox Sports. If they extend a deal, it’s not going to be a TBS-sized one because of the network scope. But if he’s having talks with Fox Sports no then what sort of leverage could he possibly have.
The big offers would come from platforms where the TBS numbers could be reasonably sustained. USA, Paramount, your major streaming services. The window has probably closed for all of them now lol. That’s why you’re hearing about the baby Fox networks.
If AEW generated $120 million a year in ad revenue, there would be a logical pathway forward from that. $25 million or whatever. But chances are it does worse than that, hence why WBD was out $9.1 billion or whatever. Whoopsies.
If AEW generated significant ad revenue, those numbers would have someone knocking at their door trying to put AEW on their networks. A FS1 would take a Rampage for $10 million or whatever. Then you’ve at least got something on. But there’s literally nothing except FS1 gossip and promises that everything is going fine.
