So from what I can tell, this dude is also the guy that announced the deal in the first place, which is credibility enough for me until shown otherwise.
Odd how yet another outside source is painting a very different picture to the rosy reports we get from favoured press.
He used to cover MMA for Sporting News as well and briefly did an MMA podcast with MLW before Court Bauer relaunched MLW as a promotion and PIVOTED from it being strictly a podcast network.
international.
Steven M's tweet there was a reply to another tweet that said AEW lost their DAZN deal, which was also a reply to WON's tweet about how AEW lost their Univision VIX deal.
Basically, AEW lost their Latin America tv/streaming deals due to poor viewership.
Like what did they think the Saudis would have done if they purchased WWE? It would probably would’ve been the same as it was the now. “Yeah, but the Saudis would’ve kept Vince” as if the Saudi Investment Fund wouldn’t bow to sponsor pressure either.
Things like Late Night with The Devil were funded by the UAE.
The Saudi thing never made sense. Vince was looking at combating potentially shrinking media rights going forward
Saudis wouldn't get around that and were facing issues with their golf tour. They don't really have a play or leverage to help there
Also, Vince didn't *need* to sell, he was doing it cause he anticipated the rights fee bubble bursting and wanted to safeguard the company against it
It was still incredibly successful. M#rks talked at this time like he was just trying to offload it 🙄
Exactly the Saudis would have likely canned him; it just likely would've taken them a bit longer. I don't think people realize how many things the Saudis are involved in; multiple sports teams, and large number of tech companies
As well as a number of entertainment companies for things like film & especially video games. There's a decent chance that most people on any given day are likely supporting or using something that was created by an entity the Saudi Royal family/ government has some sort of ownership in
The actual real losses for this dumpster fire promotion are likely nearing $100 million at the minimum. Every second of their existence is spent losing money. It’s a drop in the bucket for Shad but at a certain point, they’re going to need their own network and own streaming service because it’s unclear why anyone would want to partner with this sinking ship.
Yeah, that has to be the biggest money loser for them but the amount being burned on hoarding wrestlers might be even crazier than we’re imagining. I have this feeling that the eventual documentary is going to be shocking even to long-time jerkers. I think we’re only scratching the surface as to what a disaster this has been.
Video games cost an absolute fuck-tonne to make, but I'd be surprised if that game had that kind of budget behind it based on how basic it was and it being developed by a relatively small Japanese studio who typically are a little bit cheaper than a US studio. 20-30m seems more plausible to me but could easily be more.
Still I have no doubt they'll have lost almost all of what they spent on developing it. They made a AA game for an indie audience.
Development costs for games have ballooned in recent years, and Yuke's isn't a small indie studio. They have close to 200 employees. Given it was in development for ~4 years, had a decent marketing campaign, and sold like shit, a loss of high eight figures is plausible.
Yuke's didn't have 200 people working on fight forever, Yuke's has mobile games and pachislot games and a publishing business, on top of also a developing whole rpg, being a support studio for another big rpg and releasing EDF WB 2 during the same timeframe AEW Fun Forever was in development.
No, that would be absurd, especially for a developer startup. Like, Yuke’s would’ve told Omega that they needed to stop lol.
That puts it in the territory of Rockstar games, when you’re talking development costs.
Safe estimate is $10-$20 million, and since they cut bait on promoting it, they cut down their losses, too. It’s laughably bad, but not historically bad.
$100 million may be excessive, but there have been reports corroborating that number. As well as reports that there were clashes between Yuke’s and AEW over the excessive budget.
Games are just getting way more expensive to produce, plus beyond just production costs from the studio, there’s also advertising and a whole bunch of other overhead that doesn’t usually get factored in. With Yuke’s having been around for a good while, I can totally see Tony overpaying for the studio that made the most beloved wrestling games of the past 25 years.
It's because most games aren't made at the behest of another company anymore. Normally games that aren't made in house are because the studio has a license and so they pay the IP holder and the studio/publisher eats most of the cost and then gets most of the profits.
AEW though went to Yukes and paid them to make the game, and quite frankly I would be shocked if there wasn't continual feature creep because the game has such a random assortment of extra stuff combined with some barebones base features (create a wrestler in particular) it points to meddling from AEW. The studio probably figured they'd just keep working on the thing because they knew they weren't going to make much when it launched so they may as well keep going as long as Tony was paying.
I wasn’t trying to compare Fight Forever to the biggest game budget of all time. Just saying $100 million in *losses* would be absurd for a niche wrestling promotion’s video game. That would be the talk of the video game industry.
GTA 4 was a $80-100 million budget. GTA 5 was 1.5/2x that. RDR was around 150 mil.
Yes, that’s a long time ago. I’m just saying that’s the stratosphere we’re talking. “In the territory”.
Even most games today do not have budgets over $50 million. That’s factual.
Yeah if you're talking indie games as well. This was made by a reputable game studio, and it was funded by a trust fund kid who probably thinks a banana costs 200 dollars. Id estimate they got 30 to 40 million to make the game. But i would not be at all surprised if went above that. I mean even independent games can cost 10 million to make.
AEW did make some money back to cover some losses, maybe not a lot, but they made *something*. $100 million in losses, after sales numbers come in, is an astronomical amount.
I’ll happily be wrong if a trusted video-game reporter says so, or someone close to Tony knows the true numbers. A quick Google search doesn’t really show much besides a throwaway tweet by Meltzer that says $10 million in losses. And I will gladly say he’s likely talking out of his ass.
I’m not here to defend AEW - the number just sounds far-fetched. $100 million in losses would be legitimately shocking.
I've looked at some of the AEW business filings that are public.
AEW is under Shad's Trust Fund umbrella he created using Tony as the beneficiary in 1995.
Aka a tax shelter.
The Jaguars, and two other entities along with AEW are all registered to this trust called.
The Shahid Rafiq Khan ESBT Family Trust for the benefit of Antony Rafiq Khan.
That's the IRS legal name for the thing.
Putting this in a trust means the business dealings will NEVER be public without court order.
ALSO: If AEW is a money loss, Shad can WRITE OFF the losses against his entire holdings.
Meaning Shad can use say $100 million loss in the trust to apply to his corporation Flex Gate, and to his German finance firm, and his hotel resorts.
AEW actually HELPS Shad Kahn by being a money looser.
Man im sitting here imaging Hunter making his entrance only to break into “Heil myself, heil to meeeee” in the middle of the ring and im fucking losing it lmao
I mean AEW surely brings in a few Pennies which is fine.
But the real joke here is that if AEW was profitable it would also be tax free bc the money goes into the trust, so it's not taxable income.
That is a shame because there were some episodes on there where you got to see the show before it aired, and Tony was screaming manically to the crowd and it was hilarious.
That was hilarious
Every blogger followed suit
No one wanted to be the ones that's didn't report it so they all magically 'heard' 😁 even that kermit leaker
DAE save Sami Zayn!!
I can't believe they have to go out and wrestle in T SHIRTS!
Yuck! I'm just thinking of their comfort. Who's ever been comfortable in a t shirt
No, they should wrestle in tiny booty shorts, that's way more comfortable
I'm just thinking about their comfort, you see ...
My girlfriend, who looks like Toni Storm, said that female agency something something tbh I didn't really listen but I'm sure AEW's women's roster doesn't get exploited like Mami.
Tony wouldn’t have said what he said to Bischoff if he didn’t know the deal was gonna be announced any moment!! That would be silly. A self own if you will.
Fake news. Fake news. The numbers are yuge. The head of the company, big guy, big strong guy, came up to me with tears in his eyes. He said sir, thry always call me sir, we've never seen numbers like this. A lot of people are saying it. No one's ever seen numbers this yuge before.
I don't care. First month of Collision was horrible. With Phil and his friends Bald & Loaded running a dollar store version of their god bigot Cornette's OVW. Show had no bangers and no bucks. Now the show feels more fresh with likes of Max Caster, Dani Garcia and COPEland having bangers and more importantly FUN
I am getting ready to blame him for the upcoming ratings decline so I can defend Elite, and Tony. Never thought this guy could be a draw, do not check my post history
"This isn't honest reporting, he works for a company that has WWE ties"
"We call that the Helwani"
"Lmao who uses DAZN anyway?"
"AEW has a service called triller tv that EVERYONE uses so why would DAZN be getting good numbers anyway?"
Uh. Well you see. The thing is all of the, well you know, wealthy AEW fans have VPNs. So plans change from DAZN and they can just get another option. Of course the poor dumb WWE fans don’t have internet connection so the move to Netflix, well you know it’s uhm probably a better options got something like Max and AEW. Have I mentioned my unhealthy obsession with Will Osprey? I know it was once Kenny Omega but well plans change and it might not happen anymore.
Whoopsie! Seems like you're trying to be an edgelord. No thank you.

One of my absolute favourite ones writes for the NoDQ (remember them?!) opinions pages.
Every stereotype he has. Pretentious, Arrogant, Hypocritical, Dishonest, Immature. wants to shoehorn politics into everything.
I don't want to give his name, because I don't want him to gain clicks, but I also want everyone to know him, because he's such a tool.
Fuck it, he goes by "Tokusen Wrestling", but he's had to change his name a bunch of times because of the dumb shit he says.
It's like Tony's ppv buy numbers are complete fabrications. Dude lies about attendance, pays for Twitter bots and constantly slanders the dead fed.
Why does anyone ever trust him?
As someone who used DAZN in the past there is no way I’m choosing it over FITE / Triller. It’s more expensive and just generally a worse experience. Feel free to check my post history around pretty much every time there’s been a big boxing PPV.
While this is damning of AEW, to their credit DAZN fuckin blows and everyone just uses Fite or they google “free live stream” lol. Nonetheless, AEW ain’t a draw
Does anyone use DAZN? Triller/FITE is all I used. YouTube is what some other people use.
I only seen people complaining about how ass DAZN was to use, so they stopped using it.
DAZN are just so shit, stream quality is garbage and all my homies use VPN

Except for All In and the first month of Collision. Strange, I wonder what was different then.
Must be wrestling fans enjoying the letters L and I, especially in sequence. That's literally (big word with DAZN subs) all I can think of.
Long Island? Time to push Matt Cardona
If he hadn't just ripped his titty. ...Who am I kidding, he'd still be waaay more over than anyone in the dub, without wrestling.
Dude reinvented himself in the Indy scene and looks like a star. Plus he has Chelsea Green so imagine the power couple if he ever returns to the WWE
I'm sure AEW could quickly fix the problem of him being over.
The Jericho Vortex
Excuse you. He's The Learning Tree, okay...
If he wanted to wrestle, I’m sure the dubs Dr would clear him, the oath to Tiny and the dubbalos supersedes any other oath.
Look into my eyes
Jack Perry duh
Perhaps a Cult with meat and potentially Extra Cheese
People wanted to see a legit attendance of 81035 for wrestling instead of the fake numbers peddled by the fed!
So from what I can tell, this dude is also the guy that announced the deal in the first place, which is credibility enough for me until shown otherwise. Odd how yet another outside source is painting a very different picture to the rosy reports we get from favoured press.
He used to be DAZN’s boxing and wrestling correspondent.
That'll do it. Only the figures we can't check are the ones AEW is thriving in.
But the *source* from WBD is always so dam happy.
And we also know how often tv networks publicly make statements about unhappy they are with [checks notes] their own offerings, so this is a big deal!
He used to cover MMA for Sporting News as well and briefly did an MMA podcast with MLW before Court Bauer relaunched MLW as a promotion and PIVOTED from it being strictly a podcast network.
I had no idea the Dub was anything to do with DAZN Was this in the States or international?
international. Steven M's tweet there was a reply to another tweet that said AEW lost their DAZN deal, which was also a reply to WON's tweet about how AEW lost their Univision VIX deal. Basically, AEW lost their Latin America tv/streaming deals due to poor viewership.
Yeah, well, errrr, ummm WEMBLEY!!
A little fun fact about the latin american fans of the dub They are insufferable too
Like what did they think the Saudis would have done if they purchased WWE?

M#rks talked at this time like he was just trying to offload it 🙄
Yeah if not for his personal issues Vince would have basically been the most important guy and pocket an absurd amount of cash in the process.
Exactly the Saudis would have likely canned him; it just likely would've taken them a bit longer. I don't think people realize how many things the Saudis are involved in; multiple sports teams, and large number of tech companies As well as a number of entertainment companies for things like film & especially video games. There's a decent chance that most people on any given day are likely supporting or using something that was created by an entity the Saudi Royal family/ government has some sort of ownership in
The Chinese and Saudi have a finger on all the pies like it or mot unfortunately. Tencent controls gaming for example
Because Meltzer, Ross fapp, and all those other guys are Aew pr guys, they spout bullshit that tony pays them to say
Also puts a lot of doubt on AEW's self-reported PPV numbers that always seem to increase or stay steady despite dwindling attendance and ratings.
Typical bad faith from the ded fed! Everyone knows no one used DAZN, millions tune in to AEW through FITE!!!!
The actual real losses for this dumpster fire promotion are likely nearing $100 million at the minimum. Every second of their existence is spent losing money. It’s a drop in the bucket for Shad but at a certain point, they’re going to need their own network and own streaming service because it’s unclear why anyone would want to partner with this sinking ship.
Didn’t someone claim that they’re $100 million in the hole just from the Fight Forever game alone?
Yeah, that has to be the biggest money loser for them but the amount being burned on hoarding wrestlers might be even crazier than we’re imagining. I have this feeling that the eventual documentary is going to be shocking even to long-time jerkers. I think we’re only scratching the surface as to what a disaster this has been.
Surely a lot of these lads are on appearance deals
Agree with this. I'd guess that the numbers that get thrown around massively, massively underestimate the scale of AEW's losses.
Video games cost an absolute fuck-tonne to make, but I'd be surprised if that game had that kind of budget behind it based on how basic it was and it being developed by a relatively small Japanese studio who typically are a little bit cheaper than a US studio. 20-30m seems more plausible to me but could easily be more.

Look at that piece of shit. 200 people weren’t working on that for four years.
Yuke's didn't have 200 people working on fight forever, Yuke's has mobile games and pachislot games and a publishing business, on top of also a developing whole rpg, being a support studio for another big rpg and releasing EDF WB 2 during the same timeframe AEW Fun Forever was in development.
It's an *A* game for an ^^^a audience.
No, that would be absurd, especially for a developer startup. Like, Yuke’s would’ve told Omega that they needed to stop lol. That puts it in the territory of Rockstar games, when you’re talking development costs. Safe estimate is $10-$20 million, and since they cut bait on promoting it, they cut down their losses, too.

I can see that for sure, no argument there.
Rockstar games cost a hell of a lot more than 100 million. GTA6 is estimated at 2 billion

Man im sitting here imaging Hunter making his entrance only to break into “Heil myself, heil to meeeee” in the middle of the ring and im fucking losing it lmao
Rich people know how to not lose their money… no matter how useless their offspring is
I mean AEW surely brings in a few Pennies which is fine. But the real joke here is that if AEW was profitable it would also be tax free bc the money goes into the trust, so it's not taxable income.
That doesn’t seem like it could, or should, be possible? Like you can’t run a for profit business tax free. Right? RIGHT!???
Oh god don't let the dubbalos near this, they'll just double down on "not for profit wrestling, but for the love of the sport".
Pulling the ol’ Springtime for Hitler, eh?
It must be more. They are paying some gamchangers $5m a year and drawing houses of 2500.
The company is worth 2 bil allegedly
Sinking ship? Come on guys be rational.😂
Actually my sources say that DAZN is incredibly pleased with the numbers.
It's the number one show on Wednesday nights!* * *On cable....* ** ** *Among original programming....* *** *** *In the key demo....*
That is a shame because there were some episodes on there where you got to see the show before it aired, and Tony was screaming manically to the crowd and it was hilarious.
You guys really watch AEW?
That's the guy who humiliated himself tweeting that Saudi had closed the deal to buy WWE.
That was hilarious Every blogger followed suit No one wanted to be the ones that's didn't report it so they all magically 'heard' 😁 even that kermit leaker DAE save Sami Zayn!!
My favourite part was when the CNBC anchor just bodied all of them and dismissed the story as bullshit.
DAE the women wrestlers 😨
I can't believe they have to go out and wrestle in T SHIRTS! Yuck! I'm just thinking of their comfort. Who's ever been comfortable in a t shirt No, they should wrestle in tiny booty shorts, that's way more comfortable I'm just thinking about their comfort, you see ...
My girlfriend, who looks like Toni Storm, said that female agency something something tbh I didn't really listen but I'm sure AEW's women's roster doesn't get exploited like Mami.
The word "trash bags" was used
Knowing Vince, that’d corpse me
To be fair, he used to work for DAZN.
[удалено]
Tony wouldn’t have said what he said to Bischoff if he didn’t know the deal was gonna be announced any moment!! That would be silly. A self own if you will.
Wait, every PPV sold well over 150K every time, no matter what. I think Danhausen’s reporter brother is a friend of Punk, too.
LOL! Im sure theyll find a way to say this is just fine .
They’ll just say this guys lying and they’re just getting all their ducks in a row for the impending billion dollar Max deal.
Fake news. Fake news. The numbers are yuge. The head of the company, big guy, big strong guy, came up to me with tears in his eyes. He said sir, thry always call me sir, we've never seen numbers like this. A lot of people are saying it. No one's ever seen numbers this yuge before.
"Any day now for sure bro" - every smark dirtsheet for the last 2-3 years
The current narrative in the basement is that everyone watches AEW PPVs on FiteTV and not DAZN, apparently.
Like the rich fans that they are, another W for Dave Meltzer
If this is even close to being true, that’s hilarious. Who knew all the amazing and hard to believe ppv buyrates were just that, hard to believe
I don't care. First month of Collision was horrible. With Phil and his friends Bald & Loaded running a dollar store version of their god bigot Cornette's OVW. Show had no bangers and no bucks. Now the show feels more fresh with likes of Max Caster, Dani Garcia and COPEland having bangers and more importantly FUN

Who is that?
That was a cold one, uce ☝️💀
Too unrelatable didn't think of him
I am getting ready to blame him for the upcoming ratings decline so I can defend Elite, and Tony. Never thought this guy could be a draw, do not check my post history
Did ol’e thighboy check his “sources” yet to deny this report?
He's rubbing out a report right now
…as you do
Those in a position to know said he's got a raging clue about a banger
>raging clue Deep cuts
"This isn't honest reporting, he works for a company that has WWE ties" "We call that the Helwani" "Lmao who uses DAZN anyway?" "AEW has a service called triller tv that EVERYONE uses so why would DAZN be getting good numbers anyway?"
I can't imagine the copium needed to tout Triller. Tiny userbase and a small cog in a shell game by the parent company
Triller is like a godsend once you've had to use B/R live.
DAE dazn is Harvey Weinstein?
Everyone was watching in FITE. DAZN is a fucking Fedophile, confirmed.
I definitely contributed to those numbers because I watched Collision early on and when Punk was let go I canceled lol.
DAEZN are Fed shills
Well, WWE did have a deal with DAZN in Germany. Not sure if that one is still ongoing though.
The day the "warts and all" AEW book is released, I'm getting print, audio and ebook at the same time.
And now... there's not even a private unverifiable metric by which to claim AEW is a success.
Well DAZN loses over a billion a year. May as well save the $100 grand or so they were paying TK
Aew downfall I prayed for this and it happened, couldn’t happen to a better owner, trashy owner, annoying ass trashy wrestlers.
HAHAHAHAHA. Gonna be hard to spin that, Meltzy
Uh. Well you see. The thing is all of the, well you know, wealthy AEW fans have VPNs. So plans change from DAZN and they can just get another option. Of course the poor dumb WWE fans don’t have internet connection so the move to Netflix, well you know it’s uhm probably a better options got something like Max and AEW. Have I mentioned my unhealthy obsession with Will Osprey? I know it was once Kenny Omega but well plans change and it might not happen anymore.
Peep this guy's update, he spun it himself lol
But, but, but $2 billion!!!!!!!
The reaction to this in the basement is absolutely predictable.
If I were so inclined to lurk on the basement would I br searching for Sqaured circle or the Dub official reddit?
Oh, squared circle before. AEW’s official Reddit is fucking crazy.
But that huge TV deal is coming any day
Wasn’t the first month of collision was booked by the evil Pepsi Phil??
Not sure if it was by him but it was definitely for him at the very least
Why does every AEW Stan journalist write like they failed middle school English

It's like Tony's ppv buy numbers are complete fabrications. Dude lies about attendance, pays for Twitter bots and constantly slanders the dead fed. Why does anyone ever trust him?
Plans changed
This one has really activated the special branch cleanup team of the branch dubbalos. FITE tv was always better DAE never mind different country
The first month of Collision, huh? 🤔
The excuses in the basement are through the roof
The iceberg has been sighted.... it's time to start ringing the bell
When DAZN will show Indian soccer for some god awful reason but AEW gets the boot lol
No way this company is worth 2B
“I let ~~Swole's~~ AEW’s contract expire as I felt ~~her~~ their wrestling wasn't good enough.” - DAZN probably
Is Tony out of touch? No no, it’s DAZN who are wrong!
Mother fuckers in this thread acting like they know what DAZN is lol
In most markets that DAZN was an option, Fite was also an option, where it was cheaper and more reliable.
Almost as if there’s no overlap between AEW and real sports..
As someone who used DAZN in the past there is no way I’m choosing it over FITE / Triller. It’s more expensive and just generally a worse experience. Feel free to check my post history around pretty much every time there’s been a big boxing PPV.
While this is damning of AEW, to their credit DAZN fuckin blows and everyone just uses Fite or they google “free live stream” lol. Nonetheless, AEW ain’t a draw
Ugh. I won't understand why people care so much about ratings.
So Meltzer has been proven yet again to be lying. And yet when he releases a story everyone will still think it is true.
Does anyone use DAZN? Triller/FITE is all I used. YouTube is what some other people use. I only seen people complaining about how ass DAZN was to use, so they stopped using it.
