WWE's RAW/SmackDown TV Deal Could Be Epic

2

On the YES! Network's Forbes SportsMoney TV show, Host Bob Lorenz and sports money experts Chris Bevilcqua and Michael Ozanian discuss the possible TV network deal WWE can acquire in the cable TV market place. WWE's current deal pays them $140 million per year, the experts prognosticate that WWE could earn upwards of six times that amount in a new deal. The experts cite WWE's Annual GRP or Gross Ratings Points and their *gulp* Social Media presence. WWE"s GRP is only bested by the NFL and in comparison to say Nascar's new TV deal with NBCUniversal, WWE could be looking at an epically large TV deal that could also include a TV Network or large enough monetarily to preclude WWE from starting one.
