you don't really put any tv on friday to drum in ratings

FOX executives are only a step ahead of the Saudis

This ad plays everyday on Fox News. You're all underestimating the amount of boomers that will bring in
Nolan Turner
advertisers don't give a shit about boomers
smackdown could pull a 6million in ratings and if it were 90% boomers it would be considered a failure

Explain why FOX dropped the UFC and paid WWE $1.2 billion instead
You are so fucking stupid, being brain dead is a few level of intelligence above you.
If what you are saying is true then Sean Hannity, Rachel Maedow and all the cable news would be cancelled and all the money would've gone to WWE instead because WWE top the 18-49 demo on cable each week despite having significantly less viewership than them.

Meltzer said Fox getss 900,000 viewers in that timeslot, WWE will easily beat that bu 50,000.

Fox is promoting the hell out of it on their football/baseball broadcasts
Brayden Jones
It’s not that they expect it to fail, it’s that they realize Rock and Stone Cold are the most recent wrestlers most of the people watching those ads are even aware of. WWE has categorically failed to make any more stars as big as those two and that was twenty years ago.
Jose Baker
The only people who will watch this are those housed in county jail.
Meaning this shit is about to have a ratings bonanza!
Easton Wilson
lmao cry about it you dumb faggot
Jason Cox
Wrestling fans are typically losers and have nothing to do on Friday nights. Hardcore MMA fans are a lot less common than smarks desu

>FOX dropped the UFC
I'm still unclear about this. What's the reason for Fox dropped UFC?
Brody Lee
Something to do with exclusivity, or not finding the right price point to do joint stuff with ESPN+.
>It appears that FOX, when making the deal, was not willing to continue its previously on the table $200 million offer for UFC, since the next day reports were that UFC’s television rights were going to ESPN for $150 million in a separate deal from the ESPN+ streaming deal announced last week.
>Both UFC and ESPN on 5/23 officially confirmed both the television and the streaming deal, pushed as a $300 million per year average combined deal worth $1.5 billion and covering the period from January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2023.
>FOX was wanting exclusivity for UFC, although was willing to accept a joint offer, but not at the $10 million per show price tag, although that figure is a little misleading because there is a lot of other programming involved. FOX told WME IMG last week that they were pulling their offer off the table, which clearly coincided with using that $200 million budgeted and offered to sign WWE.
>It’s notable that they, in making the choice, felt 52 weeks of Smackdown on Friday nights was more valuable than 20 UFC shows combined with the ancillary programming that to a degree carried FS 1 and dominated programming on FS 2, which will now have hundreds of hours that would be needed to fill. FS 1 does consider ESPN its prime rival, so UFC going to ESPN may have changed the dynamic as compared if they had gone with NBC or Turner.
>One television insider who alerted us first about the FOX negotiations with WWE, said, “UFC played chicken with FOX and lost.”
Sebastian Adams
Fox shows on fridays get sub 1 million views.
If it's around 2 they'll come up ahead because of retard jew advert rates.
Robert Barnes
This is according to Meltzer who would never admit that he is wrong and repeatedly claimed for the last 4 years that WWE would get a much reduced TV fees from their last deal because they aren't popular and losing viewers yearly.
According to a former FOX TV executive, FOX was struggling to get advertisers for the UFC, who knew a literal human dog fight, is not PG and some advertisers don't want to associate their brand with it. They also said after doing the number, viewership and ad rates being considered, WWE shows are much better value than UFC programming.
Dylan Moore
No so it will be funny when it does
Sebastian Rivera
Unironically really love this ad bros. i enjoy it every time it comes on, pure kino
Hunter Russell
Alicia Fox on Fox would have been great, damn WWE and their hushed forced retirement of her.
Adrian Stewart
I love how wwe gaslights the roster and the audience by telling them that the product is better now than it was back then and yet they use footage to from 24 years ago to sell their sōy product to the casual audience that won't watch their 'doink the clown' childish product to beigi with. wwe today has a roster of jobbers to make itself the center of attention.
Isaiah Hughes
The WWEs fanbase is generally over 50
Aaron Martin
Are you retarded? Fox News gets the highest ratings every night. But because their median viewer age is like 70 the only advertisers they get are shit like catheters and gold coins.
Easton Reyes
so why aren't they cancelled and replaced with programs that drew dimes?
STUPID STUPID STUPID
Noah Hill
Because there's still money to be made in boomers. But the $205 million they pay to WWE for Smackdown is probably higher than the entire Fox News budget.
Evan Ward
The fuck you are talking about?
Fox News literally spent $150+ million just to settle Bill O'reilly sexual harassment law suits alone, they have bigger budget than that.
