Recently speaking at MoffettNathanson’s Inaugural Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference, WWE CEO Nick Khan addressed the speculation regarding the company heading to Australia for a big stadium show in the near future. He said,
“So, look, they’ve (UFC) done a number of successful shows in Australia. We did an Australian stadium show that wasn’t televised pre-pandemic. So, we didn’t monetize it properly. So, a government subsidy for that show is something that folks are working on. So to get that, which obviously decreases our cost risks on that and to do a show in Australia where we have what we think is a pretty big, new deal with Foxtel which is a FOX/News Corp company. To do a show there on a date or a month that is good for them, it’ll kickstart that relationship off the right way.”
During the same appearance, Nick Khan was also asked and discussed what drove Vince McMahon to sell his company to the Endeavor Group, going as far as to detail a private conversation with Vince McMahon prior to the sale. You can check that out here.
