Mania Incentive
By Scott Keith on 26 March 2020
There’s 0 ticket revenue and PPV buys are insignificant in the network era. I assume a rescheduled mania would still have a good gate at an arena and network views wouldn't be bad. So whats the main financial consideration driving mania still happening next week instead of postponing?
I don't think there is one. I think Vince was counting on someone like ESPN to agree to carry the show, and couldn't swing the deal. So now he's stuck airing it on the Network and wasting whatever value it might have had.
