Can't see Vincec selling WWE...long term profits + blood sweat and tears versus short term cash out. Starting from a trailer with nothing and ending up with a billion + is not bad for thee McMahon family.

If UFC was to walk from their deal with FOX (which has a real chance of happening, since UFC feel severely undermarketed by FOX), it will be a huge win for WWE any way you'll cut it.
USA will want to keep WWE, and FOX will make a play for WWE. And a bidding war will commence, with WWE retaining not just the ability to make a lot of cash but also dictate the terms of their deal. Pretty sure the 3 Hour RAW was put in play by the USA Network who wanted to reap more from RAW's ability to pull in abnormal figures on monday nights, hence why they also went in for SD Live when their SyFy deal ended because SDLive manages to be somewhat comparable in being able to get consistently high ratings for their time slot and competition. If FOX tables a massive deal that blows USA out of the water, then odds are the 3 Hour show might easily revert back to being a 2 hour affair. Not just because of the newscast at 10, but because WWE probably prefers that. If USA outbids FOX, WWE could also negotiate the show back to 2 hours if that's what WWE wants. However it is played, WWE would be set to make out like bandits. |

If TNA/GFW goes to Twitch PopTV might get in on the bidding war too

I hear TNA/GFW/Impact's next TV deal could be worth 4 figures. POSSIBLY 5.

Unless they'd offer something in the range of UFC money ($3 billion), don't see Vince selling WWE and losing all his real power over the company.
Would probably need something like an investor's rebellion or a hostile takeover by FOX to make it happen. |

Can't imagine RAW on network TV. SD was on UPN for awhile but that didn't count. Plus RAW would get pre emptrd for the World Series or something again like it used to with Tennis

Very intriguing news. For some reason, I just expect the status quo, but a 2-hour Raw on network television is probably very good for them. I can see Vince selling, to be honest. I honestly think being owned by Disney would be him "making it" in his mind.

Could argue the 3rd hour has been the main reason why the WWE has been profitable during their current tv deal. Also pretty much has been subsiding the huge sums of money spent on the Network. |
