Tony Khan Says AEW Making “A Ton Of Money On All In”
Tony Khan has stressed the profitability of AEW All In.
AEW All In is set to be the biggest ticket-selling wrestling event in history with the total tickets sold for the show surpassing that of WrestleMania 32 in 2016.
Speaking to CNBC, Tony Khan has now touted the success of AEW All In and says days before the event even takes place it’s on track to become the company’s biggest pay-per-view event ever:
“We’re gonna make a ton of money on AEW All In. Frankly, before the pay-per-view, it’s a wildly profitable event based on the ticket sales which are massive, in the neigbourhood of ten million dollars in tickets we’ve sold. It’s really exciting, we’re gonna have 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, it’s gonna beat all kinds of attendance records and it’s gonna be just a great, great evening of pro wrestling in England.
“The pay-per-view advances have also been incredibly strong, our biggest in years, one of our top two of all time in fact, and possibly our biggest ever for pay-per-views when it’s all said and done. But it’s also so huge as a live event that it’s already guaranteed to be a big, profitable event.”
