TKO won’t go back. Their UFC event was a disaster

>>17983353
as anyone with half a brain couldve told them
the outside of the building is the draw, not the inside

>>17983353
What happened?

>>17983340 (OP)
I've been to the sphere and it would not be a wise decision for WWE to do so. There are not enough seats like a football stadium, so unless WWE is going back to a PPV model and making a stacked card to sell.it, then there is no reason to go somewhere smaller and miss out on profits. Also consider logistics like entrances, pyros, and out of the ring shenanigans; it just wouldn't work.

>>17983340 (OP)
NXT: Stand & Deliver will be at the Sphere

>>17983429
it costs millions to run it

>>17983441
They're getting paid millions to go to Vegas

>>17983455
I don't think TKO is going to waste millions to put on a show actually why am I replying to your dumbass

>>17983340 (OP)
The Sphere only seats 20,000 people at max capacity, and a significant portion of those seats would need to be cleared out for the ring area, stage, camera and production. Both nights of WrestleMania had 55,000-60,000 people. Why would they run the Sphere and sell less than 1/3 as many tickets as Allegiant Stadium?

>>17983465
They're getting paid to go there, learn English

>>17983471
This board is genuinely stupid that's why

>>17983402
>>17983402
They over priced their tickets and no one bought them. They comped like 3K seats but tried to pass it off as a sell out. Cheapest seats were $5000. They went head to head with Canelo who was in the T-Mobile arena

>>17983340 (OP)
>the Sphere
Imagine getting worked into thinking that shithole is good. It's a gimmick and a bad one at that

BASED CHADNELO DRAWING VEGAS

I realize no one will believe me but I used to work there and the main thing that kills any chance of TKO running it again is having to shoot 16K video / remaster content for the display. At a base level you would have to re-do every entrance motion graphic at 8K / 12K which is probably the cheapest version - UFC did a bunch a trickery but they still ended up doing iirc around 20 minutes of original content at 12K plus a bunch of other things.

It's the reason why they've gone with the residency model for concerts and other live events - you can at least pay once for a bunch of expensive content and use it 20-30 times.

Stop acting like you know how to run a multi-billion dollar business

The tech is incredible. Legitimately groundbreaking stuff in that building. But it's best for movies, theater, music, etc. It's no good for sports.

>>17983340 (OP)
Get used to it. Vegas is going to win the bid every year from now on.

>>17983596
there was a bunch of testing done prior to opening with a number of different sports (iirc they did some basic tests with pro wrestling) and the sightlines/seat pitch makes it tough in general

>>17983573
Just AI upscale it.

>>17983771
they use Topaz but it doesn't work for every piece of content you throw at it

>>17983604
I think ya gotta put some blame on New Orleans for blowing it.

>>17983504
He's the last true draw.

>>17983504
>hated by mexicans in mexico
>loved by mexicans in the US
now that's a dimes drawing gimmick

I just looked up clips of the UFC event there, seems like a waste of money for a sporting event.

>>17984642
All TKO events are a waste of money.
