Reply to comment by Cappy2020 in Vince McMahon Wants $9 Billion for His WWE Wrestling Media Empire by Sisiwakanamaru

3.2Billion people watched at least some of the premier league in 2019/2020.

Of those the vast majority are going to know a team that has been in the top 5 for 26 of the 30 years its been running and won it 13 times.

It’s a massive and illogical leap to go from 3.2bn people watched at least some of the Premier League (so certainly not even a whole game and no guarantee it was a Man Utd game at that), and then deduce from that the majority of those people know about Man Utd, let alone support it financially (through ticket or merchandise purchases etc), which is what accrues such big value to these brands.

Moreover, albeit according to WWE themselves, their programming reaches over 1.2bn people a year worldwide.
