Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 3337422, member: 767"] Obviously missing out on the Mania gate (and all the other live gates as well) hurts, but I think the Mania live gate is generally in the vicinity of $15 million (last year in NY was about $17 million, I'll take this right from the Observer "Keep in mind that WWE figures gate as a combination of ticket sales plus the surcharges that the ticket outlet takes, facility fees and suite revenues. For a comparison, a boxing or MMA gate, and for that matter the gate for any other promotion, would just be based on the face value of the ticket, not including the facility fees, ticket outlets percentage or the suites, since the suite revenue goes to the building and not the event promoter. ". For some perspective, they make about $8.5 million every week from their Smackdown/Raw TV deals. So financially, even with all this, they have never been in better position. [/QUOTE]
