All you Liv backers shouldn't be able to watch the PGA for the next 3 years.


Wait, you watch golf? You know the Masters is independent right?

You are probably right. I hate TKO and The Rock now. Bring back Vinny Mac.

Vince's personal misgivings aside, Cornette said it best on his podcast: McMahon would have never priced out the working-class fans that were his bread and butter.

How will this workout for players wanting to return to the PGA?


Make the players pay a big arse fine and then still go through Q school. While they were playing 54 holes in shorts, young golfers were working their asses off and earning their cards. The PGA shouldn’t give them an easy ticket back, make them have to start all over. And a lifetime ban for Mickleson, that phony POS.

It's not like he's routinely behind the wheel zonked out on pills. The PGA would never speak ill of someone who does that.

Yes, Wrestlemania sales are soft.

I dream of a day where Vincent Kennedy McMahon buys the WWE back from TKO for pennies on the dollar.

They’ve already invested $5 billion, and will cross the $6B mark by the end of this year. Sooner or later they have to see a return on all that money. Contrary to popular belief, the Saudi royals do not have unlimited funds.

These Arab wealth funds have like $5-6T. Saudi sovereign fund is over $1T with a goal of $2T by 2030.

If they’re pulling the plug, likely because they’re battening down the hatches and preparing for a lengthy military conflict and cutting out shite to redirect money toward defense to limit US reliance for security while watching their oil exports fall off a cliff with Hormuz being closed.

Or maybe they realized the LIV experiment wasn’t producing whatever results they’re looking for. I don’t understand why you think that they aren’t expecting some meaningful ROI just because they have deep pockets. I assure you they treat investments like everyone else. Regardless of their trillions. I don’t see how LIV has done anything they expected it to do for them. It forced the PGA to change, but it hasn’t
Produced any meaningful results for the PIF. So if they’re pulling the plug, it’s understandable.

It’s peanuts to them. Be like a guy with a $100MM portfolio pulling the plug on a $5k operational expense that he was using as a PR campaign for the west as they try to change world perception to draw future investors in Saudi Arabia.

They’re hurting bad for cash flows because their oil exports have fallen by 3 million barrels per day, and there is no end to this conflict in sight. LIV is an operational expense, not an investment. These are funds buying key public infrastructure and massive holdings in our AI boom. You don’t sell that shite for your war chest, you strip out OPEX.

And now they’re saying the show goes on.
