- Nick Khan recently spoke during day one of the CAA World Congress of Sports (via Sports Business Journal), commenting on the success of Monday Night Raw, FOX wanting more live TV, and feeling WWE's sponsorship numbers should be better.
“It’s the highest-rated show on USA, times three,” he said of “Raw” on Monday nights. “Our belief is USA wants to keep it that way. … For Fox, they want more live. They want more on scripted. You saw what they did with the Big Ten. We think those are all good indicators for us.” A number to remember from Khan: 40%. That’s the percentage of the WWE audience that are women. “Our sales and sponsorship numbers should be far bigger than what they are.”
- WWE Friday Night SmackDown corespondent Megan Morant ran the Boston Marathon in under three hours.
