Jeff Jarrett recently talked about a wide range of topics on his My World podcast.
During the podcast, the AEW star discussed UFC 306 at the Sphere in Las Vegas and how much he heard it cost to run it.
“I heard the number was 20 million. Wembley Stadium, next week Arthur Ashe, built for tennis, wrestling next Wednesday but it ain’t cheap. When I put on my promoter cap and really look at the [return on investment] on what do you have to charge, and I know you’re not gonna get it back on the live event, it’s just I would say impossible. To run a show in the sphere, I don’t see it happening within the next twelve months. I just don’t. I may be wrong, but you’ve got to gross a boatload of revenue just to get to sea level.”
“It will be interesting, I don’t know. I read a couple of different followers over the weekend about what that UFC event cost. A lot of revenue has got to be generated for that to make sense.”
