The feeling is that FOX can get WWE&#8217;s TV rights for about the same amount of money as UFC&#8217;s rights, but the network will net significantly higher ratings from WWE.<\/p>\n<p>The Observer report adds FOX was prepared to offer UFC $200 million for the TV rights, which is roughly half of UFC&#8217;s asking price, and right now the MMA giant averages about $150 million per year under their deal with FOX. WWE&#8217;s exclusive negotiating window with NBCUniversal expires this summer, at which time they will be free to formally negotiate with anyone, including FOX.<\/p>\n<div >Source :<\/p>\n<p >The Wrestling Observer Newsletter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div  >\n<div ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>Click Here: <a href='https:\/\/www.wieseldesign.com\/custom-injection-moulding' title='custom injection moulding'>custom injection moulding<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shane McMahon&#8217;s Smackdown Return Announced WWE has announced Shane McMahon will return to Smackdown tomorrow night, ahead of his WrestleMania 34 tag team match: #SDLive Commissioner @shanemcmahon RETURNS TOMORROW NIGHT at 8\/7c on @USA_Network just FIVE nights before teaming with @WWEDanielBryan against #KevinOwens &amp; @SamiZayn at #WrestleMania! pic.twitter.com\/0VDFuVqafT \u2014 WWE (@WWE) April 3, 2018 Big&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/googmn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/googmn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/googmn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/googmn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/googmn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8854"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/googmn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8854\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/googmn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/googmn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/googmn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
