From what I've heard, Max can't support live PPV on their platform yet, live streaming for subscribers yes, but not the separate PPV gimmick that UFC does on ESPN. That's probably why it just ended up being available on all the providers, makes me think they gave up on getting PPV on Max and Bleacher Report by itself wasn't acceptable enough

Yeah, I was about to reply that I don't think Max has live capabilities and they may not even want to. I'm sure it's expensive.

For the record, though. The Forbidden Door that just happened in what June? Is already on there so I think it'll be 30 days later at most.

They have live, they've done some things. But it's specifically the PPV part, paying a separate fee to watch a specific thing, that they can't manage.

And I don't think AEW will ever switch to an inclusive streaming thing like WWE bc people aren't crazy overpaying for those rights anymore, they'll make more money with their 100k+ buys per

It’s definitely the one that just happened.

I even played to make sure it works.

Apps antipiracy for snapshots is also on point. Crazy that it just blacks out the screen.

Oh for the record, I believe Blaze did mean free PPV like peacock if you already have a subscription.

But yeah, that’s what I meant in my reply to him that AEW makes too much for PPV for max to pay enough to make it worth. Peacock also paid for it when they’d already been on WWE Network for a decade. AEW would require significantly more I’d imagine from WBD to offset the 100K+ buys per month. Which like you said wouldn’t offset the subscribers max brings. It wouldn’t be a win for them to do it.

WBD also already gets a cut of PPV through BR.

Yeah :lol I def meant like it being part of the deal. I know it won't happen, like I said it's just my hopes of something so I can watch them way easier than I do now. I not had any problems with the last few I had to watch off a stream, so it's not like I'm having any issues or anything. It just be nice to be able to watch, without having to turn on my PC :heston

I think this is a huge piece of insight that the WBD/AEW negotiations must be coming to close soon if they've approved the international deal.
One of the sticking points was Tony always wanting Max to be involved so it definitely sounds like it’s in the 8th inning

The vibes I was getting when it got brought up was he was never happy with the deal he got offered for the library, it was something they both wanted but couldn't agree on a dollar figure. Honestly feels like it was one of the bigger hold ups with the entire deal too

I actually clicked on that video to make sure that it was the current pay-per-view and it is indeed for forbidden door that took place last month. It plays and everything. So I don’t know what they’re talking about.

It won't affect Max in Canada because we don't have it :lol

We have a service named Crave that has a licensing deal with WBD so it's possible it could land there. TSN here, which is owned by the same company as Crave, has the weekly programming.
