Part of it is because ESPN pays them $300 million per year, and will do so for the next 7 years

And now that they're merged with WWE, they can include the $200 million NBC is paying for their network for the next 5 years, $200 million from FOX, and $265 million more from NBC for Raw on USA.

And the latter two deals are up soon, and they expect to get a lot more next time.

The amount of money live sports get has been inflating every year, but broadcast TV and cable are dying so the next one might have to be a streaming deal.

F1 gets round $90 million a year from ESPN, which sounds low but they broadcast at weird times in the US. On another note, Liberty Media was second in the running to buy WWE before Endeavor got them.. now that would be a weird merger!
