Re: WPTE changes CFO
ESPN is willing to pay much more than the Travel Channel, thus the lawsuits over the PPT.
ESPN is also a much better market for the WPT. But no, they're stuck with the Travel Channel now. Would you rather be on ESPN or the Travel Channel? Would you brand be stronger on the TC or ESPN? How much money have you made so far with TC?
That's great that got $10mil upfront, but they still lost $5mil last year, which is pretty much unbelievable at this stage in the poker industry.
Say what you want about there TV deal, but I'm around people that know the situation pretty well. WPTE has done a terrible job making money, no one can dispute that.
