  • Endeavor Group, parent company of TKO, reported a Q1 loss largely due to a hefty legal settlement but remains optimistic as it transitions to private ownership.
  • TKO secured a $25 million deal with NBCUniversal to extend WWE’s 'Monday Night Raw' broadcast rights through the end of 2024.
  • The UFC antitrust settlement cost TKO $335 million, impacting its short-term profits but clearing long-term legal uncertainties.
  • Endeavor’s total revenue hit $1.8 billion in Q1, bolstered by the strategic merger of UFC and WWE under the TKO banner.
