I'd say it's probably a couple of billion, at least, but there are definitely complications.
One hand, they just got $200 mil a year to exclusively license their library and new content to Peacock, so the purchase price of that alone would normally warrant a billion or two in the asking price.
The problem is that that deal likely limits their realistic prospective buyers to just Comcast. Anyone else would probably low-ball an offer because they have to either share content with Comcast, or pay them to walk away. And if you're Comcast, whatever amount you offer is probably an amount based off what they're already paying as part of their existing agreements, meaning they're probably not coming in with a heavy offer, at least not initially.

They sold the network for a billion and that was over a five year deal. The entirety with the tapes and ip has to be worth over $5B. MGM just sold for $9B to Amazon.
There's a content war too.. so you'd probably have Universal bidding against another entity though i believe Universal would probably get it.

Na, that’s too much. The E may have got billion dollar deals, but they’re stretched by years. I don’t see it going for anything above 3.5 bil right now.
And
thinking posters have some agenda for fantasy selling. Dudes just throwing numbers. It ain’t serious. 
Don't matter how much he sells it for. The fact that he has 2 children that have been involved in the business as well as a son in law that is involved as well plus six grandchildren as potential future owners, and is a company that his father created, and he took over and raised and grew into the most successful wrestling company in the world with lucrative tv deals, worldwide fan base with ticket and merchandise sales all over the globe, not to mention the tv deals, toys, video games, the money they made from the network and now with peacock and everything else combined, it would be a complete embarrassment and disappointment to his family for him to sell the company. A company that has been in the McMahon name for what, like 50 years? And one that could be in the family name for another 50 years or longer. I think he'd end up regretting it if he did sell. Be like he failed at the business in the end.

10 years from now, The Rock will be a bidder.
That's why I question all of these rumors and stories about him selling the company. The Coli always talks up ownership, but think that Vince selling the company is a good idea lol. The man is 75 years old, so it's not like he'd be able to reap the benefits financially long term if he sold the company based on his age.
I've yet to hear a good plausible explanation of why he should sell the company other than people hating how they have operated over the years.
