They don't care. Jeff just wants to be seen. He wants people to love him and invite him to all the cool parties.

To a certain extent yeah.
But he has some good management.
He damn near shutdown Amazon movies and television after citadel and lotr flops.
I can see them quickly pulling the plug if they don't get roi
Sports usually always works 9 times out of 10.
It’s not high since neither company has released the numbers. But NBA on Amazon could get at least 1 million for a regular season game if the matchups are solid imo

No it doesn't especially when you overpay.
Look at ESPN and how they are a money loser for overbidding on MNF, and college football contracts.
Nah man fukk that. Ernie Shaq Kenny and Chuck better get TNT off their ass and do something.
TNF and NBA on thursday is gonna crash amazon
TNF and NBA on thursday is gonna crash amazon
That's their parent company Disney losing and wasting money on other ventures like Disney+, their amusement parks, trash Marvel and Star Wars shows and movies, buying Fox, etc. Paying for MNF and college football has never been the issue for Disney/ABC/ESPN
Amazon has been waiting on this moment for years. It’s one of the NBA biggest tech supporters behind Meta and Google.
I really hope they put a good team in place because Al seems washed up

That's highly misleading.
Typically espns losses are hidden in other sectors and made up by parks.
That is part of the reason there is a external auditor coming in.
ESPN failing is part of the reason Disney is getting ready to sell it
ESPN used to be Disney’s cash cow. Now, its revenue is declining, and Bob Iger is looking to sell a stake
The sports network depends on cable TV for revenue. But cable is on the decline since the rise of streaming.

Nah like I said before ESPN is a loser, historically their losses and failures and overruns were covered up by Disney parks wholly
I'm pretty sure Warner Brothers Discovery is going to retain the NBA. They're doing a trial run during their negotiation window with the NBA that runs until May 2024 to do streaming of the NBA on TNT on Max.
With a New Tournament and Streaming Home, the NBA Is a Big Bet for Warner Bros. Discovery
The NBA's first in-season tournament, combined with the launch of B/R Sports on Max, is making for a critical NBA season for WBD Sports, and that's before you factor in upcoming rights talks.

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Actually go look at the recent Financials. EsPN is profitable
Also Jeff Bezos greenlit a bunch of shytty shows on Prime Video that cost astronomical money that aren't getting traction
