Tony Khan Confirms He Doesn’t Get Same Information on HBO Max Viewers That He Does on TBS

Tony Khan touched on the ratings information that he gets from HBO Max on AEW, and says it’s not “remotely” what he gets from TBS. Khan spoke during the AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door about the information he gets, noting that he doesn’t know if he gets a million viewers between HBO Max and TBS but that it’s possible. You can see highlights below:

On if they’re hitting a million viewers between HBO Max & TBS: “I don’t know. I honestly — according to a report I saw, we may be. But also, I don’t exactly know because that’s the most detail I’ve seen.

“All I know is that we’re one of the top sports shows. I don’t know what the NBA streaming viewership was in the past, I’m not sure what the March Madness streaming viewership is. I don’t know the NHL streaming viewership. I can compare regular season NHL to AEW, and see — I think AEW has probably had a good chance to beat a very, very strong league in the sports tab on HBO Max.”

On their relationship with HBO Max: “I know they’re very excited about growing into the PPV business as well. So there’s going to be more and more opportunities to build that relationship with HBO Max and establish it as a great platform for AEW.”

On HBO Max: “I really believe HBO Max has the greatest content in the entire world. I think if you look — to me, the greatest television shows of all time are on HBO Max. And to be able to sit there and to be able just to exist on a platform that carries TV and sports like what’s on HBO Max, it’s a real honor and I wear it as a point of pride…

“But I honestly can’t say exactly. I don’t have remotely, not even 1% of the date I get on a TBS show. I know every minute, every demo… if they gave them to me, I’d be really breaking them down, believe me.”
