WWE reportedly made a tidy sum from the sale of its old headquarters, Titan Towers

Only a few years ago, the Sports Entertainment juggernaut bid farewell to the iconic Titan Towers on 1241 East Main Street, Stamford, as it moved to its brand new headquarters at 677-707 Washington Boulevard, nearly 25 miles away. The sale of the old HQ reportedly got the company a good chunk of money.

According to CT Insider, Developer V20 Group paid a whopping $7.5 million to acquire the Titan Towers as well as two adjacent parcels. Considering the fact that WWE had utilized it for decades before shifting to its new HQ, the amount might not be considered a bad return on investment.

However, that amount pales in comparison to the yearly figures that the Stamford-based company makes on broadcast deals from RAW and SmackDown alone. The promotion is looking to continue to expand its source of revenue, a logical goal for any major company in the world.

However, some fans have been critical of certain measures that WWE has taken, including the introduction of a two-night SummerSlam that will guarantee an additional day of ticket revenue. It's seen by some as a cash grab during a time when people across North America (and the rest of the world) aren't doing too well economically.

Meanwhile, ticket prices for major events continue to skyrocket. The fact that the product is hot now means that fans have been willing to pay that price.
