Earlier this week, WWE Chief Strategy and Financial Officer George Barrios spoke at the 42nd annual UBS Global Media and Communications Conference for Investors in New York City.

Of particular interest in Barrios’ slide show is WWE’s claim that of the top 16 global markets, 159 million households (51% of broadband homes), have an affinity for WWE. It said that 75 million homes are casual fans, while 23 million homes are passionate fans.
