According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, it translates pretty dang well. On a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio (transcribed by 411Mania), Meltzer reported that pay-per-view buys were up for both B/R Live (who carried the show domestically for $49.99 USD) as well as FITE TV (who carried it internationally for $19.99 USD). While FITE TV’s numbers were expected to increase, as they were the only way to see the event in the U.K. following the sudden closure of ITV’s Box Office service, having the domestic numbers go up as viewed as “a good sign,” Meltzer says, adding that the B/R Live numbers are up “over 10 percent” from AEW’s previous pay-per-view, Full Gear, which did approximately 100,000 buys worldwide.
fullgears buyrate sounds like number inflation anyway.

>fite was up 10% that means it everything else did well
that isn't how it works Magoo
Oliver Harris
>According to Dave Meltzer So the real buyrate is about 50k.

Full gear did 98k. They dont get the full whack of $50 a PPV the box office, its normally 45%, as the hosters get 45% and the last 10% is for promotional/advertising costs. We'll round up say $25 a sale to make it easier
Wrestlezone reported at least 1/4 of full gear viewership was UK/Rest of World (about 17/18$, we'll round up to 20 to make it easier so say 10 as 50% cut.)
So..US 75,000 x $25.00 =1,875,000 UK/RoW 25,000 x $10.00 =250,000
So taking the elevated numbers and round ups, distributor cut, promo/advertising cut already done. We're talking $2.1 million from full gear, but its likely 2 million.
Its not something to celebrate when the networks taking 13 to 14 million a month.

The numbers don't lie.
Michael Jenkins
Which is precisely why you havent see anyone of the AEW hierarchy boast about the PPV numbers and sales. Its not something to jump up and down.
Rounding up the numbers isnt unfair, because we'll never know exact country numbers. So here and there is reasonable to be generous upping numbers.
And you don’t release semen onto real women What’s the point?

>Its not something to celebrate when the networks taking 13 to 14 million a month in a age where a large company has devalued the price of large shows in consumers eyes by selling them for next to nothing over their streaming service, of course it's something to celebrate you fucking idiot. wwe has been around longer than youve been alive creating it's monopoly and this tiny company is more successful than it has any right to be. the fact you're even comparing the two is idiotic

>No actual numbers Curiously this only happens with AEW

It's WWE network, not IMPACTplus You actually have to pay at least for a month, they don't give you free month just to join.
Charles Taylor
Just how retarded are you user?
Blake Long
looks like the chIMPACTzees are triggered
Grayson Williams
First month's free. You should know since Michael Cole has probably told you ten thousand times.
Asher Stewart
You obviously failed your ESL exam. First month is free with every subscription, you have to pay $9.99 for a sub first. You should learn to english, pajeet.

LMAO Sure they are. >Implying they even have a million PAID subs for the network >Breaking down costs for PPV but not breaking down costs for streaming services >The cost of producing programming for said network Imagine making a decent post and then exposing yourself as an idiot by adding that last line.
