funny how these ppv buys remain the same despite all the other collapsing metrics, funny that the only source for those ppv buys are from tony himself. does he know that to make it look legit he has to change the numbers a bit?

Nice number and, realistically, it seems like about 10% of the TV audience buys every single PPV. That’s insanely good, really shows how loyal the AEW audience is.

140,000 x $30 average price (Euro buys, $40 on MAX, etc)
Assume a VERY generous 65% cut, 35% going to cable/streaming operators
= $2,730,000

Incredible stuff. The Dead Fed is only making $27,000,000/mo from ESPN for PLEs.

It was a decent PPV card by AEW standards, but "same as Full Gear" and "biggest buyrate since All In" mean nothing. All metrics have been trending downward for the past four years. Beat a 2022 or even a '23 number and then get back to me.

Is there a way to independently confirm this or do we just take Meltzer's word for it? It seems a stretch to see AEW's audience disappear but their ppv is allegedly steady

the guys who used to leak fast natties every week if they were bad? and tried to counter book half of aew's ppvs last year?
yeah if they had any kind of bad news they'd leak it but they dont. the guys in the big boy chairs were from the ppv company not the ple company.

in wrestling? absolutely not. there's a finite audience of tards you can get to watch this stuff and these tards have limited hours in the day.
if the fed wanted to raise tides they wouldnt have counter booked half of the aew ppvs this year.
