DigOutYourSoul Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 42 minutes ago, Cardinal Richelieu said: I assume you mean $50? Even so, that's very expensive. I enjoy a spot of wrestling, but I doubt I'd ever pay that. Yeah, sorry. $50. PPVs in the states are insanely priced. Wilder Fury for example was $75 I'm sure and the Money in the Bank PPV a couple of weeks back was priced at $59.99. Doing 98,000 buys at that price for a promotion which has essentially only ever had one event is pretty good going along with a 15,000 live gate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone pay that for a one-off event like MitB when they can get it and every other event on the Network for only $10 per month? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, and In Your House showed this in the 90s, if you price your PPVs at a premium price it’ll be perceived as a premium product and people will buy it. Lower it, and it’s seen as a lower quality product. As long as AEW don’t do PPVs every month they could probably get away with $50. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Internet in USA isn't great, but I'd say it's adequate for 90% of the population to stream content. I see what you're saying re: premium content but it seems sheer madness. Kinda like sports shoe manufacturers creating £2,000 shoes that aren't really different from £200 shoes but if they don't charge customers that then someone else will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyter Fest will take place in just over 2 weeks, here's what we have for that: Michael Nakazawa vs Alex Jebailey in a hardcore match. Yuka Sakazaki vs Riho vs Nyla Rose. Christopher Daniels vs Cima. Cody vs Darby Allin. Jon Moxley vs Joey Janela. Adam Page vs Jimmy Havoc vs Jungle Boy vs MJF. The Elite (Kenny, Matt & Nick) vs Lucha Brothers & Mystery Partner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again we are talking about WWE in 2019 so that won't happen anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'm more likely to watch UFC that night but it's a good card to catch up on for the Sunday. Looking forward to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I assume if you're getting the PPV, you can buy it at a later time and watch on demand rather than live? Not sure I'd stay up for one (can barely manage staying up for the big 4 WWE ones anymore) but would be interested in catching it the next day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
