Network Subscribers / Buyrates Question
By Scott Keith on April 12, 2014
Howdy Scott,
Do you know if they make the figures available as to what percentage of WWE's PPV buys, particularly for Wrestlemanias, typically come from Canada and other international sources? I guess I'm curious if it's crazy to think that upwards of 75-100K these people are out there, ready to subscribe to the Network and bump it's number closer to Vince's desired territory. Do you think the relatively low total is going to be explained when XXX's buyrate comes out?
Thanks,
E
Here's the actual numbers they release for investors:
As you can see, they only differentiate between "North America" and "International", without breakdowns by territory and such. However, a rough estimate would be about 10% of NA buys come from Canada. I think that a million subs for the Network is totally reasonable once they launch everywhere and in fact I was kind of thinking they would have announced it as such. Wrestlemania will be an interesting buyrate at any rate.
Also, Goldberg's DVD sold a shitload of copies for some reason.
