True. Its also called their PPV(outside Mania, RR) were doing worse then Boxing/UFC
UFC should have a similar option.

I still SMH @ people who questioned Vince for the WWE network, that shyt is genius and they will eventually drop the tv deals once the shift happens. TV and PPV is an old antiquated business model that needs to die. It worked out for Floyd Mayweather, but at the end of the day...subscriptions are where the real money is at in the long run for a business. The WWE I am sure did the math, most wrestling heads would probably order just one PPV...Mania. $120 > $60 and you also have to consider the cut the cable companies get...it just makes perfect business sense. Vince is a great business man.

All the boxing heads here on the coli will probably pay $20 a month to watch all the boxing piff they want if they were to get all boxing federations to agree on a split for licenses and get HBO/Showtime outta here :camby:

We would literally be able to see boxing every single day if we wanted to and the money the organizations would get would be astronomical once you consider the worldwide audience....they'd be raking it in so much that the loss of a PPV won't even matter.

I don't have a specific link. Meltzer discussed how WWE is losing money currently on the network and their TV deal. UFC revenue continues to grow and they have been doing better on PPV for years

But does UFC have more revenue then the WWE as you claimed?

Time will only tell. The network has not meet expectations so far. They are still giving out free months and stock continues to tank everytime they announce sub numbers. PPV is not dying. Floyd has just shown that if an attraction is out there, ppl will pay.
