10 Reasons WrestleMania 32 Could Be Dropped From WWE Network
9. The Mayweather Vs Pacquiao Effect
The pay per view numbers for Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao were extraordinary. Industry experts always expected the boxing bout would deliver buys, but no one ever really believed the figure of 4.4 million was possible. It is a figure that almost doubled the previous PPV record. It also proved that fans will pay way more for what they perceive to be a can't miss event. At one hundred dollars, it was expensive, but fans still bought it in record numbers. As a businessman, Vince McMahon will be looking at that. Austin versus Lesnar is the Mayweather vs Pacquiao of pro wrestling. Why give it away for ten dollars on the WWE Network when you could charge up to a hundred dollars on pay per view?
