Did anyone ever get what the buyrate was for the WFA ppv?

How long does it take to get that info?

i don't know, but i was talking to maurice smith a few months back and he said they didn't do too well.

What is the usual source for such information? Anybody know?

PPV buyrates take forever to get. They have to collect data and figures from a billion places before the real number is out. I'm sure an early estimate is out by now, and while I don't recall a specific number, the only business-info I've read on the WFA show has all been pretty bad. They apparently didn't do too well on that show, at least not considering all they put into it.

I know the wrestlingobserver usually puts out the UFC numbers but i don't know if they'll do the same for the WFA if they don't think it's a story.

I'm just curious to know how close i came on my predictions. I had them at 20,000 max.

One thing that I consider to be a reason why they didn't do well was that in Canada it wasn't even on until a week later and by then just about everyone already knew the results. I was going to order it that night live until I found out it wasn't on so I just read the results the next day and didn't bother getting a week later.

That really did suck, I was looking forward to the PPV and Bell Expressvu and Star Choice didn't ever show the PPV at all. How could they expect people to watch it when the only two Sat company's in Canada didn't even carry the PPV. It's the same with K-1, their GP finals won't be aired until Oct 28th or something.
