Did ROH Break Even with Best in the World PPV Buys?
According to The Wrestling Observer, when ROH announced back in May that it would be debuting on PPV with June’s Best in the World event, the break even target number of PPV buys was set at 10,000.
Sinclair Broadcasting, ROH’s parent company, signed a deal earlier this year which would see ROH produce two PPV’s this year – Best in the World and Final Battle, which takes place in December. ROH & Sinclair viewed the leap to PPV as “exploratory,” with the possibility of doing more PPV events based on the success of Best in the World and Final Battle.
Early Best in the World estimates are in, and have the show taking in around 10,000 buys, which is the break even point for ROH, and is considered a success. ROH had only a couple weeks to promote the show on PPV as the company made the announcement in May, and it’s being said certain advertisers even apologized to ROH for late ads that didn’t begin running until a day before the event.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
