I assume they figure if they get 2-3 million people paying 7-12 a month, its better than getting 2-300,000 paying $50 a month.
300,000 @ $50 = $15 million before the cable/sat companies take their cut, whatever that is.
So if they only get 2 million paid subs @ $7 a month they pretty much get all of that money AND the cable company doesnt get much of a cut. 2 Million is about 1/3 to 1/2 of how many people watch RAW/SD so that might be a high figure of subscribers to get..
The only PPV they'd lose money on is Wrestlemania since they usually pull in 1 million buys for that.
I could also see them doing the PPV forward, but charging less for them and having extra matches or something..
