From what I've read on other sites and speculations, the reasoning is related to how low the majority of the PPVs provide in buys.
They'd make a ton more money having 1-3 million paying $15 for the Network and getting a certain PPV than having 150,000 - 300,000 people paying $35+ for a single ppv.
In theory they could be making Wrestlemania-like money every month with the Network instead of hoping of making a Mania-like amount once every 3-4 months from their PPVs.
