The $50 ppv got killed by the network when it launched. You can still get them for from Directv but...why?

If PPVs go away then the network is dead, no one's gonna pay $10 for back catalog PPVs. It could stay free with ads but they won't put the money into it if it's free.

The advantage to selling to Hulu/Netflix etc is they get potentially more eyes on the product and more money upfront.

It's obviously going to be either Hulu or Netflix.
