AEW All In 2025 peaked at 9.6k viewers representing a 45% increase from the previous PPV offering, Double or Nothing. This would indicate roughly how many buys were received for the show on the Youtube Platform
So far, the AEW Double or Nothing PPV has peaked with 6,600 views on YouTube during the Anarchy in the Arena match which indicates thats roughly how many buys they received for the show on the platform .

It's funny because I was referring to the Observer. But since you came at me, is sharing "reckless speculation" how this job works?
that you don't have a clue how this job works. exactly what I said. sound it out?

I like @JCup2013. He has good track record with scoops but he is still a random X/board/discord account. I have no problem with him talkin rumor & innuendo. It's just embarrassing that the wrestling media are making a story out of the rumors that JCup put 100 disclaimers on.

This seems to be moving pretty quickly.
Paramount said to today that competition authorities in Australia and New Zealand, as well as Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, Serbia and North Macedonia have approved its pending merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. Foreign direct investment authorities in Germany, Slovenia, Belgium, Czechia, New Zealand, Italy, France and Romania are also on board, the David Ellison-run company said in an SEC filing deadline.com/2026/06/paramou…

🤣🤣🤣🤣 PSG have run through all the premier league teams in the last two seasons. They would demolish the whole league if they were in it.
🐺 "If Wolves were in the other leagues they'd have a chance of winning it!" 🇫🇷 "Would PSG win the Premier League? No chance! Not good enough at the back!" Dean Saunders makes wild claims about #WWFC and PSG during debate about the how strong the Premier League is! 🤯

Instead, Netflix actually remove a few minutes of the broadcast each week (a day or two after the original airing). I've studied and measured this. So, where Dave thinks the two runtimes might be 2h30m and 1h50m, they're actually 1h53m and 1h50m, for example. (2/2)

The formula itself is fine. His mistake is inputting the wrong data points into the formula. There are two runtimes for RAW. Dave's mistake is thinking the original runtime is the full show with ads. It's not. Netflix don't include ads in their hours/minutes viewed. (1/2)

If this happens, it will be in RAF.
🚨 A wrestling match between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier is in the works, per Alfredo Auditore 👀 "We've made a wrestling match: Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier in our PWL league. It's almost confirmed from both sides. Let's do it!" (via alfredo_auditore/IG)

Wouldn't be surprised. The thing is we know from the Netflix data dump last year that the June 30th Raw 2025 did 1.4m viewers (devices really) in about 5 hours. Considering that's the middle of the morning in most of the top foreign markets, that number is majority US.

Did you see where Dave got his calculations from? It was from someone on here claimed to be a mathematician and he used those that since.

If you dont have the exposure on Netflix, how the hell did Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano outdraw every MMA fight in history on Netflix without the UFCs promotional venlhicle behind it? Dave is so far gone its insane.
BREAKING NEWS! Dave’s an idot!

Look at how real PPV buyrates fluctuate from event to event like they have done for every pro wrestling/MMA/Boxing promotion. Not like the fake PPV buyrates Meltzer reports for AEW which are magically always in a tight range.
RIZIN have released their full PPV buy and attendance figures for every event in 2024. Their biggest event was Super RIZIN 3, which generated over 400,000 buys. Half of their events surpassed the 100,000 buy mark. RIZIN returns this weekend with #RIZIN_Landmark14.

Its incredible how quickly RAF has grown. Only 10 months since their debut show and they are already expanding internationally.

I always hear this excuse. Go back to January this year when Smackdown dropped below 1 million. Jan 9th 2026 & Jan 16th 2026 were on tape delay from Germany & UK. The folllowing week on Jan 23rd was live from Canada. Which show did the lowest audience?
Early smackdowns do really bad on tape delay

Dynamite really has closed the gap with Smackdown over the last few years. Last week Dynamite was 65% of Smackdown's audience.

It may be a fine. Given it's Delaware, there may be corporate sanctions as well. If Vince McMahon & Nick Khan have to pay $ personally, it does matter. The long-term picture is this first lawsuit is providing a blueprint for current & future TKO lawsuits re: evidentiary patterns

This aired at midday ET & 9am on the West Coast and it did these kind of numbers. Imagine if this aired in prime time?
Per CBS, the Champions League final between PSG and Arsenal was the "most-watched club soccer match in U.S. English-language TV history" with average of 3.087 million viewers, up 51% over 2025. Peaked in shootout at 3.926 million. Streaming data not disclosed.

99.9% of people will read this and go, "So what, TKO can pay for it." This Delaware WWE suit is about breach of fiduciary, which is an intentional tort. That raises real insurance/liability issues about whether the defendants are *personally* liable. A million different angles.
How much money is potentially at stake in the WWE lawsuit over the TKO merger? The plaintiffs' expert report formulates between $466 million and $957 million. The high-end of their range seems to go further but is redacted in the public filing. postwrestling.com/2026/06/02…
