I read somewhere that WrestleMania 17 did 1.2 million PPV buys. Back then, they only counted domestic buys, so only buys in the US. Can anyone wrap their heads around this? In a country with 300 million, 1.2 million HOMES bought this PPV (so more people were watching it, as a family and/or friends).

Can we find out what the PPV did worldwide? Or were PPVs even available worldwide until 2005? That's what I had read. WrestleMania 28 did 1.25 WORLDWIDE, and they beat the record, but if WM17 did 1.2 just domestically, did they do more worldwide?

I'm kinda confused about this. This event is like the undisputed best WWE PPV, I wanna see what the numbers show.

mania 17 did 1.04m worldwide and 925,000 in north america

in the uk i remember the 2002 rumble being on ppv so shows were available before 2005

AFAIRC WM17 did around 950k domestic and 90k international so it did total 1.04million buys.

However the buyrate(not buys) was down from previous year at 2.19 vs 2.35 for WM2000.

Yeah I see. Look at this graph.

WM17 did 1.04 you're right, but WM16 did a lil over 800,000. WM17 was a huge success either way.

Based upon real buys and not buyrate as is the thread title:cool2
