I am going have to agree with you on this.
Their model is not sustainable to their veiwerbase. They really should have thought about that more.
The average viewer (or at least the "NEW" audience they are trying to pull outside of the smart marks) is NOT going to spend 9.99 plus $50 every time they have a pay per view.
So the viewer pays $120 year for Bleacher Reports streaming platform (seriously I didn't even know existed until AEW paired with them.) then on top of that pays 50 per event. So if AEW has 6 of these in a year that's 120 + 300. $420 to watch AEW in a year.
That's an absolutely ridiculous pricing model to the middle income families which I assume make up at least 40% of their demo.
That model will crash and burn. It's not realistic in this current 2019 age of streaming.
