- WWE released the number of preliminary PPV buys for WrestleMania 29. The preliminary number is 1,048,000 million buys according to WWE's latest monthly business figures released this week.
A breakdown of domestic and international PPV numbers was not included in the report. However, the event is likely to turn out to be the highest-grossing PPV event in WWE history because of the PPV price increase, more ways to watch the event, and a great proportion of higher-priced HD purchases over standard definition.
The final PPV buy total is said to be released in the Second Quarter 2013 earnings around August. Once all buys are accounted for, the final number will likely be rounded out to about 1.1 million buys.
Below is a comparison of WrestleMania PPV buys from the last five years:
2009 - 960,000 buys
2010 - 885,000 buys
2011 - 1,059,000 buys
2012 - 1,217,000 buys
2013 - 1,048,000 buys (prelim. figure)

After looking at these numbers i was confused as to why WM27 was the first event to break a mil over the last 5 years considering it was headlined by Cena vs Miz Then i remembered that was the WM Rock came back. Then each event after that broke 1 million buys as well Headlined by Rock vs Cena. 08 broke a mil as well with Money May on the card. Why yall think WM25/26 didnt do a mil? Let us discuss...................
