From the Observer:
It looks to have done about 36,100 buys, consisting of 27,000 digital and 9,100 from television. The first show did about 15,500 and 3,700 respectively, so numbers were nearly double streaming and cable buys were up 132 percent (well over double) and satellite buys were up 178 percent (nearly triple). It was more heavily promoted on AEW television, and was also on a Saturday night with no major wrestling competition. An interesting note is that this drew far more among the AEW PPV buyers. Of the fans who purchased the April show, 38.5 percent (about 7,400) purchased the prior AEW PPV, Revolution. Keep in mind Revolution did just over 170,000 buys in total. For this show, 67.4 percent of the buyers (estimated at 24,300) had purchased Forbidden Door and 68.2 percent (24,600) had purchased Double or Nothing.

All in all, a win for ROH

36,100 buys is better than zero buys.

I'd imagine he's got to be happy with those numbers. Might also be good as a demonstration of interest while he continues shopping ROH around for TV.

I appreciate the context of the last ROH PPV's numbers, because I saw that 36,100 figure and couldn't tell if it was good or bad after only having a baseline for AEW shows.

It's great for what it is, but AEW's PPV numbers are very good. Like in context, every single AEW PPV has sold considerably better than TNA's top selling PPVs did. This is I think like roughly half of what TNA's top couple of PPVs did, but better than most of them.

Given that this is basically AEW's developmental league, and thus producing the shows is likely less costly than normal that's not bad at all.
At 39.99 a pop those numbers mean $1,443,639 of revenue just on PPV sales alone. Not bad at all.

Add ticket sales and they probably did close to 2 million in revenue

They only get about 40% of the traditional buys if lucky. 40% to ROH, 40% to cable/sat, 20% to the ppv hosting company. That was the deal WWE had and I can't see AEW or the new ROH getting a better deal. I don't know how Fite or BR works out but that set up with traditional ppv is why WWE went inhouse with the network.

What's the most buys for an ROH PPV? Technically All In, which was over 41k. But lets be real, that was AEW's first show
