Part of the reason that the event didn’t generate more revenue is because it wasn’t available on pay-per-view.Įllin explained, “Austin was so arrogant, and so egotistical about this, that he refused to put it on cable and satellite.

And as we got into the last couple of days, he was getting it every 15 minutes.” And, as it got closer to the fight, he was getting it every hour. The problem McBroom faces is that the event didn’t generate enough revenue to pay all of the fighters and investors. McBroom estimated that the event would generate $200 million to $500 million but the event only sold 136,000 subscriptions for packages starting at $49.99 and going up to $89.99.īut fighters were unaware that the sales were going to be less than expected.Įllin said, “He was telling Bryce and Tayler that he didn’t know any of the numbers. Then, guaranteed the money was wired and never paid the full amount.” He told us the monies were wired and then changed the number.

The only two investors in the event were James Harden and LiveXLive.Įllin continued, “The reason that we put up money is Austin was supposed to pay for the entire production.
