Sundance said they did very well, "crushed it", selling spring season passes which lead to more partner money. Its not that they made so much off the previous events they are doing these Arenas for free with that extra money. Its that they continue to show strong numbers and sales to their partners, opening up more sponsorships, which is why these Arenas will be free, because a sponsor has come up with the money. this is like how after the first PPV went so well they got an addition $11 million in VC. | ||

The it was so succesful and we made so much money that we decided not to do it again story is ridiculious, just be honest or say nothing, but trying to spin some bs like your doing something awesome for everybody and giving a gift to the community makes you look like a serious douche bag. | ||

I may be just a small girl and know little of such things, but wouldn't they keep the PPV and keep the new sponsor/partner money, if the numbers were so good and promising? Secondly, even if the PPV was a failure, this is exactly the kind of story one would make up to make it look like they're doing something awesome rather than admitting failure. From what I gathered from 2GD/JP convo in Real Talk, MLG Arenas (specifically) were actually losing viewers consistently since the first one. | ||

Because whoever the company is that will be sponsoring the Arenas wouldn't sponsor it if it were PPV. Pretty simple. The sponsorship is more valuable in the freemium model. | ||
