Scary TNA Bound For Glory Attendance Numbers, BFG Pay-Per-View Trends

- TNA's biggest show of the year, Bound for Glory, drew 2,400 fans to the Bren Events Center in Irvine, California, and that figure was significantly papered in the days leading up to the event.

Many in the company questioned going to Los Angeles for the big event, figuring there would be problems with drawing, and after months of hyping the date on iMPACT broadcasts, only 850 tickets, yes 850 tickets, were sold about a week before the show.

- In terms of pay-per-view buys, trending numbers are showing Bound for Glory up 40% from the previous month's No Surrender event (which is believed to have scored bottom level numbers), but with lower preliminary numbers than this year's Lockdown.

what do i have to say here?... tna shamelessly papered everything in l.a. and followed WWE fans looking for table scraps to waste hard earned money on tna... the result is simply what it has always been... pathetic...

tna took the trained monkey circus on the road and failed... 850 confirmed sales isnt even enough to cover traveling costs... and for the record... the skewed bfg numbers show that their "wrestlemania" is their biggest draw of the year... the one before it was so pathetic that even 40% increase looks good... but when you go from 100 buys to 160... that looks like a lot...

for those of you who truly think tna can "compete" with the WWE... these are the hard facts you need to look at... lets not forget huge salary costs, production costs, traveling costs, etc... tna is simply not making money, and cant draw or get enough viewers to be relevant... even hogan didnt spike ratings last week... which quarterly breakdowns prove... even hogan and bischoff cant drive the titanic away from the impending iceberg...
