— It is being reported that this year’s Royal Rumble did 322,000 buys in North America and 176,000 buys overseas for a total of 498,000 buys. This number is up from the 438,000 buys that last year’s did, as well as the 446,000 buys in 2011 and the 462,000 in 2010; in fact, if the number holds it will be the largest since the 2008 Rumble did 533,000 buys.
The majority of the difference between this year and last is in North American viewers; the 2012 Rumble did 272,000 domestic and 166,000 overseas buys.
