Quote from Fightful report excerpt

"WWE had originally decided on the blackout in order to help boost ticket sales for events, which used to be a far more common practice in sports."

Fightful later went on to say:

"One that spoke to us on the condition of anonymity said that when the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Board of Directors committed to a site fee for WrestleMania, it was to generate economic impact for the entire city, as opposed to just WWE and Allegiant Stadium."
