According to Forbes, high end estimates for Double or Nothing's PPV buys is around 200,000 based on Google trends. Doesn't mean the real numbers will be as high or close to it but Forbes did state it does show that there was WWE-like level of interest for this show.

To compare, the event drew similar interest to WWE's Money in the Bank pay-per-view on May 19, which also amassed over 200,000 searches on Google trends.
