Of course there's mostly only "sources" that float numbers around that aren't confirmed or denied officially but ... 2010 buyrates were generally believed to average about 10k for regular PPV's, as high as 30k for Bound for Glory.

By 2011, BFG was being cited as 20k-25k, so a drop to 7k is pretty much in line with that I guess.

By comparison, here's the latest from the 2011 WWE earnings report
WWE Hell in a Cell – 182,000 (compared to 210,000 in 2010)
WWE Vengeance – 121,000 (compared to 137,000 as Bragging Rights in 2010)
Survivor Series 2011 – 281,000 (compared to 244,000 in 2010)
WWE TLC – 179,000 (compared to 195,000 in 2010)
