WWE released numbers for the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. These are worldwide numbers. The Royal Rumble did 445,000 buys worldwide. The 2013 Royal Rumble did 579,000 buys so it was a sharp drop from last year for sure.
Elimination Chamber did 203,000 buys worldwide. The 2013 Elimination Chamber did 241,000 buys so Dish Network may have played a part in hurting their number this year. Also, some fans may have skipped the show since the WWE Network launched the following day and some fans (based on emails we got) were still thinking that they could just watch it right away on the network.
These are not the final numbers but they should be in this ballpark when the final  numbers come in.
