“I don’t have the official numbers … and it could take a couple months,” World Extreme Cagefighting General Manager Reed Harris today told MMAjunkie.com “We had a number internally we were aiming for, and we far exceeded that according to the early estimates.”
With the success of those PPV “buys” – which industry insiders have pegged at up to 150,000 to 200,000 – Harris said the WEC could host another PPV show by year’s end. And soon, he said, he’d like to see the organization hosting three major PPV events per year.
Despite the lack of branding on the broadcasts, Harris knows the WEC brand received a big boost from WEC 48’s success. And he said it’s not the UFC or WEC or White or himself who is to thank for that.
“At the end of the day, it’s about the fights and the fighters,” he said. “Our fighters delivered … when it meant the most. We’re all very thankful to them.”
