They’re gonna charge $5 more than a UFC PPV? No thanks, I’ll pass.

This is retarted business practice! How are they thinking they will have a full card worth $50 freakin dollars? They should have put their toes in the water to check the temperature, because they might get burned here!

For $20 or $25 I probably woulda watched, guess ill be here for the play by play!

but regardless, they are still out of their damn minds with that decision. unless the card is absolutely stacked, with several title defenses, i can’t see that many people paying that much.

We have Mayweather vs Mosely on the 1st, UFC 113 on the 8th, and UFC 114 on the 29th. No matter who else they put on this card it will come in fourth on the list of must buys for the month. How many fight fans will still have money to purchase this card if they’re already spending $150 on the other 3 events? And even worse they’ll probably end up going up against a Strikeforce card, which is basically free.
My guess is that it will bomb, which is unfortunate since I am a big fan of a lot of the WEC fighters.

However, a fail here might just get the FWs and BWs in the UFC finally

Well, looks like I won’t be watching this card on a t.v….

i would never pay $45 for a WEC ppv EVERRRRRRR! LOL i would pay maybe $25 but even that is pushing it. y is zuffa so greedy?

I’ve refrained from buying the last several lackluster UFC PPVs but I expect the full card for WEC48 to be very entertaining.

is if they have 11 or 12 fights and they show every single one… wait i’d still be iffy

I’ve paid 29.99 for Yamma Pit Fighting and Ultimate Chaos so I don’t mind shelling out 44.95 for Faber/Aldo.

The WEC is not nearly popular enough to make this a pay-per-view. But I guess we as consumers have to pay for everything IF we want to watch it.

I won’t watch it….legally.

I wonder how many people would be excited to be spending $45 on a ppv with Aldo/Faber as the main event if Thiago Silva/Rashad Evans and Yvel/JDS was on the undercard? Or Torres/Bowles with Coleman/Couture as the co-main event? Too bad we couldn’t somehow merge these cards together.

Although this makes even more of a case for merging the WEC into the UFC.

If they want to give Faber, Brown, Torres, Aldo, Bowles and the WEC stars the money they deserve (through shared PPV revenues) then they need to fold BW and FW into the UFC and make the WEC the “minor leages” that it’s destined to be.

My cable bill is out of control already with Showtime, DVR, HD service, 1 sometimes 2 PPVs a billing cycle and internet service. I’m not paying a 300 dollar a month cable bill just because the Zuffa wants to control MMA programing on the Versus network, which is the only reason the WEC exists.

Now that the UFC is on Versus, why bother with the WEC FW and BW divisions, time for a merger.
