Just keeps getting better for this card.
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail." - Jack Burton
KOREAN ZOMBIE!!!
Honestly, I’m happy it did well though. It was a great card.

Korean Zombie vs Garcia
I missed them Live but for those who did watch it, They got a helluva treat out of Garcia vs White Zombie. What a great fight that was on Free TV.

Glad you enjoyed the show man, I talked to a bunch of people about it but they passed it up. I think you could sit people down and 9/10 of them would be a fan after the Garcia/Zombie fight, I’m really glad everyone who took a chance for the WEC PPV got the show they did.

i bought it too
but through the cable company, so it was no hi-def :o(. On a brighter note, the copy i downloaded the next day was a better copy than what i watched the night of!!
i really gotta read up on those illegal free streams, so i can figure how to shut them down!! cough cough help cough cough
i usually stream about 50% of the time (No way im buying 20+mma ppvs!! ) , but i will buy any WEC ppv they throw out there. This was the greatest entertainment i have ever recieved for 45 dollars :D.
Does anyone actually purchase PPVs and sit at home watching them alone?
20 x $50 = $1000 / 5 friends = $200
much more reflective of reality
A bunch of people buy them all and invite friends over, but don’t take money from them. So yes, $1000 bucks is about right.

Like Dana said, it will be interesting to see the quarter hour breakdowns.
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

The quarterly ratings were as follows: .62, .62, .82, and 1.01.
I'm seriously hoping the success of this card...
convinces Dana and the UFC brass of the value of the FW and BW fighters under the UFC brand and not to continue putting WEC cards on PPV.
They can call it the WEC or the UFC it really doesn't matter.......
Just continue to put on the best fight’s possible in a nice neat package and pay the fighters what they deserve.

![Reed Harris says the WEC could have three PPV events a year:
"I don't have the official numbers [for WEC 48] ... and it could take a couple months. [But] we had a number internally we were [aiming] for, and we far exceeded that according to the early estimates. I don't think that [three PPV shows a year] would be would something we couldn't attain."
