WEC 48 Pay Per View

The votes are in: Most MMA fans say they are not willing to pay $44.99 to watch WEC 48. Despite putting their biggest names on a card, three top-10 featherweight fighters and two big title fights that both have "Fight of the Year" potential, the community is apparently not willing to pay. I personally will buy this card because I simply cannot pass up seeing this caliber of MMA. However, one would think the WEC, for its pay-per-view debut, would have scheduled it on a slower month in today's tighter economy. Also, for a product people are used to getting free, they could have started at a lower price. Aside from that, a star-studded card like this is perfect to be the WEC's first pay-per-view event, and we would be naïve fans to think that the WEC could remain active and increase fighter pay based solely on free shows.
