What # would be good for a WEC PPV?

50k? 100k? 250k? More?

Affliction Banned did anywhere from 50K to 85K to over 100K depending on who you talk to.

Affliction DoR did anywhere from 150K to 200K

I believe the WEC has a stronger brand than Affiction, but then does a Faber-Aldo match up really have the same drawing power a Fedor?

I'm not really sure what the goal should be or what to even expect or how mucht o expect it to cost. Who on here would buy a WEC PPV $45? or $25?

50-80K would probably be good. That along with the gate and the not so big overall purse would make them money. I don't really know though...both of the Affliction PPV's were considered flops.

I think that has to do more with Affliction's payroll and star power. They paid more the the UFC and got half the numbers or some of the UFC worse cards.

They were flops counting overhead, otherwise they were the best non zuffa MMA ppvs ever.

The WEC has no business doing PPVs. Use those stars on UFC ppvs. Call a WEC event a UFC ppv. Anything but at WEC PPV.

20K

I think if they had a pretty stacked card and only charged $25, they could approach a number of 75 to 100k. If they tried to charge what the UFC charges, they'd be lucky to see 50k, unless they went balls out and tossed the BW and FW titles on the line together...

For 20 bucks or some shit I might order but honestly I dont see them doing no better than 40 thousand or so.

we also need to ask what Vs' pays the WEC to televise a card.

Then we can start to decide at what price and how many buys makes it worth it to go ppv.

40 thousand LOL????? Im such a jackass!!!!

Well, I said if they only charged $25 the could hit 100K. But to be fair I also said if they went balls out and had two titles on the line they could do better. I still didn't think they would get to 150K asking $45 for it... I was thinking closer to 100-125K.

Yo Zuffa can totally fabricate these numbers you know.

Zuffa never releases numbers anyway, but the best guesstimates I have heard are between 150-200K, which is still around or better than Affliction numbers.
