Following WEC 48 success, Reed Harris says WEC could head to PPV three times a year

Although World Extreme Cagefighting General Manager Reed Harris is waiting for the final numbers to come (and plans to keep those numbers private), the WEC’s pay-per-view debut by all accounts exceeded expectations.

“I don’t have the official numbers … and it could take a couple months,” 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.
