Reed Harris: WEC to PPV only for “major shows,” buyers will be satisfied

World Extreme Cagefighting General Manager Reed Harris has a message for anyone objecting to WEC 48’s $44.99 price tag: “You’ll be satisfied.”

Additionally, in an exclusive interview with MMAjunkie.com, the WEC executive today said that the move to PPV came about only because the star-studded April 24 fight card warranted it and, that outside of a “major event or two per year,” the company’s focus will remain on its free Versus shows.

Harris also explained why the WEC chose a $44.99 price point, what it means for WEC fighters, and what kind of future expansion the additional revenue could create.
