While WEC 48’s official attendance and gate revenue figures fell just
short of the promotion’s initial estimates, the event was still an
unqualified success and set the company’s record in terms of revenue.
The California State Athletic Commission today released a final report
on the event and said 12,555 paid attendees packed the ARCO Arena this
past Saturday to watch current featherweight champ Jose Aldo take on
hometown favorite and former champ Urijah Faber.
The event produced a total of $954,635 in gate receipts, an average cost
of $76.04 per ticket issued.
