let's not get too excited and say that the WEC is flatlining, it was just a weaker card than the last one and their brand hasn't been built yet. |
A weak card true, I see that, but the UFC can run a weak card and people still buy it. The difference is the marketing you are correct sir!! The UFC does a hell of a job of hyping thier PPVs. Hell is the UFC card is not that strong they make it (ie pumping up a figther that may not be as good advertised)
Zuffa should use the UFC marketing for WEC if they want it ot work.
Separate note: Does the WEC have a separate marketing manger from the UFC?
