Well for full mma fans and not just the casual viewer then this card does have some potential but in terms of big names then yes it probably should be free.

Its one of those cards that looks pretty meh overall on paper, but could turn out to be very good. These kind of cards often have a way of surprising, I find.
I really don't know who to take between Franklin and Silva. Wanderlei is still very capable, but he's also prone to getting dropped now, it seems. Franklin is certainly capable of catching him. Wanderlei could also overwhelmed Franklin in much the same manner as Anderson Silva managed to.

Well that is exactly what I mean in terms of potential, in that way this card could be very good. It just lacks big names and I can't see people wanting to pay for this.
Spike TV should be showing this over there, I mean it really doesn't matter to me because I get it cable TV anyway but it would just be yet another chance to gain new MMA viewers/fans.

I think if it was shown in America, it would probably be free, but since it's their first time in Germany, they probably had something on the contract saying it had to be a PPV.
I'm not sure how they will work out the time zones...will the show it on delay?
