Payout Perspective:
The average viewership ratings are a positive considering it was on the same night as NCAA Basketball, competed with Metamorsis 3, HBO Boxing and NBC Sports Network also streamed the event. The streaming may have taken away some viewers from the televised show but that number is likely low.
Diego says
These are Bellator on MTV2 type numbers. In their defense, I don’t think that network as a whole is doing well.
