Bellator 173 draws 557,000 viewers

February 28, 2017 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Bellator 173 on Friday night on Spike TV drew 557,000 viewers per Sports TV Ratings.  The event also drew 237,000 viewers in the A18-49 demo.

The event featured Liam McGeary and Brett McDermott with McGeary taking the decision in the light heavyweight matchup.  The event took place in Belfast, Northern Island.

The rating is the lowest since Bellator 168.

Payout Perspective:

It wasn’t the best event and did not receive a back-to-back week boost from last week’s Bellator event.  The Bellator viewer average for 2017 sits at 865,000 viewers.
