UFC on Fox 29 draws over 2M viewers; Prelims on Fox 970K

April 17, 2018 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

UFC on Fox 29 drew 2,020,000 viewers including the overrun for the main event featuring Dustin Poirier-Justin Gaethje.  The UFC on Fox 29 Prelims which aired on Fox prior to the main card drew 970,000 viewers.

UFC on Fox 29 drew 790,000 viewers in the A18-49 demo and an overall household rating of 1.25.  The Prelims garnered 356,000 viewers in the A18-49 demo and an overall household rating of 0.65.

The Prelims are a decrease from February’s UFC on Fox 28 which drew 1,214,000 viewers on the network.  Last July, the Prelims on Fox drew 1.137 million viewers.

Payout Perspective: 

The telecast improved from its initial fast overnight rating of 1.78 million viewers.  It did draw slightly above 2 million viewers but reflects the continued decrease in ratings for the network national broadcasts.

I should point out that according to those at TKO that the ESPN/MVPW boxing deal is a revenue sharing agreement similar to the original AEW/Turner deal in 2019 and not a full paying media rights deal which Top Rank had and wasn't renewed.
