UFC Fight Night 130 draws 552,000 viewers Sunday on FS1

May 30, 2018 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

The main card for UFC Fight Night 130 Sunday morning/afternoon drew 552,000 viewers on FS1 according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  The post-fight show on FS1 outdrew the morning prelims.

The post-fight show drew a 2018-high of 392,000 viewers and 0.14 in the A18-49 demo on FS1 Sunday afternoon.  The post-fight show aired for 24 minutes due to the overrun of the main card.

The main card featured Stephen Thompson taking on Darren Till with Till taking the victory.  The event drew 0.20 in the A18-49 demo.  The prelims, which began at 8:00 am on the west coast drew 308,000 viewers and 0.10 in the A18-49 demo.

Payout Perspective:

Sunday morning’s event did better than last year’s Memorial Day Sunday event in Sweden as that event drew 496,000 viewers.  The post-fight show likely drew more eyes simply because it was on in the afternoon.  Also, The Indianapolis 500 may have taken away some viewers as it drew 4.91 million viewers on Sunday morning on ABC.

People who do martial arts will laugh and tell me it’s fake. But then I ask them why they do martial arts? 😉

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.
