UFC 153 Prelims: 1 million viewers

October 19, 2012 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

MMA Junkie reports that the UFC 153 prelims airing on FX earned a 1 million viewer average.  The average bests the last two FX prelim shows which were below the 1 million benchmark.

Although the UFC 153 prelims scored a 1 million viewer average it still does not match the 1.24 million viewer average for the prelims.

Payout Perspective:

A nice bump back to the 1 million viewer average despite being below the overall prelim average.   There were not a lot of known fighters on the prelims so one might argue that this is a good reflection of viewers tuning in for the UFC and not the fighters.  It will be interesting to see if this equates to people purchasing the PPV.

The Kyle Shanahan car accident happened on July 14. It was a matter of public record. The 49ers wanted to keep it quiet until training camp opened on July 25. And, instead of reporting publicly-available facts, the reporters who knew about it complied. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/49ers-wanted-to-keep-shanahan-accident-quiet-and-some-in-the-media-complied

Imagine someone from the Bay Area getting into a car accident with the head coach of the 49ers and not saying anything about it for 11 days. People put their breakfast on Instagram now.

What are some explanations for why this person in the other car hasn’t spoke up?

Thad Jean! Good fight #PFL

#PFL has got to get rid of the ref cam, its not as novel as it was in Pride and we can get a better view if we are not right on the fighters
