Bellator MMA Live Season 11
Bellator 123: 667,000 viewers, peak 979,000; Live +3: 777,000 viewers, peak 1.193 million
Bellator 124: 771,000 viewers
Payout Perspective:
If you want to compare this to last season, the second event in Bellator’s 10th season (Bellator 111) did 653,000 viewers. Bellator 124 ratings improved 16% from the season debut which is a promising sign. It was another spinning back fist which Emmanuel Newton used to put down Joey Beltran in the main event. The overnight viewership average so far for Season 11 is 719,000 viewers.
Much better than it should’ve done given the guys on the card. I think Liam McGeary might have had something to do with it. I had pegged it doing around 550K given the ratings history of the fighters involved. When a show does that much above projections, it’s usually an indication that someone on the show is a bigger ratings draw than their history would indicate.
So bellator is inching up on the ufc on TV how did those fuck tards let that happen?? Bellator has an easy formula, just do the opposite of the bone heads at the ufc
