LeonThePro says
TUF is getting killed in the live ratings, but still has a DVR following. Would be interesting to know what a comparable DVR growth % is for other reality shows.
Saldathief says
DVR ratings are questionable and not reliable, sponsors know this. First, plenty of people record stuff and never watch it! Seconds most fast forward through advertisements, so the number is non relevant for the most part.
john_frederickson says
Ratings don’t matter for TUF… Fox already paid for this garbage and FS1 needs content..so expect another 100+ episodes of TUF.

Sal slings bullshit as much as a boxing promoter
BrainSmasher says
Sal that doesn’t even make sense. If they didn’t hAve to watch it for it to count then he dvr 24 hour, 3 day, and 7 day ratings would all be the same number if all you had to do is record it. DVR is more reliable as it’s an actual count of people who watched it unlike a formulated guess like Neilson. It might not mean much for advertisers. But it does show a interest in the show.
Saldathief says
More side talking and delusion, example, I dvr’d the prelims, the showed the Cruz fight as a filler on the PPV so I didnt watch the dvr. A lot of times when I dvr something I will see online the results and either be too busy or not interested in watching it. Examples like this are endless. People also will program their dvr and never watch am episode for the entire season. Live or rerun is king, its the only true way to know how many people watch. TV IS ALL ABOUT ADVERTISERS! THEY ARE THE ONES THAT PAY THE BILLS YOU MORON!!! ADVERTISERS LOOKS AT REAL NUMBERS NOT YOUR FANTASY BULLSHIT!!
BrainSmasher says
If people are watching on tv even with value from advertisers they still are potential PPV buyers. Are you to dim founder stand that? Ads are not the only way the UFC makes money. Also who says dvr numbers can’t tell who watches and who don’t. Large assumption assuming they count recordings and not views when they CALL IT VIEWERS NOT RECORDERS!
tops E says
Battle of dvr ratings hahahaha

Sal is the biggest retard known to man. He literally just makes shit up left and right as he goes. He has now added a new category of retard to his long list of ignorant rants when he implied that inflation has gone up 400% in the past 13 years. He is a smelly old weirdo.
Saldathief says
please explain to me, you geniuses, how a network and a program make money on a show, that is significant, without advertisers???? Please tell us!!! both your morons have no fucking clue is so laughable you both are morons who couldn’t run a lemonade stand bahaha this is comical you both are retards and it shows
Saldathief says
D you crack me up whats the matter is the ufc canceling your free fight pass lmao
Saldathief says
Advertisers can put a billboard up on a bus in a city and get more views then with a ufc event bhahaha pathetic
d says
Sal, maybe you can explain to me how according to you inflation has risen 400% over the past 13 years, because any financial analyst would tell someone making that claim they are a stupid fucking moron and they would probably smack them in the face for being so goddamn dumb. You are beyond a cock sucking moron.
Saldathief says
where did I ever say inflation is at 400% you fuck tard bahahahah ANSWER MY QUESTION YOU BUSINESS TV DEAL EXPERT Bhahahaha
d says
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! YOU ARE SO GOD DAMNED DUMB IT IS UNREAL!! YOU SHOULD HAVE CUT IN RUN YOU STUPID FUCK!!
SALDAMORON ON UFC 178:
“Second lowest gate for money ,but if you add inflation it was the lowest take at the gate at MGM ever for ufc.”
Again, UFC 34: UFC 34 MGM Nov. 2nd 2001…….$502k gate
So by your stupid fucking analysis, inflation has risen over 400 percent in the last 13 years.
THERE’S THE ANSWER YOU INCREDIBLY STUPID FUCKING IDIOT, WHO GET’S SMACKED AROUND LEFT AND RIGHT HERE, YET IS SHAMELESS AND CONTINUES WITH HIS GAY ARUM PROPAGANDA!!! YOU ARE THE DUMBEST FUCKING MORON I’VE EVER ENCOUNTERED ON HERE AND THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES!!!
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO EAT CROW AGAIN FOR LIKE THE 20TH TIME IN THE PAST 24 HOURS YOU DUMB QUEER???
Saldathief says
You make no sense and still haven’t answered my simple question you are embarrassing and delusional and need to chill out on the generic Indian drugs you take bahaha UFC 178 is the lowest gate in history from the information on this site… ALL YOU CRYING DOESNT CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE UFC IS IN A HOLE AND CANT GET OUT AND HAS NO SENSE OF REALITY. WHY ARE THEIR NUMBER CONTINUING TO GO WAYYYYYYYYY WAYYYYYYY DOWN?? Bahahahahahahaha suck on that.
d says
HAHAHAHAHA!!! I’m dealing with one of Jerry’s kids. This is the biggest retard in the history of anything. I did answer your question, clear as day. You are just too fucking dumb to realize what you said. I gave quotes that you made. How can someone be this retarded? How do you survive being this stupid?
“UFC 178 is the lowest gate in history from the information on this site”
HAHAHA!!! So this site is the only source of information in the history of the ufc and whatever happened prior to them posting doesn’t exist in the homosexual underworld that Saldaqueer calls day to day life. How shameless are you? You should have just admitted you were proven completely wrong because you are an idiot and you should have run away from this one. It was check mate a long time ago. This is a blood bath.
