Bellator 129 Live + 3: 683,000 viewers

October 22, 2014 by Jason Cruz 6 Comments

MMA Payout has learned from a Nielsen source the Live +3 rating for Bellator 129 saw an increase to 683,000 viewers.  The Live +3 peak jumped to 948,000 from 780,000.

Bellator 129 saw the biggest rise in Live + 3 ratings of season 11.

Bellator 129 live +3

Payout Perspective:

Bellator 129 was not a great card and it was reflected in the ratings.  The increase in viewership in the DVR ratings reflects the possibility that many DVR the fights so that they can determine whether or not to watch the entire show.  Or, like most of us strapped for time, hear about the fights and decide which ones to watch later on.

    Truth – you’re a complete jackass. Reread the article you moron. Jason isn’t making excuses for the show or saying that it did well because the Live +3 is so high. He’s not saying that Bellator is “THRIVING”. He’s just reporting the ratings and then giving a perspective on why the ratings worked out that way.

    I recommend you take a deep breath, count to 10, and pull your head out of your ass. Idiot.

    TS – I’m not referring to what Jason wrote in some different article. I’m referring to this one. So once again, you’re wrong.

    Jason clearly says – “Bellator 129 was not a great card and it was reflected in the ratings.” Not your inane, made up quotes.

    Nice try sweetheart. Did you count to 10 yet? Because it sounds like your head is still up your ass.

    By the way – here’s my answer to your comments on the UFC replay ratings. I’m willing to admit my mistake if you can show me the evidence but “I have information available to me” doesn’t cut it as proof.

    hes a disingenuous bastard ( or maybe he just doesnt understand, which from ALL indications is the most likely answer) LMFAOOOO
