The post-fight show on FS1, which started earlier than usual due to the short main event, drew 188,000 viewers starting at 12:40pm ET.  It drew 130,000 in the adult 18-49 demo.  Likely due to the early start, it did not do as well as the two previous post-shows this year.

Payout Perspective:

The viewership of the UFC 184 Prelims and the programs related to it reveal a strong showing for the interest in this card and specifically Ronda Rousey.  The weigh-ins viewership of 222,000 pops out as evidence that people were interested in this card.  Will it equate to PPV buys?  We will see.

    IFC is on a roll. Almost every even recently is setting new highs or ranking close to the top. Ratings have been strong and consistent lately. PPVs are doing well and Rousey just got a ton of press and was a story on every ESPN program all day long. That will pay off for her and the UFC.

    The weigh in?? bahahah a bunch of guys wanting to see 2 chicks half naked nothing more. Not a bad showing , but if you consider the hype and promotional costs and effort, its horrible. Yes a free show, boxing does the same or better on HBO Showtime and dont spend a fraction on promotion that the UFC pisses away! HA its all coming out of that so called 100 million from Fox! Fox decides how much to spend! I’m not saying its better all the time, but boxing has serious established fans world wide! that actually are willing to spend money. And then some retard will give some bullshit age demo, sure boxing fans are older, but those are the people that actuality have jobs and don’t still live with their parents. Look at age demo of employment and income in America. And no one has mentioned the low gate for such a high so called attendance!!! I guess people only want to believe what they want and ignore questionable so called facts! LA doesn’t even have an NFL team because no one goes! But they came for Rousey? Rousey has one fight left maybe 2 unless she loses. who wants to see 14 seconds
