*UFC FN 62 Prelims on FS2 |
Payout Perspective:
The ratings are the lowest for Fight Nights in 2015 although it may have been expected considering the card went opposite the NCAA Tournament on TNT and TBS. Moreover, the move of the Prelims to FS2 due to NASCAR was the key culprit in the lower ratings for the undercard. Of course, the lack of known fighters on the Prelims coupled with basketball was the other factor in the lower ratings.

UFC Fight NIght 59 wasnt on Fox and it did 2.7 mill not 1.7 million, it was the McGregor/Siver card.
JF says

saldathief says
Its actually not that bad if you consider all aspects, also its so close to 2 big ppv and perim shows, so I really dont think they were expecting huge numbers. I cant even find FS2 on my tv lol

Diego says
There were prelims? Oops. It’s tough to track everything that’s going on.
saldathief says
D is too busy googling nonsense and re reading all my old posts to find some misspelled words to try to make a meaningless point about something that doesn’t even make sense. OK so these numbers in reality are pure poop! and it was for free hahahahah 617k plus a 7 k door I will give them 625 total. here we are back to less then a million again.
FightBusiness says
UFC Fight night numbers are average.
saldathief says

Funny how I’m always right about stuff before you can google it hahahahah D needs google, just challenge D to anything you can’t google and he is a useless retard moron!!

Chris says
Numbers are exactly what was expected for a Brazil card going against march madness, a card that lost its main event and its co main event twice and was headlined by a fight that was originally 4th fight down on the card.
d says
Haha. I don’t even make a post and Sal goes on his incoherent retarded tirades. This fag is nuts and Arum’s got him work homo overdrive. Nothing he says is accurate, he lies, cherry picks stats and sometimes just straight up believes his delusions. He’s 0 for 4 in predictions this year for ufc ppvs and then when proven wrong he claims the numbers are false. He is a boxing paid troll who smells like shit and hasn’t bathed in years.
saldathief says
D can’t make a post about anything on a show that did poop numbers hahah
So here we go 4 months of ufc bullshit till 189, no one will care by the time it takes place! What a waste of time any money! Funny how all my numbers were correct last year and this year boxing will once again double, if not more then UFC ppv numbers. And I made 1 prediction this year and it was close enough. Here is a prediction, D gets fired by zuffa media and goes back to 7 eleven hahahah oh wait he has a great sports background to fall back on and he can coach athletes on how to cycle on and off steroids hahahahaha
d says
Sal is 50 and he acts like a 12 year old autistic boy. Hahaha
saldathief says
bahahahahaha
