The 5th episode of TUF 21 on FS1 from last week drew the third-largest DVR +3 rating of the season with a gain of 172,000 viewers drawing the viewership for last week’s show to 512,000 viewers.

The Live + 3 rating average is at 560,200 viewers with an average gain of 173,500 viewers.

TUF 21 Ratings DVR+3

Episode 1 – 490,000, DVR +3 704,000; Gain +214,000
Episode 2 – 454,000, DVR +3 646,000; Gain +192,000
Episode 3 – 364,000, DVR +3 524,000; Gain +160,000
Episode 4 – 286,000, DVR +3 415,000; Gain +129,000
Episode 5 – 340,000, DVR +3 512,000; Gain +172,000

Payout Perspective:

A little better than the last two weeks but the overall ratings are still quite low.  Next week TUF will go up against the first game of the NHL Stanley Cup Final which could take a lot of viewers away from TUF.

I should point out that according to those at TKO that the ESPN/MVPW boxing deal is a revenue sharing agreement similar to the original AEW/Turner deal in 2019 and not a full paying media rights deal which Top Rank had and wasn't renewed.
