Payout Perspective:
Pretty much the standard viewership for these shows. It did slightly better than last December’s show on Fox and with the viewership adjustment that we will see in the next day or so, it should be close to 2.3 million. MMA Payout will keep you posted.
Two of the 3 biggest cards were headlined by Benson Henderson… Dude is currently a free agent so we’ll see how this goes
Ufc is dead.
What did you expect? The hype wears out after a while.
Take away MacGregor and you’re left with just about 100k fans.
Hopefully Jones will boost these ratings. Hopefully..
I didn’t realize UFC was a living, breathing organism. That’s interesting.
Corporations are people, too
Solid numbers despite what the haters say. Fox should be happy with this.
Joe……..only when it comes to lobbying.
