Payout Perspective:
A promising start to the year for WSOF. 213,000 viewers does not seem much but take a look at the WSOF track record and it is a good showing for a card with a lot of talent many have not heard of unless you follow WSOF. The 2015 NBCSN average for WSOF programming was 189,000 viewers.
PBC numbers. Haha.
