Bellator Kickboxing last Friday drew an average rating of 346,000 on Spike TV per Nielsen. The debut of the promotion’s kickboxing followed Bellator 153.
Notably, per Nielsen the first hour of Bellator Kickboxing averaged 464,000 viewers and peaked with 730,000.
Payout Perspective:
The debut of Bellator’s foray into kickboxing promotion did well considering it was late at night following a two hour plus Bellator card. The broadcast did slightly lower than the average for Glory on Spike TV (in 13 events on the network, it averaged 426,000 viewers). We shall see if Bellator can fare better than Glory did on Spike.

Not bad, will be interesting to see what happens long term. The more combat sports the better, Ive always been partial to sports you “fight” rather than “play”
