Payout Perspective:
Not counting Bellator 149, the ratings average on Spike TV is 661,000. Through 7 events in 2015 (not counting the Bellator 138 tentpole event), the average was 668,000. One would think that the organization would have hoped for an incremental increase from year to year but perhaps Bellator is looking more to stability of its live viewership and hoping for big ratings with its quarterly events.
Good numbers. I didn’t watch it myself, wasn’t even aware that it was on but for a Friday night, that isn’t bad at all.
