Bellator 159 drew 709,000 in adjusted DVR+3 ratings and peaked with 1,015,000 viewers last Firday night.
The event improved upon the 668,000 viewers in overnight ratings. It ws the number 1 ranked sports programming on cable on Friday.
Despite representing just a 6% increase from the overnight ratings, it was good enough to be the top sports show on cable this past Friday.
Shame you don’t do this for your articles that you post covering HBO, Showtime, PBC boxing shows. You tend to give prem overnight but not adjusted for DVR and such….which tells the complete picture.
He does the same for PBC when they are on network TV and the same with the UFC.
Fox Sports 1 cards don’t really get it, only TUF which is a TV show which isn’t live anymore.
Spike are giving out these numbers because I guess they want to seem bigger.
If spike happy, Bellator is happy. Being the top rated sports show of the night is good for a number 2 company. Just positive news overall.
