Bellator Kickboxing draws 287,000 viewers on Spike TV

September 26, 2016 by Jason Cruz 1 Comment

Bellator Kickboxing drew 287,000 viewers on Spike TV Friday night according to Sports TV Ratings.

Friday’s event was live from Budapest, Hungary.  In addition, the event which aired from 9:00pm-10:51pm ET drew 105,000 in the adult 18-49 demo.

Previously, Bellator Kickboxing drew 346,000 viewers in its debut this past April.  In June it improved to 418,000 viewers .

Payout Perspective:

Bellator went up against College Football on FS1 (USC/Utah) which drew 1.042M viewers.  The event was the lowest-rated of the 3 thus far as Bellator is attempting to re-introduce kickboxing to Spike.  Thus far, it does not seem to be working.

    It’s boring and spike refused too see it. They better off using that money and time to produce build up shows for Bellator events.

I should point out that according to those at TKO that the ESPN/MVPW boxing deal is a revenue sharing agreement similar to the original AEW/Turner deal in 2019 and not a full paying media rights deal which Top Rank had and wasn't renewed.
