The Ultimate Fighter 24 episode 9 drew 252,000 viewers on FS1 Wednesday night. It’s the lowest-rated episode of the season per Sports TV Ratings.
In addition, the adult 18-49 demo was up slightly. The ratings are substantially down from TUF 22’s Episode 9 which garnered 495,000 viewers and TUF 23 which drew 409,000 viewers.
Payout Perspective:
It’s the second straight week with a season low in ratings. On the bright side, the Adult 18-49 demo was up. This season is losing a lot of interest as highlighted by the ratings.
Just give it the axe already
Wow horrible
And replace it with what? FS1 is a Sports Network, this isn’t FX or Spike, look at the numbers Golden Boy and PBC on Tuesdays, they do even lower numbers than TUF and probably cost double to produce as they are live. FS1 doesn’t have the right deals Monday-Wednesday except some College Basketball.
lol…..straight to boxing, when the post had nothing to do with boxing….
I said and replace it with what? Are they going to get another league to change their schedule as they need Wednesday night sports, tell me please what could they put in there that A they have the rights too or B the league can change its schedule around to suit TV?
TUF is just a TV Commercial
That is exactly what it is, problem is, its now even being ignored by a 3 quarters of the die hards…..
For the third time. Replace it with what? Besides paying the UFC more money and asking them to do weekly events, you lose money at the gate for a weekday fights although Lorenzo probably lets them run the Palms for free in Vegas you have to pay guys at least $10,000 for undercard fights that most won’t see because they are at work, their really isn’t anything that would beat it in the ratings that they have the rights too.
It’s the exact same with NBCSN, FS1 doesn’t do big ratings outside a few things, they just don’t have the rights like ESPN. Spike & FX are different, Cops does bigger ratings easier but you can’t put that on a Sports Network.
ok leave it on. There, happy?
