UFC PPV Prelims draws 777,000 viewers

December 13, 2016 by Jason Cruz 1 Comment

The UFC 206 Prelims drew 771,000 viewers on FS1 Saturday night per Sports TV Ratings.

According to Sports TV Ratings, the event drew 366,000 viewers in the adult 18-49 category.  The main fight of the prelims saw Misha Cirkunov submit Nikita Krylov in a light heavyweight match-up.

Payout Perspective:

With one televised PPV Prelim remaining in 2016, the current average is 1,062,500.  Saturday’s first hour of the prelims went up against ESPN’s showing of the Heisman Trophy Presentation which drew over 2.6 million viewers.  The rating was down from UFC 205 but up from October’s UFC 204.  Notably, HBO Boxing which aired later that night and featured Terrence Crawford drew more than the prelims with 806,000 viewers.

The Kyle Shanahan car accident happened on July 14. It was a matter of public record. The 49ers wanted to keep it quiet until training camp opened on July 25. And, instead of reporting publicly-available facts, the reporters who knew about it complied. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/49ers-wanted-to-keep-shanahan-accident-quiet-and-some-in-the-media-complied

Imagine someone from the Bay Area getting into a car accident with the head coach of the 49ers and not saying anything about it for 11 days. People put their breakfast on Instagram now.

What are some explanations for why this person in the other car hasn’t spoke up?

Thad Jean! Good fight #PFL
