Payout Perspective:
Not big numbers here as the card did not have any big names. However, to get the peak over 1 million viewers is still a testament to the fact that Bellator continues to garner a core audience.
good numbers, over 1m on spike is doing very well and im sure they are happy with it
I agree Wil. For just another average Friday night line-up to be breaking 1M is pretty solid. And sustainable (I’m guessing).
Yup and they did that with minimal overhead unlike PBC.
And of course the mental patient cannot just speak on bellator without bringing up his obsessive hatred for boxing. Kid, get it together.
