Payout Perspective:
The viewership continued on into the overrun and peaked during the main event which is good news for the UFC as the audience grew toward the main event which we assume is anticipated and planned by the telecast. The ratings are on par with this past year’s viewership. In comparison with past years, one can see that the viewership has been down for the network broadcasts this year.
