ONE Championship’s airing of its big card from Tokyo, Japan on Saturday night drew 264,000 viewers according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.
The event featured many of the top stars from the promotion including Demetrious Johnson as he won the ONE Flyweight Grand Prix title over Danny Kingad. The event aired late Saturday night on the east coast (11pm) and after the UFC Fight Night event and Bellator on the Paramount Network.
The event drew a 0.09 share for its 126 minutes on TNT.
Payout Perspective:
The telecast bested Bellator on the Paramount Network earlier in the evening. It also showcased the best of its roster with the exception of Eddie Alvarez. While 264,000 viewers might not be a huge audience, one has to believe that it is a baby step in finding inroads into the U.S.
