In the feature bout of the evening from the Mohegan Sun Sergio Pettis defeated Ricky Bandejas in a bantamweight matchup.  The 135-minute event drew a 0.09 household rating.  It was also shown on digital platform DAZN.

Payout Perspective:

It was the first night of MLB and there was a certain number of people watching on DAZN, but the ratings are low.  Returning to action, Bellator has to hope it can garner more viewers for the product.

I should point out that according to those at TKO that the ESPN/MVPW boxing deal is a revenue sharing agreement similar to the original AEW/Turner deal in 2019 and not a full paying media rights deal which Top Rank had and wasn't renewed.
