Better than some of these tentpoles. Idk what is up with the ratings. Rampage fights doing horrible, while smaller fighters doing better.
Glad to see some of bellators real talent draw decent ratings tho.
I think the message for Bellator here should be stop signing all these guys who are costing you a fortune and not bringing much to the table. Focus on signing unknown talent and building stars.
the thing is easy...they want to sell Bellator so the idea is keeping a float the boat by now, cutting cost (all people fired) , setting mismatches for drawing fighters (Michael Page matchmaking) and hiring future prospects (those NCAA wrestlers) for selling as a brand with huge future...so, for what the promotion??...the future owner will do itU have a point. Although we don't know what is truly going on behind closed doors. For all we know, the gates from the tentpoles could be making up aloT for some of these lack luster ratings.
I just really hope bellator ups the advertising once their wrestlers start debuting.. It kind of makes sense that they aren't promoting heavily considering they are still going through roster purges. A lot of the cuts don't make sense, but we are on the outside looking in.

of course, Spike is in a lot of less homes now (at least in basic package)Basically what Bellator averages. At this point dont really know what they can do to bring the ratings up consistently. UFC signings they've made havent done it and other than the few Kimbo shows they've seen no ratings growth.
Actually gone down since that first Spike season.
the signals...and of course, Viacom has troubles and probably will restructure.Why do you think they want to sell it?
Horrible production values need to go.Basically what Bellator averages. At this point dont really know what they can do to bring the ratings up consistently. UFC signings they've made havent done it and other than the few Kimbo shows they've seen no ratings growth.

I think they should build their stars and hype them a little more. Enough with the UFC rejects.Basically what Bellator averages.
