Gate for this event was solid for Bellator
1.2m. Solid numbers all things considered.
Doesnt look like real gate number has been released, thats bullshit wiki numbers.
907kAnyone know what the UFC Halifax card did on Sunday in terms of TV views?
I was always wary of wiki numbers, but now disregard them all together after Goodman said they are bullshit
This number is coming from Luke Thomas(unless he took wiki numbers)
I think their last 2 tape delayed shows did better than 700k. At least the Israel or Italy card did, IIRC.If they make more than 700k this Friday..... It will be a really good thing for Bellator....
Since he made weight I assume they had to pay him his show money at leastFor what the show ended up being thats a good number, not sure how good it is with money they spent on production and promoting the show.
Plus wonder what Fedors pay situation is, sure he's gonna want something even though he didnt fight and if you are Bellator it wouldnt be smart to get into a beef over this when he hasnt fought yet.
Wonder how much better they would have done if he fought, fight did fall off day of so its not like many people knew it so not sure the card would have averaged all that much more if he did fight.
Maybe fighting someone else or in a few months in spring on a weekend with no competition they will do better than they would have this weekend.
Chael Sonnen said California AC requires any fighter that weighs in gets paid.Plus wonder what Fedors pay situation is, sure he's gonna want something even though he didnt fight and if you are Bellator it wouldnt be smart to get into a beef over this when he hasnt fought yet.
But that last Geary title fight thoughI think their last 2 tape delayed shows did better than 700k. At least the Israel or Italy card did, IIRC.
