Bellator 256 Bader vs Machida Draws 103k viewers

[Bubba32]

Was that their top events or a low quality card with a rematch on it?

with lesser names than machida and bader

 

[Yep]

Bellator will be dead within 5 years. One issue is their name is so awful. It just sounds like an amateur organization.

They should call it PFC

Penultimate Fighting Championship


Hahahahahaha I crack myself up.

Where are the Bellator shills?

UFC and Dana are still kings

150-200k viewers is about what strikeforce used to get. This is a premium cable channel, seems pretty good to me.

strikeforce used to average around 400k viewers.

Flicking through their shows on Tapology, the lower rated shows are around 250k with views going up to 500k plus for bigger cards.

Idk if it averaged that many but it seems your numbers are closer than mine for sure. For some reason I thought I remember them not getting very good ratings, guess I was wrong.

And its even worse now than before because strikeforce used to get like 400k viewers on showtime.

On the regular? Got any good resource for strikeforce ppv numbers? I usually just look at https://www.tapology.com/search/mma-event-figures/ppv-pay-per-view-buys-buyrate for UFC ppv buys and the only Strikeforce event they list is on page2, Shamrock vs Baroni at 35K buys.

They didn't have an event for like 3 months and comes back with two events that sucked

Fortunately for Bellator they have the level of drug testing Rumble wants

Bellator will be dead within 5 years. One issue is their name is so awful. It just sounds like an amateur organization. Also, the fights suck and the production is awful and the commentators are the worst on the planet.

It won't be because executives will keep looking at how much the UFC is making and (maybe rightly) think that turning the shitshow into a gold mine really shouldn't be that hard.

Only one part of the event cracked the top 150 at 9:46pm with 103k viewrs which means the average for the whole event was even lower.

Prayers go out to the friends and family. RIP Bellator.

100k too many.

Who really wants to see bader-Machida headline a card?

The yoel-johnson one should draw the most numbers.

If you look through the events individually it shows the TV ratings.

Good bellator is a bunch of low level mma during the prelims(sometimes the main cards) it’s a joke to real mma and a majority of the events are boring lay and pray bs. Now I’m really interested to see how PFL does and If it’s gonna be the second biggest org in the states.

Numbers are tainted

Oof. You're going to have the Bellator shills (see my signature) all over you

 

[chrisdiaz]

that girl on the main card had a great KO and is decent looking, bellator needs to promote her hard.

MLB and NFL have very tiny niche audience in Europe. We care about soccer much more.
So really bad analogy.

Dude I dont know where you live in Europe but NFL is fcking huge in Germany. Not close to football but still.

 

[Kos Fan]

They keep changing their platform. It was on Paramount, then I think NBC sports for like one event, now on Showtime. If One can stay on TNT then they could absolutely pass Bellator with how much easier it is to watch.

Czech Republic. In news we get NFL exactly 1 time per year, superbowl. That's it.
I don't think that you get news about games played etc. That would be huge. Isn't handball much more popular then egghand for example?

Beat a re-run of Sister Sister. Take that Dana!
