Bellator 128: 668,000 viewers: http://mmapayout.com/2014/10/bellator-128-668000-viewers/

not great for either. Bellator I expected to be better with Warren/Dantas and Page but it was probably hurt by the MLB playoffs. This week's Bellator will probably be one of their lowest as well with their weakest card.

I know my habits don't reflect everyone's, but it always surprises me the way the viewership numbers seem to vary on events like these from week to week based on the nature of the card or the time of year or the lead in on the same channel or day of the week or on whether there is some other sport going on and other factors.

I can't even relate to people who sometimes watch a show or series and sometimes don't based on whatever random external factors are going on that cause them to sometimes "miss" an event or an episode. If I like something, whether it's the UFC, WSOF, Family Guy, Nova or The Walking Dead or anything else I set a season pass on my DVR and watch *every* episode and never miss it even if I don't watch it live. There is no such thing as skipping an episode or event or forgetting to watch something in my world view. Either I care about it enough to never miss it or I don't bother. The idea of forgetting to watch something and not caring enough to automatically record it is simply unthinkable.

TS, it is interesting that Bellator is not really doing well in the Live + 3 day ratings. Compared to TUF 20 which seems to nearly double the live audience.

WSOF at around 225-250K seems to be the norm.

Educate me. What does "Live +3" mean?

Because its a live event, sports rights fees are so high cause live sports are mostly DVR proof unlike reg tv shows.

TUF is like a reg TV show so it does very good DVR numbers.
