It didn't do that well at the gate, but it actually is a higher number than UFC Fight Night 87 did with Overeem vs. Arlovski. The main card was the 5th most watched sports programming on cable on Sunday Night behind Dodgers-Mets, some soccer stuff, and SportsCenter

I was just surprised to see it performing better than a UFC event, but I see it was the Mexican leagues, so that answers the question of who was watching.

The World Cup of Football is the second most watched sporting event in the world since forever. It's behind the Olympics.

Football is the most played, watched, practised, and richest sport in the world.

That's way better than I expected.

IT did better than the Overeem card I think.

... everywhere other than America.

If someone stood on a desk at my office and offered 1 million dollars in cash to name 3 professional soccer players, nobody would win. I honestly don't even know the names of the teams here.

In context, being behind soccer in ratings is a bad sign in the states.

Eh I always think it's kind of embarrassing the Super Bowl only watched by one country gets about 1/6th the viewership of supposedly the biggest sport in the entire world's World Cup final which also only happens every 4 years.

Comparatively the US loves football more than the world loves soccer, by a country mile. #Murica

Did better than I thought considering those things. Luckily we were able to catch the main event right after thrones.

Wasn't that at a shitty time for the US?

So was this... sorta

 

[Hello There Friend]

Kind of surprised if did better then Reem vs Arlovski. How much viewers did that card attract?

Is Reem not that popular among the casuals? I figured he had somewhat of a name.

I'm spinning the soccer plate. I run soccer.
