UFC FN Gaethje vs Vick draws 596K Viewers

[SenseiJim]

So is the ufc dying today or not????

 

[BigGucciSosa]

Needed more wmma to bring up the numbers

 

[OrigFan255]

Da sh*t was on at like 1:30AM in the EASTERN time zone.

Put a big event on at hours that someone over 40 can stay awake until and watch those numbers explode.

The eastern time zone is the biggest market for viewers. Don’t appease other markets assuming that Eastern will use pharmaceuticals to stay awake!

OK, I am done venting!

When do ESPN cards start? Just being on ESPN should get bigger numbers

 

[Pakman]

Did you have a point?

Yes

 

[TITS]

Yes

Ok, lets hear it.

Network TV should always be over a mil but this number isnt too bad. It was a great card.

 

[AlexDB9]

Could of been 700K+ If they hadn’t shoehorned that boring ass wmma fight for no reason. Completely killed the vibe

 

[Deleted member 549255]

Ok, lets hear it.

I wanted to share UFC news on Sherdog’s “UFC discussion” section.

 

[Poirierfan]

I DVR'd it...

Are those stats counted?

Or just the schmucks who were actually sitting in front of the TV at that moment? (from whatever sample is supposed to represent "the people").

Hey, who are you to call us smucks, smuck!

low number. Prelims being on FS2 hurts cause they dont have few hours to build up the audience.

Not that main event was big but its about 200k less than they normally do.

Fox has really stopped promoting the UFC this last year since they are done, you dont see promos, commercials, anything from Fox anymore.

Hell even TUF which I know is past the point of being fresh and people caring but they would always promote it with commercials and spots, just saw its airing tomorrow. Never saw any promo for it.

UFC has to be counting down the days till they move to ESPN.

Your joking right? Joshua sells out national football stadiums which hold 100’000 people. Then the pay per views in UK alone are in the millions...

Anthony Joshua doesn't fight every weekend tho

 

[bad seed]

Sooo is that good or bad?

it did horribly. Here are typical ratings for UFC FN cards:

A card headlined by a fan favorite like Gaethje should have drawn ~800k, especially without any competing sports broadcasts or an Avengers opening.

It's funny that Gaethje thinks he deserves more for leaving it all out there.. for no one to see.
