UFC on FOX 22 peaks with 4.8 million

[Roljo]

Waterson isn't as skilled as Maia and Condit but you'd be fucking stupid to think she's not a skilled fighter. I know what I fucking saw and she's very good on the ground and what she did takes a good amount of skill to pull off successfully.

Didn't say that Waterson isn't skilled, she is quite good, not the case of van zant and they still did draw like 3 times more than condit/maïa. I wanted the mma to be a sport so this for me is sad because nowadays the ufc makes the mma pretty much a popularity contest and that's just the way people seem to like it.

is 4.8 million peak good for Fox?

They were second place in 18-34 which is what fox wants so this is good.

I understand that but skilled fighters do become popular to. Connor is the most popular and he is very skilled. Jones wasn't a massive draw but he did well and he's skilled too. It's not always going to be the most skilled unfortunately but at least those fighters will bring eyes to the people who beat them. Like Holly Holm got with Ronda.

Remove that fruit in the pool and replace him with this

On his best day Perry is like a 6

It did a lot better than Bernard Hopkins retirement fight that Aired on HBO after the UFC card. Which Averaged 934k and peaked at a little over a million.

HBO is subscription based.

HBO is subscription based.

No shit, but they're still able to atract 8-9 million viewers for their television shows like Game of Thrones.

Fox aired the WBC HW champion Deontay Wilder's fight earlier this year and it averaged 1.8 million. Boxing just isn't getting the attention that MMA is in the States right now.

There was only one boxing fight that drew huge ratings this year and that was the Errol Spence jr fight that was sandwiched in between Olympic programming.

Its still not fair to compare network TV to premium cable.

I wonder if Mickey knows he has his own emoticon on Sherdog. I'll ask him when he wakes up from our exhausting "session"...

No wonder I never argue with you, you know what you're talking about. Carry on!

 

[Jermei]

Peaked at Sage / Gall no doubt.

 

[Drake]

the UFC's hype machine or Platinum Nation's ?

Lol, both!

 

[Drake]

Randa headlining would have brought 10+ million viewers.

ufc is dying

it is though. UFC on Fox hit an all time low this year. only conor/rousey are holding things up on ppv.

 

[riitzni]

Gotta love the naysayers calling it a weak card before it happened.

 

[LORDTENSAIMMA]

Two words

SEX APPEAL

I'd like to see that 14 year old girls older sister.

Who are the 2 gay guys?

Not necessarily. I think they only need to sell 150,000 to break even.


UFC 203 475,000
UFC 204 300,000
UFC 205 150,000 (Maybe?)

While they're not crushing it without Conor or Ronda they are still turning a profit.

So how many total buys are we looking at this year without conor or rousey? 200, was also an aberration.

That 14 year old girl's name is Sage Northcutt, her sister is pretty cute

Rousey didn't fight at all in 2016 (yet), so just take away the Conor fights. What's the point of doing any of this though? It just seems like You're grasping at straws to try and discredit them.
