Why would Bellator start at 4pm EST?

[MMAProfessional]

I'm probably being selfish and for others is a good start time but 4pm it will just end when most get home from work. I'll be home a little after 5 so hopefully I'll get top catch the main event. That's the only one I'm interested in anyways

Because it's in Ireland.

 

[TARTARA]

It's prime time for Europe !

I’m with you. I get that it’s in Dublin, but dude, do that shit on a Saturday if you’re going to have this kind of start time. I’ll get home a bit after 5 PM CST, so hopefully I can catch some of it.

Same! Literally just walked in the door from work when Moose was making his walkout. What a nasty destruction lol.

I'm glad at least I could watch it live here unlike a few recent Bellators that Showtime didn't have live or delayed here.

Just saw that Moose retained belt WTF?

Just opened my first Zima and the night is over....DAMN!
Now what?

Primetime in Ireland for the fans, you'll likely see the same thing for the London card. UFC will also likely do same for their London event in a few weeks.

You're trying to cater to that audience for ticket sales and tv broadcast partners.

Record it , then watch anytime at your convenience

Ya, Saturday for European cards and Friday for American ones seems like the smartest decision.

No jokes, the UFC had a card start at midnight when they held it over here in Europe. So by the time the main event happened, half the audience was asleep. I forgot which one it was but my friend went and he passed out before the comain which was at 5 am

Agree. I walked in the door from work literally as Mousasi was making his walkout. So I got to see the main event at least. Missed Tokov and Sidellnikov in the prelims that I wanted to check out.

Like when I record them as long as do not know the results ahead of time... Best for fast-warding...

Because earth is flat and Coker is bad buisnessman by placing Event after midnight.
