https://www.mmafighting.com/2017/6/26/15875850/bellator-180-averaged-901000-viewers According to Dave Meltzer. Bellator had 901k viewers, the UFC averages 902k for televised prelims. However early estimates put Bellator's PPV buys at roughly 2/5ths of the UFC average, which should be in the range of 150-175k, 25-50k short of their goal. Good news-- the UFC's fans are MMA fans and will tune in to see other shows. Bad news-- a consistent PPV model takes years to develop.
Comcast changed their tv packages over a year ago making spike tv a part of an add on package. Because of that, i wasn't able to watch. I assume that would be the case for most with comcast in my area. Fs1 is included in the package i already have.
