Bellator 66 - Aoki vs Alvarez II horrible ratings

 I always watch the stream.

RandyDarsh -  I couldn't find the event on any channel in Canada, just a bellator event scheduled for the next night.
I thought I just got the day of the fights wrong. Phone Post


 watch it onlne,WWE is on in it's timeslot on the score. spike.com.

 the good thing is that these horrendous ratings will have no effect on them making the move to Spike next year

they knew this would be a transition year going in, and were not expecting good ratings

still must suck that you put on your company's best card to date and you only get just over 100k

Bellators ratings mean nothing at this point, they're moving to spike, the numbers stink there than it matters, give them spike, a reality show and some promotion and lets see what happens

This numbers only matter if spike pulls the plug before they start next year

On spike they should start fresh and start with season champs, forget the champs thing all together and stick with seasons, you win it and you're back in it next season

Nice lol maybe that's why the ratings sucked, cause I totally would have tuned in. Phone Post

MTV2 stinks! No HD during today's day and age is like not having color TV during the 90s. Phone Post

 ^ this.  and add brackets for the tournaments and you have something.

Askren soured more casuals too don't forget that

MMALOGIC -  It hurt Alvarez almost as much as bellator... 

Bellator's business model has proven to be a failure... if your highest paid fighter who was with you for 4 years, face of your promotion, winner of your tourney, victor of your tourney finals... is this guy pulls only 109k viewers you dunn datta.

Say goodbye to the tournaments and hello to freak show mma.


 lol, get over yourself bud, MMA isnt about "stars" its about fights.
people dont watch football for the superstars, they watch for the team playing the game.

and bellator has plenty of fighters who are very exciting very consistently. stop kidding yourself.

 ^ how come nobody watches?

mtv2 is available in 80 million homes and versus was available in less than 78 million when the wec was on there and versus had no brand value unlike mtv2.

The wec was able to build stars like urijah, torres aldo...  Urijah pulled over a million viewers a few times on a network that was less known than MTV2.  Torres pulled over 600k..  Aldo pulled over 400k.  The wec as a whole would pull better ratings.

WHy cant bellator pull any numbers on a better network?  because their business model is a failure.  It has failed to create any stars or any fights people want to see when they want to see it.

It's garbage... wake up and smell the coffee.  And now they are losing what little talent they did have.
 

:/ I love Bellator.

Damn that's bad. Was a good card too. Glad I remembered it was on.
