the good: 

the above numbers were considered the highest ratings on any cable show for a combat sport in Fox Deportes. 



the bad:

Compared to the Televisa deal that UFC opted out it is much lower total viewership numbers 



  

For comparison same day

37.2 million Mexican boxing fans tuned in for Pacquiao vs Marquez III on Azteca 7 this past Saturday, a 31 in the ratings

UFC 100 was reported to have done 25 million viewers but that is in question considering this and ufc only drew a 13.30 rating

Saul Alvarez's fight with Matthew Hatton earlier this year did a 24 rating (28.8 million viewers).

Oh well, either way it's a toe in the door. MMA will eventually catch on down there. Whether boxing or lucha libre, those folks dig fighting.
