Vadims 7.5 mil claim proved a LIE by ratings

More dishonesty and dishonor brought to Team Fedor.

What a surprise

These are the top 100 TV ratings for Russia during the time of the fight and Fedor isn't present. Yes 7 million viewers should get them on the top 100 list here, yet they're not.

who still believes vadim?

How desperate must Vadim be to be lying about this?

NoobHeadShot - who still believes vadim?

Dana and Vadim are on about the same level when it comes to honesty.

OP is wrong. The ratings released by TNS Russa are apparently subdivided into general and sports programming. He is looking at the general section. According to TNS Russia, Fedor vs. Monson was the most-watched sporting event of the week in Moscow (it says Russia-wide ratings are not yet available).



The 7.5 million figure is for the live airing plus two replays the same weekend. It did 4.9 million viewers live according to the original press release here.

 nice job smoogy!

frontrowbrian -  Didn't Dana say UFC did 60 million viewers in Brazil? Turned out to be 22... still impressive but he basicallt tripled the real figure.



 lol Dana exaggerating? No way what's next him critiquing fighters like he could actually do their job better?



Seriously though I wonder what the real numbers are. Supposedly 4.9 million is the live number which is damn good. Not Ufc on Fox good but still damn solid.

That's why he didn't cite his source.

I edited a link into the post you jackenape!



The numbers in the M-1/mixfight press release are from the same source (TNS Russia) as the numbers the OP cited from allcharts. Only M-1 could put on a show that verifiably reached millions of people new to MMA, release photographs of the packed 22,000 seat arena, and "fans" still deny both. UG is going to hell in a handbasket! Get off my lawn!
