and what else does this tell us? I know it is good, but can we assume the fact that it started off with lower numbers and rose throughout the show that that is a very good thing? and does this say an issue is with marketing for it, and if they market better maybe they will have better numbers throughout the show?

yeh, 6.51 million is good, espcially when they were shooting for 3-4 million.

Honestly, I thought this was a really good showing by EliteXC, they had to face some tough decisions for the refs.

However, I’m beginning to wonder if shows on network TV are being referred different than PPV shows. The last fight night had several early stoppages ( irwin/alexander , karo/alves). Maybe they’re afraid of showing blood/brutal KOs.

Of course nobody screams conspiracy after fight night….

I’m actually hoping the UFC does a deal with ESPN or HBO, not network primetime. That way we won’t have to watch them adulterate our sport and turn it into a perverted fucking circus.

3.0 is a very good number. They beat UFC 75 on Spike, it’s a new record high.

Its very good especially if you look at the +300% in males. It’s great for advertising and also in the overall ratings game while competing with big sports events on other networks.
