Bellator & SF ratings (shocker)

[Liquidrob]

I don't recall much pub from the "MMA media" towards Bellator last week.

Tonight's # will certainly drop but it's a question of how much of a drop.

it was really bad last week, but they got 'some' just by SF having a show and Bellator getting a mention, it has been dead this week for Bellator

Thats how Coker plays it and he is sticking with it

Affliction, EliteXC, etc...tried that plan and failed, Coker just does his own thing, zombies will be zombies no matter what Coker says in the media that doesnt even cover him anyway, best thing Strikeforce and Coker can keep doing is putting on great shows, thats been there plan for a while now and they're building even if zombies tell you they're dieing

Anyway, I read that Hendo vs Feijao peaked at 520,000, thought it would be higher, but still decent

Bellator this week has been dead in the MMA media, even worse than last week, I think having it on with a SF card helped it actually, now thats it the only show on this Saturday no one cares, strange

I see 150k max for viewers

Affliction didn't play that card and was too new anyway, but I guess this argument is all moot now. Seems like Coker didn't want to burn any bridges.

But, as a final point if you look back at all of the great promoters from Don King, Vince M., and now Dana. They were all loud, brash, and relentlessly pushed their brand. Casuals aren't just going to jump onboard, you have to mold a consensus & perception.
