Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 More from Bryan Alvarez: - Hell of a night for UFC. Tito vs. Ken III did a 3.1 rating overall, which was higher than I expected it to do (I think I predicted a 2.8). The show drew a 6.0 in males 18-34. It drew a fucking 9.7 (NINE POINT SEVEN) in males 25-34 from 9:30 to 9:45 PM (the Tito/Ken fight). ECW with the strip poker did a 1.7. I don't have quarter hour breakdowns, but from what I saw of that show I suspect it opened at a 2.5 and fell to a 0.0. Figure Four Weekly And: A 9.7 rating for the fight in males 25-34. An 8.0 rating for the fight in males 18-34. Show drew more 18-34 men than any show on broadcast OR cable all day Highest rating for a night in males 18-34 and 18-49 in Spike history Broke the spike.tv one-day unique viewers record Broke the old UFC quarter hour viewership record by 2 million viewers Show did 4.2 million viewers, crushing Smackdown's CW debut Fight did 5.7 million viewers, more than watched Raw or Smackdown last week (and I think more than watched Cena vs. Edge in the cage, though I don't have those numbers in front of me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fökai 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 That's a demographic rating. I guess they don't have an overall rating for that quarter hour, which is still something like a 5.0 or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 Well, The Torch is apparently saying the Tito/Ken fight did a 4.3, but even that is a great number for UFC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 Wonder what this will do for 64's buyrate? So I guess this beat the baseball game as well. Dana must be doing backflips today. I just hope we see some of the undercard matches (which were the best ones of the night if I read it correctly) on an Unleashed or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 So I guess this beat the baseball game as well. For Males 18-34, it beat the playoffs by 500,000 viewers. Believe it or not, there are people playing down the rating saying they should have done better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
