As far as ratings go, how did the EliteXC CBS program do?

Question

I heard (based on rumor) that it did horrible. Is this rumor true?

Answer 1

Here's a report of the numbers. I don't know if this is good or not but here they are. I guess it hard to say how well it went because it was a first on network tv so there wasn't a president

Answer 2

It was likely rumor from the UFC fanboys.  No one knows what the ratings are yet.  If it did horrible then the UFC fanboys will claim satisfaction.  If it did well, then they will simple say it was a one time high because of a curious public.

You have some fanboys giving the EliteXC a year to five years survival.  All that means is that in every fight from here on, they will only have negative things to say until the EliteXC finally does go under.  At which time they will rationalize because it was because they were inferior anyway.

So no matter what, the UFC obviously has its core group who won't look past the UFC or WEC, as legitimate organizations.

Answer 3

I watched it...and i was soo disapointed.  here are the reasons why.

a) it was noting like i expected it to be like

b) they stopped fights too soon based on blood

c) for the fight where the guy got poked in the eye, the people i was with, and me, thought that the fight was stopped because CBS was worried about running over the time slot.  The guy was more than capable to fight more.

d) the kimbo fight, i believe was some-what set up.  Not before you say taht i am hating on Kimbo, you can read the answes that i wrote last week about him.  I like(d) him.  But it was bullshit.  Kimbo wasnt going to lose.  9/10 times, if someone is in the Crucifix and someone is raining down elbows, fight over.  Dan didnt stop it, instead he told the guys to "stay busy" ...elbowing buddy in the face IS staying busy.  His name is so big and soo marketable.  

I hate you CBS.  I was sooo wrong about those fights!
