Saturday's Strikeforce Viewership Drops More Than 40% from Last Showtime Broadcast
Quote:
According to a report by MMAJunkie.com Saturday night's Strikeforce: Heavy Artillery event, that featured a main event title fight between champion Alistair Overeem and contender Brett Rogers broadcast on Showtime drew 40.43 percent fewer viewers than the Strikeforce: Miami show that was presented by the network in January.
To put into perspective how bad the ratings for the show are, last weekend's broadcast netted 308,000 Showtime subscribers, while the UFC's Spike TV broadcasted counter-programming initiative, UFC's Ultimate Fights, was seen by 894,000 viewers.
No matter how you slice it, things aren't looking good for Strikeforce, especially if they eventually do reach out to CBS to plead their case to have another show broadcast on the cable network.
