Early numbers for Strikeforce on CBS.

Here are the early numbers.

9:00 p.m. – Viewers: 3.50 million (#4), Adults 18-49: 1.5/ 5 (share)
9:30 p.m. – Viewers: 3.53 million (#4), A18-49: 1.6/ 5
10:00 p.m. – Viewers: 4.12 million (#3), A18-49: 1.9/ 6
10:30 p.m. – Viewers: 4.01 million (#3), A18-49: 1.8/ 6

Key demos: Males18-34 (2.2) and M18-49 (2.3) with an ave audience of 3.79 million.
Those are solid. They certainly will go up once the main event is factored in, but that won't be until Tuesday.

For comparison, the first Elite show did an ave of 4.2 million with Adults 18-49 doing a 1.9. That show also saw the main event go late so those numbers do not include Kimbo. But it should be noted that this did better than the second Elite show.

Good news then

If that many people watched it, and it was such a good night of fights, then it should be a nice future.

I was expecting a lot more viewers than that.

I was expecting it to do way better than the TUF episode that Kimbo fought on but I’m not sure it did. I don’t have those numbers handy to compare but I thought the TUF episode Kimbo fought on did over 5 million viewers.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying these numbers are bad. I just expected a higher number.

Just BE.

Why the hell would you expect a higher number than Kimbo ? Kimbo has a cool beard and very nice pecs . And Fedor ? He’s a fat , short Russian (ok , he happens to be the greatest mma heavyweight ever , but no beard and no pecs!). You can’t argue with what the people want…despite getting KO’ed in 14 seconds by a LHW washout from the UFC , the people still want Kimbo!
In other words , I’m just as lost as you.
Anyways the numbers are still solid , we should look at the glass half full
