“Saturday Night Fights” averaged 2.63 million viewers for the live network television broadcast and earned an anemic 1.0 rating. To put that number in perspective, Strikeforce was beat by America’s Most Wanted and a repeat of Law & Order.
It also fell far short of their CBS debut last November when “Fedor vs. Rogers” drew 3.79 million viewers in the overnight ratings (and later peaked with 5.46 million in the main event).
The final numbers that include the remainder of the Shields vs. Henderson main event as well as the post-fight melee will be available Tuesday.
Here’s a snapshot of the quarterly breakdown, courtesy of TV by the Numbers:
9:00 p.m. – Viewers: 2.57 million (#4), A18-49: 0.8/ 3 (#4)
9:30 p.m. – Viewers: 2.55 million (#4), A18-49: 1.0/ 3 (#4)
