Grading Strikeforce on CBS: Fedor Vs. Rogers- Plus & Minus

09 Nov 2009 11:30:32 PST

Written by Tommy Messano
The early 3.79 million numbers do not take into account the heavyweight main event due to the overrun time of the program. CBS and Strikeforce can also chalk up wins in two key television demographics. Men 18-24 and men 18-34 years of age tuned into CBS Saturday Night Fights more than any other...

Preliminary CBS ratings for Strikeforce: ‘Fedor vs Rogers’ averages 3.79 million viewers

08 Nov 2009 21:41:21 PST

Written by Jesse Holland
Considering this card was promoted exclusively around the main event between Brett Rogers and Fedor Emelianenko, it’s not unreasonable to think these numbers could spike for the main event, effectively raising the overall totals like it did for the previous CBS/MMA offering by Elite...

Opinion: The Long-Term Kimbo Game

02 Nov 2009 21:09:32 PST

Written by TLow
The more I think about it, the more I can’t see the long term logic in the UFC’s pursuing Kimbo Slice. The short-term benefit is pretty obvious. This season of TUF has enjoyed some great ratings. That means Spike can command a higher price for advertising slots, and it gives Dana White a large a...

The great irony in watching Dana White six months talk about how Kimbo Slice is bad for MMA is that now he’s Kimbo’s biggest pusher in the business.

First, no one is equating this with StandGate (at least I am not). The point about Kimbo is not his last fight's unethical nature, but the promotion as a "street fighter" he received irrespective of his late ignoble stand. It's about what sort of message his presence and stature as a street br...

With all the shadiness of the first EliteXC on CBS show still on our minds, it looks like we finally have some proof that EliteXC is influencing its fighters so that its cash cow (Kimbo Slice) doesn’t have to expose the weakness in his ground game. Seth Petruzelli is claiming he was approache...

Written by Terry Henson
Make no mistake (or listen to the EliteXC spin), this was a disaster for Slice and the company. True, but Kimbo wasn’t defeated by a crafty Brazilian jiu-jitsu master. He wasn’t caught in a submission by an experienced wrestler. He didn’t lose a decision after a three-round brawl.
