Bellator coming to Birmingham May 4th 

http://calendar.ufc.com/unitedkingdom

The last event listed on the ufc website is the 2nd of December fight night card. The others from then don’t list bt sports as the channel it’s on 

Any idea what is happening to the Ufc’s December fight cards? With the eleven sports deal starting in January and the bt one ending at the end of November. Are we going to see the December cards on tv here?

Some reports have said that it will be showed on bt until the end of the year then start on eleven sports from January 1st. 

The way I read it is, all fight nights will be on eleven sports and some numbered events will be on Ppv and the ones that aren’t will be on eleven sports. Can only see a hand full being on Ppv here .

How quick does fightpass show numbered events and fight nights on demand?

Big surge in ratings aswell from a 1.9 to a 2.2

Which is good cause we all know how much the wwe care about the ratings.didnt realise how bad raw was doing lately. Doing less now them what nitro was doing when it shut down

That's the end of Alex Reid to. No one needs to see him fight again. He's not a draw either.

 

The wait time is weird considering the show was on tape delay. Would have made sense to just have a small gap and bring on the next fight.

Still didn't stop bellator sticking him on the front page of the programme:-)

We got in the venue around 6.30ish,couldnt believe how empty it was. When we got in at that time id say it was barely 1/3 full with the whole top section curtained off.

Enjoyed the show though and would go to bellator again,i just wouldnt get the tickets when they go on sale.

The place was probaly 2/3rds full by the time the main card started.Main card was really enjoyable. That knee was nasty.

One thing i was really disappointed with was no mention of Kimbo Slice. I thought they would have done some type of tribute for him. But nothing. I havent watched it on tv yet was anything mentioned on tv?

axs said that it was the o2's decision to put the prices down and the o2 told me they had been put down due to poor ticket sales. Surely Bellator would have a big hand in this decision aswell. I wouldnt have thought that the o2 could just put the prices down on a company's event without them knowing.

When the tickets went on sale i could only afford the £100 ones. Think they came to £115 with the fees. I had to buy two because my wifes coming.

Im on the lower tier and will be just past the screen. So a couple of blocks from the center. Basically just out of the corner. Even though it pisses me off that someone can now get a seat dead center for 50-75 pound,if my seat was moved dead center id be happy. The money wouldnt bother me to much,i just want the best seat i can get for my money.

yeh but you may still get something back for them.

 

Where are the cheaper tickets on sale? they are still full price on ticketmaster.

On the axs site mate

Bono, if your close by I'd phone up, just be polite to them on the phone and ask. If they say no and your local I'd go ask at the box office. And if not maybe tweet Coker/Bellator account saying dissapointed you laid out early money etc and now people late to the game getting better seats for cheaper.

Thanks for the advice. Gave axs a call and they understood my frustrations so they said. They said they couldnt do anything, that it was an arena thing. They said they would email the o2 and get back to me. I spoke to someone at the o2 and they said its an axs thing :-) in the mean time i havent heard nothing off axs. Probaly just pick a better seat on the night once the shows started.

Sent a few moany tweets. That's sort this mess out!

 

Let me know if you hear anything back and I'll do the same. Not sure how easy it will be to move around the arena during the night - they usually have stewards checking tickets in each area, don't they?

Yeah ill let you know if they get back to me. I know they have stewards checking as you go in at the top of the blocks but theres nothing stopping you from moving across the blocks. Looks like theres gonna be plenty of space. The o2 said that tickets were reduced because of poor ticket sales.

tv guide is a bit weird for this. According to the Channel 5 site, its on Channel 5 from 9pm for an hour, then on Spike from 10pm for one hour. eh?

My sky guide has got 9-10 on spike and 10-12 on channel 5. I thought the main card was 9-11 or is the tv coverage just an hour behind

Big price reductions on the bellator seats. Can pick up a seat in the lower tier directly looking at the stage now for £50 and a floor seat for £75 . Paid £115 for seats worse then them ones. Look like there will be plenty of room so ill probably move over closer to the cage. if I went to the box office before the show, would they move my tickets for better seats?

(Spike TV)

Paul Daley vs. Douglas Lima

Michael Page vs. Evangelista Santos

Linton Vassell vs. Francis Carmont

James Gallagher vs. Mike Cutting

Matt Mitrione vs. Oli Thompson

Preliminary card (MMAMad.com)

Neil Grove vs. James Mulheron

Bola Omoyele vs. Lee Chadwick

Alex Reid vs. Manuel Garcia

Mike Shipman vs. Curtis Widmer

Pietro Menga vs. Spencer Hewitt

Luiz Henrique Tosta vs. Dean Garnett

Jason Radcliffe vs. Jack Mason

Chase Morton vs. Nathaniel Wood

CJ Meeks vs. Danny Mitchell

Looks like theve stopped selling tickets in the top tier for the bellator show in london

https://axsmobile.eventshopper.com/mobileshopper/index.html

Either shuting the whole section,moving the people who have brought tickets in there to the bottom tier or they have just stopped selling tickets.

Anyone know if the card has been finalised? Did they find an opponent for Thompson?

Looks like there wasnt much of a rush for bellator tickets. Can get on the ticket site easy and theres 6 seats together in more or less every block.

Terrible rating for raw this week,not sure why stings first match wasnt advertised last week

-- September 14: There was no rebound following last week's historically-low TV rating last Monday on Labor Day.

The "season premiere" of Raw scored a 2.42 rating, down slightly from last week's 2.44 rating.

The snapshot reflects a significant drop-off in 2015 ratings compared to previous years. This year's Raw against the Monday Night Football Week 1 doubleheader scored a 2.42 rating, down from a 2.88 rating last year, a 2.91 rating two years ago, and 2.98 rating three years ago.

- Raw averaged 3.397 million viewers, about the same as 3.385 million average viewers last week.

Hourly Break Down: 3.290 million first hour viewers with a slow start out of the gate, an increase to 3.539 million second hour viewers, and a drop-off to 3.363 million third hour viewers at the intersection of the first MNF game ending and the second game on the West Coast beginning.

The third hour included Sting's first-ever Raw TV match, which was not announced in advance. WWE made the announcement at the top of the first hour, which was the least-watched first hour of Raw this year. The previous low for the first hour was 3.362 million viewers on June 29.

- In the demographic ratings, Raw took a big hit in males 18-34 & 18-49. Both were down three-tenths of a rating from last week. Raw was also down 12 percent among all adults 18-49, likely impacted by the season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" on ABC.

I brought the new sting figure off ebay the other day. Came yesterday,it is one amazing figure!

Its on spike tv here saturday night

Is the shamrock v slice event on spike tv here this week? Cant find it listed.
