Cris Cyborg’s MMA promotion Nacão Cyborg 7 proves big time TV ratings success in Brazil with BAND SPORT TV

Launched in 2002 by the Grupo Bandeirantes de Comunicação BAND TV is a Brazilian Cable television network that focuses on sports programing.  Showcasing Nacão Cyborg 7 live as part of their sports programing the event featured a full main card of 11 fights all broadcasted live, and a preliminary fight card of 7 bouts featuring amateurs athletes being streamed live here at CrisCyborg.Com.  Early ratings have been received and  the programing received a .9 which is just under 2 million live viewers during the Main Event.  These numbers do not calculate DVR settings, Rebroadcasts, or streaming sites which would add to the total. Competing with a live UFC Broadcast on Brazilian channel Combate, these numbers are considerably strong in the demographics.
