According to Sports Navigator:

Hustle drew a 4.0% rating on TV-Tokyo.

K-1’s Dynamite event drew the following:

6:00-8:30 PM - 11.1%
8:30-11:00 PM - 14.7%
11:00-11:34 PM - 11.1%

In other words, not very strong across the board.

Kohaku (Red & White Music Festival) drew a 32.8% rating in part one and 39.5% rating in part two of their night-long show on NHK.

I think those ratings are K1 only. Yarrenoka was only available on PPV in Japan.

Interestingly enough the dropoff after 11:00 corresponds to when the Fedor and Akiyama fights were being broadcast. (atleast according to the fight opinion comments)

Anyone know the Yarrenoka PPV buys?

I am not surprised for one it was on at 6am here in the US the only reason i saw it is because I have a DVR, other then that I was at work, if not I would of been sleeping I am not getting up for that shit. Then everyone else I know watched it on the internet so I am pretty sure that doesn't go into the ratings column. I will look into the PPV buys. Thank god they didn't charge people in the US or they would of probably drew a big zero going up against the UFC 79 card.

These are the Japanese ratings, not the US ratings. The k1 card was on free tv in Japan. lol that probably should have been specified in the thread.

Gotcha atleast you stopped me before I started looking into it.
