GLORY kickboxing struck a deal with ESPN last Thursday (Nov. 5, 2015) to broadcast GLORY 25 on both ESPN3 and ESPN2 last Friday (Nov. 6, 2015). The former aired the fight card live from Monza, Italy, and the latter aired a tape-delayed replay at 1:30 a.m. ET later that evening.
According to SportsTVRatings.com (h/t Liverkick.com), 198,000 viewers tuned in to see Robin van Roosmalen's controversial unanimous decision win over Sittichai Sitsongpeenong, Giorgio Petrosyan defeat Josh Jauncey in his GLORY return, and Murthel Groenhart win the night's Welterweight "Contender" tournament.
"We feel really good about the numbers on ESPN2," said GLORY CEO Jon J.
