According to TVByTheNumbers.com, Elite XC drew 4.38 million viewers last night — an increase of nearly 1.5 million from “Unfinished Business” in July. This number is a lot better than their prior show back in July, which was considered a major disappointment. Here's the ratings history of EliteXC's live events on CBS:

May 31 - “Saturday Night Fights”: 1.9/6 share (4 million viewers)
July 26 - “Unfinished Business”: 1.0/3 share (2.62 million viewers)
October - 4 “Heat”: 1.8/6 share (4.38 million viewers)

The success of "Heat" should be enough for CBS to air a fourth event in 2009. On a sour note, all three of EliteXC's live events on CBS were beat out by “America’s Most Wanted” (FOX) in the 18-49 demographic.
