You have probably hit the nail on the head within your question.... they aren’t bothered about people spectating on the events, they want online and TV ratings. This is what brings the dollars in.
Having the last round attracting a large online audience puts the promotors in a good position for generating higher profile sponsors going forward.
It’s shit, but that’s how it is.
