It's one thing for the report to be out there but @stephenasmith really re-posted it 5.8 million followers🤣@FOS reported that Skip Bayless' new Undisputed format only averaged 131,000 viewers, compared to First Take's 448,000.

The premiere of the new and improved “Undisputed Live” drew 131,000 viewers on Monday to 448,000 for ESPN’s top-rated “First Take,” according to sources.
The gap widened on Tuesday, with “Undisputed Live” averaging 120,000 viewers to 474,000 for “First Take.”
On Wednesday, “Undisputed Live” plunged to 78,000 viewers vs. 423,000 for “First Take.”
We will say this is not a fair fight. Skip Bayless is a major reason that First Take became a success in the first place. When he left, he was starting from the bottom again. Either way, it is clear that Stephen A Smith views this as a competition.
