I expected more from a FREE Network TV heavyweight champion fight, those are pretty poor numbers for a heayweight champion from America.

I was hoping/expecting a lot more, I thought it would be well over 2m considering he is an American Heavyweight champion. I want to see Wilder get huge numbers so if/when a Wilder vs Joshua fight goes down it will be a massive event that draws in casuals and new fans to the sport.
I didn't see any promotion for this fight though so I'm sure that played a role. If I wasn't a hardcore fan that always checks the monthly schedule I would have had no idea this fight was going down.

Decent #s
Another top 10 for the year for PBC
if the ,Porter/Thurman #s are any indication it'll go up to 1.9 or so
Another thing is I don't know how it was for everyone else but the first 2 hrs of the broadcast for me only showed the Vazquez/Diaz and Lubin fights so the Wilder fight might not even be registered
