That's a good sign and a good rating for Ward coming off such a long layoff.

The average for the entire telecast isn't as simple as adding those numbers and dividing by 2 as there are 3 other segments; pre-fight, post-fight 1, and post-fight 2. Still, you can't add up all 5 segments and divide by 5 because each segment is a different time length.

HBO doesn't release the average for the entire telecast like PBC does so I don't know what the entire show really averaged.
