Andre Ward's return to HBO didn't exactly set the industry ablaze, but it was enough to get the ball rolling for a highly anticipated light heavyweight showdown with Sergey Kovalev later this fall.

The unbeaten former super middleweight king enjoyed a successful debut as a full-fledged light heavyweight, scoring a lopsided 12-round decision win over Sullivan Barrera at the Oracle Arena in his hometown of Oakland, Calif. Their March 26 HBO-televised headliner played to an average of 1.064 million viewers, with a peak audience of 1.152 million viewers.

WOW lmao, another fail. Again, nobody cares about Ward. He draws no interest and this proves it. This is the average that tunes in to HBO boxing regardless of who is fighting.
