What did they expect? It was a 100-1 underdog in there.

Those are the highest numbers ggg has ever done hahahahaha

Ggg would be called a god for those numbers on hbo.... But just because its on fox people think non boxing fans will somehow watch.... Respectable numbers for a mismatch....

I know the popularity of boxing suffered a whole lot, but Klitschko had very good ratings in germany even when he fought against bums like pianeta and Leapai.

I would have reckon that an american heavyweight champ, regardless if he is the real champ or not, wouldd pull in good numbers

Exactly. For an American heavyweight kinda champion on free TV not very good.

This is a lie, it's 1.8 million.

Wilder busted himself up for those numbers? He played it safe and picked on a guy easy to hit. Now the purse might not cover the Dr. bill, and the Dr. might not be able to fix the damage. He should have picked a better name, Arreola drew flies.

Not every good? It's a disaster. It's a joke. 1.4 mil on Fox, in primetime? Getting literally lapped by reruns of shows no one has ever heard of like 48 hours? As in doubled? It's a failure. PBC and their mismatches continue to disappoint and there's no spinning it anymore, especially not this one. "Last among major networks." Sums it up.
