Wilder-Ortiz Showtime's Highest-Rated Fight Since Wilder-Stiverne

Not since Deontay Wilder won the WBC heavyweight title from Bermane Stiverne have as many viewers watched a boxing match on Showtime as they did Saturday night. According to ratings released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research, Wilder’s compelling comeback victory over Luis Ortiz drew a peak audience of 1.2 million viewers and averaged 1.1 viewers. That was Showtime’s largest viewership since Wilder’s unanimous-decision defeat of Stiverne attracted a peak audience of 1.34 million viewers and an average viewership of 1.24 million in January 2015.

Both have their own headline.

Am just saying what I was told. And hearn is looking at the bigger picture he wants Joshua to fight prime time in America to build his name and also see the numbers in regards to attendance and also tv ratings.... AJ doesn't plan to fight in just the UK for ever, and if the Wilder fight does happen in Vegas it makes sense to have one fight in America before.
