Wilder vs Breazeale drew 791K viewers on saturday.

Down from his last 2 Showtime fights. Fury PPV doesn't appear to have boosted his TV ratings at all.

Wilder vs Stiverne drew 824K viewers
Wilder vs Ortiz drew 1.1M viewers

EDIT: Undercard ratings:
Gary Russell drew just 505K viewers
Heraldez vs Mendez drew 319K viewers

All numbers per Nielsen TV ratings

Ouch, not good for Espinoza. It seems people are happy to wait and watch the highlight reel knockout when its shared on social media.

Wow, that's surprising. I expect Showtime to follow the same path as HBO and drop boxing relatively soon.

Showtime just paid Wilder 10M alone more then entire card purses for Wilder/Ortiz and Wilder/Stiverne both cards combined...for WORSE ratings for less people to watch the fight.

They paid this dude $10 Million for less than 800k viewers?

Not as bad as people make it seem. I can say for certain i missed it because of the NBA Western Conference finals I missed it because by the time i turned to it it was over. It didn't get a chance to hit peak views. All things considered, Wilder is clearly a draw.

I thought his value had tripled since the Fury fight according to some posters on here? Shouldn't the veiwers be matching this to a certain extent?

Its my fault.

I have Showtime but forgot and watched an illegal stream.
