    These seem to get made public in the states... Have these figures been released yet or does anyone have a rough idea how it did?

    If true, Wilder-Stiverne II drew NEARLY TWICE as many people as those who tuned in for Joshua-Takam, and MORE than tuned in for Joshua-Wlad.

    So much for Joshua being the bigger draw in the U.S. Even when Wilder's numbers fall from the million plus he draws on network TV, they still draw more than Joshua draws here in viewers.

    Wilder-Washington peaked at nearly 2 million viewers on network television. (1.87 million).

    Fighting on HBO and Showtime isn't getting Joshua near that, certainly not by avoiding Wilder.

    Different time zones for what? 1.86 million is more than 300,000 or 600,000.

    Wilder-Washington Peaked at 1.86 Million Viewers; Averaged 1.76M

    By Keith Idec

    The “PBC on FOX” boxing tripleheader headlined by WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder’s knockout of Gerald Washington averaged 1.76 million viewers Saturday night, according to ratings released Tuesday morning by Nielsen Media Research.

    Viewership for the main event of FOX’s tripleheader peaked at 1.86 million in its final 15 minutes. The rating made the Wilder-Washington fight the most-watched boxing match thus far this year in the United States.

    When Joshua is on air in America it's usually lunch time not prime time. Or are you to dumb to figure that out?

    Joshua-Takam and Joshua-Wlad aired at 5:30-6 p.m. on the east coast. Is that lunch time?

    The difference is Fox is free for everyone

    HBO and showtime are 10 bucks a month

    Right. And Joshua isn't fighting on free TV in the U.S. He's certainly not if he signs with HBO.

    And Showtime isn't free, and Wilder-Stiverne II drew nearly twice as many viewers as Joshua-Takam on the same network a week apart.

    Even 6pm is not prime time. I work until then...

    Comparing apples and oranges. If AJ fights in US then you can compare his numbers. Guaranteed he fills a bigger stadium than 11k even in US.

    Ah... that make more sense...

    Same reason Wlad can pull in 10 million on free to air in Germany.

    Whereas, the AJ fight did over a 1.2m in the UK but that was PPV
