It is the best PBC Countdown telecast of 2019 and the second-best viewership overall since December of 2018.

Wilder-Ortiz takes place Saturday November 23rd on Fox PPV.

Payout Perspective:

The shoulder programming for this event has seen an increase in viewership. One can only think that the newfound interest in the Heavyweight Division has helped facilitate the viewers for the event.  Wilder’s persona and his KO ability makes him a marketable feature that people are willing to watch.
