The first fight drew 139,000 as Otto Wallin returned to defeat Travis Kauffman.
Payout Perspective:
Not the best ratings for Showtime although it was the third boxing telecast of the day. We will see how the ratings go with the return of boxing to Showtime. In just its second telecast upon returning, the ratings are not too promising.
