Payout Perspective:
A very good number even with the telecast going on later at night than usual on the East Coast. There was a substantial drop off from the NBA audience to AEW but a portion of that can be attributed to it happening late at night. But, it shows that the AEW fans are transitory and willing to find the telecast.
