Those are pretty low numbers, which is sad. I was there and the crowd was really hype for Shields and seemed really into it the whole event, guess that doesn't translate to viewers lol. Had a great time and I'd definitely pay to go see Shields next time she's on the east coast.

Damn! More than Canelo & AJ's last fights on DAZN combined!!

Claressa "A-side" Shields. GWOAT!

Sad to say but nobody cares about female boxing. I think Katie Taylor might have the best chance of crossing over but it won't be Shields.

FS1 card did even worse sat night. PREMIER BOXING CHAMPION L: PETER QUILLIN/CALEB TRUAX drew 181K viewers.

Showtime ratings have been poor this year. Easter vs Barthelemy is a nice fight coming up but neither of those guys are big draws so that won't do good numbers either.

Not great but it's a start! Good fight though!

It’s all good. Katie Taylor bought to do her thing on DAZN under the Joshua undercard! For undisputed and the GWOAT!

Horrendous figures for 'the biggest womens fight of all time'.
