It was on Thursday night, I'm sure that impacted viewership.

Main event started around midnight eastern time? That's gotta play a huge role.

I had the following day off or I wouldn't have been up so late. I love boxing, but work is work.

They know who Teo is. He did over 4.2 million in viewership just a few years back when he fought Loma on regular ESPN.

As already pointed out that Thursday night slot would've hurt viewership a lot. Throw in Ortiz as the opponent, someone that is obscure and isn't exciting, and it's the perfect recipe for low numbers. We've already seen what Teo can pull against guys that have name value and aren't boring to watch.
