Unlike past cards staged by Top Rank in Macao at the Cotai Arena at the Venetian Resort, there will be no participation by HBO, which has usually broadcast these events on same day tape delay on HBO2. But this time around Top Rank is on their own.
"Because they have something else that day and it costs us a lot of money to do it up to HBO standards more than it would cost for doing it on Chinese television," explained Arum, of this card that will feature Nonito Donaire and his cast of Asian boxers.
Regardless, portions of this card will be telecast back to the States.
"We're doing those fights for UniMas and maybe a couple of those fights for the Philippine channel," said Arum.
