pacquiao vs Algeria ppv buys

Yeah, Rios had a somewhat decent presence in the Mexican-American boxing fan base. While Algieri, being a homegrown American White kid, doesn't have that piece of the market. The only reason I can thnk, is that this is Pac's second fight n China, and thngs wll be more established ths tme - and somehow that will hellp the fight do better than the very first foray into the PPV market there. And he's no longer coming off a two-fight losing streak like he did going into the Rios fight. He's established again after soundly beatng Bradley (really the second tme he did, of course). Zou shiming apparently gets a title shot if he wins his fight! So kinda big fight for China there. That will add the extra spice for the Asian PPV too!

Macau makes Vegas look like Detroit. whoa whoa whoa brotha I'm from Detroit http://www.gifsforum.com/images/gif/cry/grand/indian-cry-eccbc87e4b5ce2fe28308fd9f2a7baf3-1063.gif

I'm predicting around 500k buys. Arum said that everyone made money on the Rios fight so if it does that its a success. As people have already said, Arum and Top Rank are playing the long game here. Jim Rogers said that the 19th century belonged to England. The 20th century belongs to America. The 21st century belongs to China. Its already happening. Macau makes Vegas look like Detroit.

Personally I find it hard to see how this fight is going to do better than the Rios fight.

Don't think it matters a great deal. I think it's more about the Asian market!

Not much hype around this fight. The fight is tomorrow and there are more Mayweather threads than Pacquiao threads. All PAC has to do is get passed this guy and better fights can be made after that.
