Boxing pulled 300 million viewers in China

[HeroBando]

How can you build stars while fighting in China? While 300 million people watched this fight no one knows him in the place that matters, North America.

And this is why you post on a forum, and Bob does the promoting

Wow, Shiming pulls in 300 million and people say who cares. Broner pulls in under 2 million and he's the next hero. How can anyone hate on boxing getting viewers? Just once I'd like to see something that all of boxing can rally behind.

The figure is possible but also probably inflated and it's based on Buffer announcing before the fight that 300 million will watch. So it's just empty hype. I'm sure that a lot of Chinese people watched but you are sourcing based on pure hype.

We got a winner

are people afraid of Chinese invasion in boxing?

they do have a large number of human resource and their could be a diamond out there that just need to be discovered...

The one issue I see with viewers outside of Asia namely US is if Pacquiao does stage a PPV over there who's going to buy a 10-11est./7-8wst time PPV they are 12-13 hours ahead what have the fight take place in their mornings?

If they try to charge the popuation how many will actually pay for it doubt too many avergae Chinese only makes around 5-6 grand a year i believe and even the more succesful ones won't probably dish out alot of money for it they literally have to make it a cuople bucks to get enough buys.

It will take years before anyone sees the fruit of this labor in terms of quaility Chinese fighters making it the high levels and even then noone over here will care bcse they'll be in the lower weight classes which doesn't sell in the states although it'll be interesting to see how they can compete with the more succesful Japan/Thai/Phillipines boxers

the chinese middle class is the fastest growing in the world. you are misinformed about the buying power of the chinese middle class.

If they had it at say 12-1 pm Sunday in China that would be prime time Saturday night into the USA.
