Boxing pulled 300 million viewers in China

[New England]

You guys are funny. You see "300 million" views, and you guys get angry for whatever reason.

the hater is lazy and ******.

he covets the success of others, without having the means to achieve any success of his own.

he "hates" because he fails.

Once shiming looses which won't be to far from now boxing will die in China

What a dumb comment. Regardless of what shiming does china is now exposed to boxing and that's what matters. Boxing will inspire more Chinese to compete in this sport and also a lot of Chinese viewers will know more about boxers in the states and possibly become fans.

Very true. Once a hater, always a hater.

Imagine if you could get a 100,000 attendance at a boxing fight they would be something extraordinary. China is the place to do it.

Great for boxing!

When did snooker become a big time western sport.

I could go to 100 people and maybe 1 would have a clue what snooker was and even that person would only know it is a billiards type game not what it actually involved.

Read what it actually says.

Western sports that claim a strong following in China like snooker and basketball aren't pulling numbers close to this. Snooker finals have pulled around 110 million while a major basketball match between China and the US pulled 187 million. Boxing is also the top sport story on most Chinese websites.

They never had any amateurs till recently, just wasn't on their radar. This guy has a very amateur style, is old, and kinda on a downswing. He was unimpressive in every fight in last olympics, not sure he won any of them fair. But they're not all the same style, their heavier guys were sluggers iirc
