Its on at our time in the states. Forcing china to watch a fight on a sunday morning so they can get us money.

If its being held in china then it should be for china. Just my opinion

Well get ready because the media still feeds into this hype...Dan Rafeal, Skip Bayles and Stephen A Smith are already painting Rios as a tough fighter. Truth is, he's a smaller, slower, no plaster (less power) version of Margarito.

Rios will give Pac a tougher fight than Canelo gave Floyd. Even slow an sluggish Cotto gave Floyd a tougher fight than Canelo. Margarito gave Pacman a tough fight, only difference is Pacman didn't wilt under the pressure of Marg he fought through the pain and pushed Margo back, you have to be able to dig deep against a guy like Margo.

Rios is a tough fighter, even Bernard Hopkins said so, why is it so hard to see it? and B hop is a golden boy guy.

You say smaller as if Rios is smaller than Pac, stop twisting it, this is what you guys do you will say oh why is pac fighting a lightweight, hoping people will believe he is really fighting a light weight when Rios is a huge 180 pounder at 5 foot 9 who was draining himself to make that weight.

Does anyone else remember Arum's estimated figures for potential Chinese PPVs. They were based on 50% of computer/smartphone/tablet owners in the country buying the PPV. The US has hundreds of millions of people and 2 million PPV buys is an epic success, but Arum's estimates were that 50% of Chinese consumers will buy a PPV? They were absurdly optimistic.

True, but I have to admit I figured with the support of the chinese government, this fight would sell 10-20 mil ppv's easy. Zou is a national hero and Bob, even though he is a lying, greedy, disgraceful piece of ****, does know how to market a fight as well as anyone ever.

We'll never know the real #'s anyway. Arum never reveals the money generated, because then he couldn't lie about the PPV buys. He hasn't released a revenue number since Margarito and Pacquiao.

They're all speculations. We'll never know what's real and what's deception. There's no real evidence.

Arum is the opposite of Schaefer. The former puts out conservative estimates while Schaefer inflates the numbers. Who would forget Schaefer predicting 2M plus in the Mosley/May fight. We never heard of him again about it after the fight. We haven't heard him talking about the May/Canelo PPV outcome other than projections. No real, concrete proof. Arum is a pro and the other is an amateur. They have different motivations. The veteran fakes the numbers to screw his creditors and billers, while the amateur gets in trouble because he exaggerates the earnings.
