Comments Thread For: Zou Shiming Ring Return Draws 36.5 Million Viewers in China

I have no incentive or reason to believe that the stream number, legal or illegal, actually even got to 30m viewers.

why? do you have proof it didnt? it shouldn't be hard to keep track of how many people go to a website and click a button to watch a fight. how do you think they keep track of how many views a youtube video gets or how many visits a website gets.

you should be giving zou and top ranks and the chinese props for this achievement. it is great news.

How many illegal streams tried to broadcast Mayweather-Pacquiao? If you have a mechanism to effectively count illegal streams, you've got knowledge that could make you a millionaire.

im talking about counting the legal streams where people go to the website of the station and click. im sure they can count that and thats where they got 30million. this really is great news

So he got 2.7% of China's population to watch his fight.

About 1.2% of the United States population paid to watch Mayweather vs Pacquiao. Difference was the price tags of $100.

Amazing numbers.

Although wtf do they mean 6.5M watched on TV & 30M streamed it??? Was there some legal stream for this card?

[Deontaytheking]

Probably every tv in the country!

I'm over this. spin it however you want. Shiming is a 34-year old 112-pound fighter, who was already beat in his first title shot soundly.

With China's population being five times the size of the US's population, I simply hope you keep some context.

That's crazy

It had to be.

I'm guessing it's like watching a basketball game or football game on your iPad, laptop, or computer.

Of course there is a per capita angle to these or any numbers like this. Its still an impressive number in general & from a country thats still fairly new to pro boxing.

I'm super interested in how boxing is progressing these days to untapped & undertapped markets. Should be interesting to see how this India thing develops with Vijender Singh potentially being a player in the coming years.
