    1 in 3 people in the US watched the Super Bowl.
    1 in 50 people in China(assuming the streaming numbers are right) tuned in to see their national hero.

    gtfoh
    Shut up **** head who gives a shot of it was streamed? How can you turn huge numbers of 36.5 million into a bad thing? This wasn't even a big event and it did a quarter of the super bowl numbers. That's a success any way you slice it, go watch the ****ty super bowl then yank whilst the rest of the world enjoys boxing and **** off a boxing website also

      I'm not bashing or defending anyone....

      But you are trying to compare a super-duper-ultra hyped mega-event rating, to a boxing event?

      that is not fair, plus you have to take into consideration the average rating for a good show there to really compare it....you are comparing two event from differents countries, maybe the average there is 50M(don't know)

        That's pretty good numbers. Where did the 30+ stream come from though?

          why would you bash them for having an additional 30million viewers via stream? lots of people in the us watch via illegal streams all the time. this was a legal stream.

          i thought you would be happy a boxing event had over 36milion viewers

            i wish somebody would do the same for India.

            India is another huge untapped market.

            instead of raping women, they cold be teaching the men to box.

            both huge untapped market for boxing.

              I don't care what the population is... there about 400 million people here in the U.S., right?

              How many viewers did Andre CoWard draw to his BET blockbuster fight?

                Simply giving folks context, so they don't fall for the bull**** spin.

                  I know that it's not fair, but I'm using the comparison to provide context to the discussion.

                  To hear Top Rank/Steve Kim/rest of the shill machine tell it, Zou Shiming is the gateway to seeing the entire boxing world shift to China (Bob Arum was the one trying to hype $5 PPVs in China killing anything ever sold in the US).

                  That is simply not the case; for all the hype that's been put behind Shiming and Top Rank's China incursion, the man only put 12k people in the building and coverted eyeballs to his fight at a rate that actually wasn't that awe-inspiring when put in context.

                  Shiming is building something in China; whether, at 34, he'll be able to deliver in time is in deep doubt. Shiming is not going to replace Pacquiao as the cash cow, regardless of how the press releases are spun.

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