Macau is China's Vegas and are now making moves to take the playas away from Vegas and boxing is the way they see to do it. So this kid is going to be incredibly carefully handled. He may not fight a live body for some time.

A decade or two from now we might be watching the big fights from Macau.
I'd love to see China get more involved in Pro boxing think of all the revenue that could be generated from boxing alone, and it would give western countries a foot in the door to market our other products. I see it as a big opportunity.
