Nope I said you give him to much credit and the reason was either you thought it made you look smart or that he was white. If Ishida is considered a good win something is wrong, you aren't dumb you know that chin hasn't been checked to see real fans buy into hype has been troubling.

So a Chinese guy fighting in China is getting shit because HBO decided to show the card?
You couldn't make it up.....

Zou is having to work and gets hit way too much in what should be cake walk showcases right now. Arum is cashing big checks but he better enjoy this traveling circus while he can, and buy Shimming a helmet.

It's like an old drunk hilly billy on a trailer step.
His opinion is boxing is less than nothing.
You say tomato,

They're not paying the Chinese guy big money for no reason. Promoters aren't known for overpaying boxers, are they? He's being paid the market rate for what he provides. And what he provides is a way to make huge revenue from new sources (boxing) for Chinese TV and media companies and huge revenue from existing sources (gambling) for Chinese casinos. Some Puerto Rican in Philly doesn't have any of those selling points which is why his market rate for his second fight is a couple of thousand dollars. It's just his tough fucking luck for not being born Chinese and Olympic champion level at boxing.

Its understandable but in the bigger picture, one star on Chinese tv will not do well for Hbo and its future if this is Arums brain child. The future of boxing and talent ain't coming from China. I didn't even realize the card was being televised Stateside, and 4pm same day tape can't do big ratings.
I thought Onetime got bannedHe's such a useless twat.

Arum did the first Zou show international TV broadcast as a Top Rank production. He flew George Foreman and another name or two in to do commentary and basically gave it to HBO for free just so they'd show it, and even then they only showed it on HBO2. He did that to keep them on board for when he did his first Manny PPV from Macau -- I'm guessing they get these other shows for buttons too, he just wants HBO to show his Manny PPVs.
In the meantime he's doing deals in China. He's got some deal going where Chinese peeps can watch the Manny card on their phones or laptops for five dollars amongst others. The casinos in Macau did huge business with the Zou fights.
Arum is now claiming that Floyd could fight Manny there next and his earnings would dwarf the Canelo earnings. That remains to be seen but Macau and possibly Singapore are going to become players in the fight business at some point.
