    There's a second wave of virus coming everywhere, Mark. When more things reopen, the numbers will go up. Doesn't matter where.

    Yes, Mark. Boxing is shown all over the world. It's not on PPV all over the world.

    If you have to watch something on PPV in your country, it doesn't necessarily mean it is on PPV everywhere else.

    Westen Culture is big in Asia so i think they will be aware of who they are

    PPV is a good point however, as that is a big part of the income and when the fights in a different timezone its going to affect the American audience

    Should have the fight in Great Britain. Last two have been in US on Wilder’s terms.

    Would like to watch the fight at a reasonable time, if it is 4am again, no chance I will be watching it.

    Hopefully Wilder comes to his senses, and we get the big Great British fight everyone has been wanting to see.

    If it's in China, it won't be on at 4 a.m. More like 4 p.m. in the UK.

    Yeah I know that. Was just referring to my annoyance at having to watch it twice at 4am.

    How would Chinese peope see anything about Wilder and Fury, their news networks? I don`t think Fury or Wilder would have made headlines in Chinese newspapers.

    I don`t think British fans will be inrested in this bout, Wilder really known to a lot of sports fans in Britain before he got battered by Fury a lot of Brits would have got their first introduction to Wilder when he lost to Fury, his rep is in tatters here in the UK just like AJ`s was on his debut in America.

    They know about them the same way you do, Mark.

    Boxing is very popular in China. Zou Shiming's pro debut in China drew 300 million viewers in China, alone.

    That's how Bob Arum broke into the market there.

    I do agree with that to a point, but with Fury having the belts now, and for once having a very exciting to watch fight behind him. I think British fans might be keen to watch Fury in the flesh, especially when his next fight will be against Joshua who is still wildly popular in Great Britain.

    The first fight would have been more of an introduction if anything

    mark hear’s the thing, if china got to stage the fight and this may shock you but maybe just maybe China would promote the fight to there people which in turn will make wilder and fury bigger names in China and then make it an anticipated event over there.

    they feed there people non stop with propaganda so I’m pretty sure they could promote a heavy weight world title fight and make the Chinese population interested.

    Pretty fair to say that Fury is more popular than Joshua at the moment in the UK. And yeah of course people want to see him in the flesh. I can't be mithered to get up early again if they were to fight again in Yankee land. So yeah, China works for me.
