    Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm so did I :confused::rolleyes::meparto:

    Seriously though, I would've thought he was pulling far higher, isn't Japan a hotbed for the smaller weights?

    If the dub is good, I'll watch the dub. Can you rec the dub, or should I go sub?

    Just Googled. She looks toned and muscular. Wouldn't describe her as thicc.

    Probably a niche sport, but the few fans that follow the sport are probably super passionate.

    Smaller weights make garbage money.

    Think Inoue got 300K for Nonito II.

    Roman got 500K for Estrada III while Estrada earned 750K as the champ.

    It's more fair to them than the US, but they strongly prefer heavier weights. The Butler fight is the first time Inoue has pulled as much of an in-person audience as Murata vs GGG.

    Mitsuro Tajima, an obese 5'10 half-Japanese half-Brazilian HW who is 3-0 vs club fighters sells out 5k stadiums already and gets hundreds of thousands to millions of views on his YT videos.

    To be fair though, Japan doesn't do 70 USD PPV. Crawford did 14,600 live attendance and Inoue sold out his stadium at 15,000.

    I was getting at Floyd feinting at the thought of a small Japanese child making $300m

    I mean you could take it the other way also, feinting at him only making $2m which is just as viable.

    Neither would I but most climbers are toned and thin, being thicc in the usual sense wouldn't really cross over well to elite level sports climbing and Miho is thicker than most female climbers.
