    Unless he is sharing it with Eastside posters, why would I give a monkeys toss?

    I can already see Arum refusing to have the network show the officla #s and then lying as usual. This sh*t is gonna do 500K buys.

    It doesn't matter, the network is not taking a hit either way, it's all on Arum. It's not like Floyd Guerrero that could hurt the network financially and mean less boxing on TV.

    Besides, Arum looks ahead, which is probably why he's been the most successful promoter over time. China is a massive opportunity, Macau went from parity with Vegas to 7x the gambling revenue in like 5 years.

    All good. But for now...he'll hide the PPV #'s (which won't crack a mil) and claim some BS.

    I don't think anyone expects 1m. 600m would probably be a success. It'll be offset a bit on taxes, and more importantly, it's the first big time move to opening the Chinese market to boxing, worst case a "loss leader".

    It's not gonna be a PPV in China, not yet. Arum said it'll take time to get all the carriers on the same page. They probably get a massive site fee, since Macau is flush with cash. And try to build up some interest in China for future PPVs

    No he couldn't have. That offer was for him to split with TR, which amounts to a 10% raise over what he made JMM or Bradley. Pac is not the brightest bulb, but even he's not that dumb to take that deal for a fight of that scale
