China the largely untapped market

China has a population of near 1.4b, yet Zou Shiming, the star that's supposed to open up the market to the world, could only get 6.5m people to tune in on TV.

Hope China learns the US experience in producing a Mayweather who sinks the US boxing market.

Read the title idiot it's 36.5 million people.

The super bowl pulled in 100 million world wide. Guess american football is dead a planet with 7 billion people only 100 million tuned in?

They make the most of what they've got over there.

China is a massive, untapped market and Macau makes some 10x the money Las Vegas does. If promoters had more balls and more vision, more big fights would take place there. Hundreds of billions of dollars to be made.

30m "via stream"; take that how you will (how they were able to count that is beyond me.

The Super Bowl pulled in almost 115m viewers in the US, according to Nielsen; the fact that you're foolish enough to think that, somehow, Nielsen Company (which only does business in the US anyway) would somehow get the viewer numbers for the ~20 international broadcasters who picked up the game is laughable.

1 in 3 people in the US watched the Super Bowl.
1 in 50 people in China(assuming the streaming numbers are right) tuned in to see their national hero.
