Is this true ?
World Boxing News - Arum to cash in on Chinese PPV for Pacquiao v Rios

Arum's Top Rank Inc. is doing an unprecedented move in selling the fight to the Chinese market through live viewing on tablets and smartphones.

Arum plans to charge a subscription of $5 a pop and owing to China's enormous population (1.34 billion), the 81-year-old promoter is upbeat of cashing in heavily on this money-making scheme.

"You do the math," said Arum.

China has surpassed the US as the leading smartphone market this year with an estimated 250 million active accounts.

When word came out earlier this week about ESPN laying off up to 400 employees, we crossed our fingers hoping this wouldn’t affect anyone in boxing. Unfortunately, it turns out not to be the case. ESPN Director of Programming Doug Loughrey, the man who ran the network’s “Friday Night Fights” boxing program, is one of those let go. Not good for ESPN boxing.

The June 8 undercard on the event headlined by World Boxing Council (WBC) light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (31-2-0, 17 KOs) defending against Adonis “Superman” Stevenson (20-1-0, 17 KOs) at the historic Bell Centre in Montreal is now pretty much complete.

As previously noted, former two-time world champion Yuriorkis “El Ciclon” Gamboa (22-0-0, 16 KOs) will be showcased in the co-feature against Darley Perez (28-0-0, 19 KOs), as Gamboa makes a foray into the lightweight division. Other bouts include light heavyweight Eleider “Storm” Alvarez, middleweight KO artist David Lemieux, unbeaten heavyweight Didier “Big Daddy” Bence, former world amateur champion Artur Beterbiev and 2008 Puerto Rico Olympian Jose “Sniper” Pedraza.

Fast-rising light heavyweight Eleider “Storm” Alvarez (12-0-0, 8 KOs) already ranked #4 by the World Boxing Association (WBA) and #7 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO) confronts a seasoned veteran in American opponent Allan Green (32-4-0, 22 KOs), who participated in the famous international Super Six tournament.

Power-punching middleweight David Lemieux (28-2-1, 27 KOs) faces Polish fighter Robert Swierzbinski (11-1-0, 3 KOs).

In a clash of unbeaten heavyweights, Didier “Big Daddy” Bence (8-0-0, 2 KOs) and Eric Barrack (7-0-0, 6 KOs) meet in a classic confrontation between a brawler (Barrack) and boxing stylist (Bence).

Local favorites Sébastien Bouchard (6-0-0, 2KO) and Mascouche Francesco Cotroni (7-1-0, 4 KOs) meet in a jr middleweight bout.

GYM predicts a great career for former world amateur champion Artur Beterbiev, who will make his professional debut against California invader Christian Cruz (12-14-1, 10 KOs).

Finally, another rising star in professional boxing, 2008 Puerto Rico Olympian Jose “Sniper” Pedraza (12-0-0, 8 KOs), will also be fighting against an opponent to be announced shortly.

The event is part of that weekend’s Canada Formula One Grand Prix activities.

fuuuuuck...it's been on 15 years. wouldn't shock me if they cancel it now with all of the other deals they got going on.

and shyt, if Pacquiao/Rios is $5 in China: $5 x billions of people = money regardless :heh:
