I keep seeing websites stating that it's over with BTC mining, now it's more profitable to mine BCH over BTC and all that FUD. Is no one taking into account the fees miners get from transactions? Bitcoin averages 12k transactions per hour white BCH barely reaches an average of 800 transactions / hour. The revenue from transactions fee is huge for BTC atm.

Also, if a large pool, or more, were to switch over to mine the BCH blockchain, the difficulty would adjust in such a way that it would make it very unprofitable to mine it over BTC blockchain.

Why do people keep claiming that is more profitable to mine BCH?

This is, for me, why it's such an obviously cynical pump by the people behind BCC/BCH. At current transaction rates and volumes, BCC mining only makes good money on new blocks. Guess who controls > 90% of BCC mining? The originators of the fork.

Pumping the price short term is easy but getting BCC tx volumes up to BTC levels requires massive adoption by everyone in the space (exchanges, end users, miners etc etc). Can't see that level of co-ordination happening and long before it did, difficulty would have shot up (so miners who switched after this huge pump don't gain anything more than what they would have had sticking with BTC).
