Meanwhile, Steve Kim talked to Bob Arum and it's said that the fight is looking forward this December 26 in Japan once again. So it seems like American money is once again beaten by the Japanese sponsors in trying to bring this undisputed fight to Inoue's home. But at least things are clearer now that this fight will happen. But it's not too late yet for ESPN and its partners to bid more money in order to bring this fight to America.
This venue's a bit of a snoozer, right? Hehe, sorry for being blunt. I think this whole thing should go down on neutral ground. I mean, we're talking about two champions here, it's an undisputed fight, so there shouldn't be any home court advantage. Bringing it over to the US would be a win for boxing – big money's up for grabs there. Not only will the arena be packed, but their PPV subscriptions would shoot through the roof. Let's hope they see the potential in that.
Yeah, we even don't know if we can watch the fight live or it someone from Japan will stream the fight live so that we can all watch it happen. Again, Inoue doesn't want to get out of his comfort zone and just choices to play in Japan. Wherein he had generated the buzz already, Mike Tyson is talking about him, there are boxing fans says that he can go as high as 135 lbs and fight Tank Davis.
So there's already a lot of hype on him. But if he keep on fighting in his hometown, then he will not make enough money though. Still the mecca of boxing is in the US and he could easily generation millions there, as he will be the A-side so he could dictate the terms and then there is PPV numbers or even the live gates. It will be enough for him to just go out and fight one time in the US and making a lot of money.
You can watch it to many streamers will cover the live so you better search the Inoue vs Tapales on facebook on fight date and to many streams will pop up. If you seek it on national television then for sure we can't see it since they want people to pay some subscription before they can watch the fight. But since there are so many streamer want to share the live for free then we can easily access it and watch thru their help.
To many people want Inoue to fight outside since they already notice that he don't want to go out like fight in US and many people call him a coward for that. Maybe if someone can handle and convince Inoue to fight in US maybe he will consider especially if they offer a lot of money on his camp. But also I believe that Inoue already earns a lot of money even if he fight inside of his country since we should consider that boxing is popular sport in japan so most provably he is not earning a chunk their and its just many people want to see him outside and fight with other more stronger opponents.
Yeah, that's what they call illegal streaming, but let's be real, we're all kind of benefiting from it. It's not exactly a hugely popular event, so there are probably only a few people who'd even think of reporting it. Plus, our streamers are pretty savvy – they've got backup plans in place, so streaming's not really a problem.
We don't have the exact fight date yet, but it's looking like this showdown is gonna go down in Japan. That just shows how special Inoue is. I mean, back when he was the challenger, he had the champ fighting in Japan. Now that he's the champ, it's a given.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this fight. It's shaping up to be a real interesting one. Some of our fellow Filipinos might be underestimating Tapales, but I'm hoping he can prove us all wrong with a big win.
