Some said promoter Bob Arum was taking an immense risk, financially and from a publicity perspective, by bringing Manny Pacquiao's Nov. 23 fight against Brandon Rios to Macau. Certain schools of thought said the pay-per-view would tank and the U.S. press wouldn't hype the bout as much because it would be an "out of sight, out of mind" scenario. But Arum pronounced the event and the gamble (if it could be called that) a success as we talked about the pay-per-view buy numbers on Wednesday at a news conference to hype Arum's Saturday card in Atlantic City.
