Yao vs. Yi
November 9, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
This post has nothing to do with passion, careers, or the tour we’ve just completed. Rather, its about basketball in China.
Tonight, Yao Ming takes the floor against Yi Jianlian. The game is expected to draw 200 million viewers in China. For a comparison, last weeks Patriots vs. Colts game drew 34 million. The 2006 Super Bowl drew 93 million viewers. That’s just crazy.
P.S.- The game is not televised here in the United States.

That’s a lot of TV sets… I was not aware. They must be passionate about Yi vs. Yao. I wonder who the major TV sponsor is going to be. Double the Super Bowl? Then that would be about $6 million for a 30 second spot? Go Daddy probably won’t even be able to afford that price….
