ABUJA Cheap OFF WHITE x Nike Air Presto , March 16 (Xinhua) -- Nigeria's football authorities on Monday denied that they will sack coach of the under-17 team Emmanuel Amuneke after he led the team to a fourth place at a Confederation of African Football-sponsored tourney held recently in Niger.

Speculation had run rife in the West African country that Amuneke would be replaced, but the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) said it was baseless and untrue.

Ademola Olajire, spokesman of the NFF, told reporters in the Nigerian capital Abuja that, on the contrary, the football authorities were solidly behind coach Amuneke.

""The tournament was not a do or die affair. At least Cheap Nike Presto Just Do It , the team was able to get Nigerians the World Cup ticket and this is commendable,"" the official said, referring to the team's performance at the CAF U17 championship.

He added the NFF has passed a vote of confidence on the coach, whose team will represent Nigeria at the FIFA U17 World Cup to be hosted by Chile later in the year.

Already the biggest name in boxing that the rest of the world has never heard of Cheap Nike Air Presto Womens , China's Zou Shiming on Sunday could transform himself into the wild card that makes or breaks the richest event in sports history: a bout worth $1 billion.

Yup, you read it right－one billion Yankee greenbacks.

For that scenario to become reality, Zou (5-0, 1 KO) first has to defeat Thailand's No 1-ranked Kwanpichit Onesongchaigym (27-0-2, 12 KOs) in their International Boxing Federation flyweight title eliminator, with the winner guaranteed a shot at world champion Amnat Ruenroeng in 2015.

If Zou beats Onesongchaigym and World Boxing Organization welterweight champ Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2 Cheap Nike Air Presto White , 38 KOs) makes a successful defense against undefeated Chris Algieri (20-0, 8 KOs) in Sunday's main event at Cotai Arena in Macao, the stars will align for a long-awaited showdown between Pacquiao and unbeaten World Boxing Council champ Floyd Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs) for the unified welterweight crown.

At this point it is all conjecture, but Zou's enormous popularity in China is the key to the mint. In terms of TV popularity the double Olympic gold medalist from Zunyi, Guizhou province Cheap Nike Air Presto Ultra Uncaged , is the hottest property in the sport, with his fights drawing an average audience of about 350 million viewers nationwide.

As first reported by Britain's Daily Mail earlier this week, the linchpin of the projected billion-dollar bout between Pacquiao and Mayweather is a plan by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum to make that fight－with Zou's title shot as the featured prelim－the first pay-per-view event televised in China ... at a substantially lower cost than for the rest of the planet.

"Zou is the driving force for taking pay-per-view to China; he's a national hero and hundreds of millions of his countrymen tune in every time he's on TV," Arum said earlier this year.

"Combine Zou's massive appeal with the drawing power of Pacquiao-Mayweather, and you're looking at numbers nobody ever dreamed possible. At $5 a buy, even if only 10 percent of the Chinese population signed up Cheap Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit , that's around $650 million. It's staggering."

The Chinese PPV would most likely be delivered online or via smart phones. Arum could also bank on another $300 million from pay-per-view in North America, based on an average buy of about $95.

With worldwide PPV accounting for $950 million and additional revenue generated by the site fee in Macao or Las Vegas, live gate sponsorships and merchandising, the $1 billion plateau suddenly becomes very reachable.

The combatants, of course, would get a generous slice of that enormous pie. Even if Pacquiao acceded to Mayweather's oft-voiced demand for a 60-40 split of their purse Cheap Nike Air Presto Ultra BR , the Philippines congressman could expect to walk away with upwards of $120 million to the American's $140-$150 million. As for Zou, $20-30 million would not be out of the question.

None of it will happen if either Zou or Pacquiao comes up short on Sunday. There's big pressure on both men to not just win, but win big－and that's a much taller task for Zou, who will be fighting his first 12-rounder against a dangerous and far more experienced foe in Onesongchaigym. Both men are 33, but the unbeaten Thai has logged 165 pro rounds to Zou's 33.

"I started my professional career after the age of 30, a decision I am proud of and still feel lucky about Cheap Nike Air Presto SE Woven ," Zou said at a Shanghai media conference in October. "Right now I am just learning about professional boxing and the glories that are available ... and I want to inspire the new generation of boxers in China.

"In the past, I only wanted to be a champion because I knew that a runner-up is quickly forgotten by the world. Now I know that even a champion fades away with time, so I must make the most of my opportunity. I want to enjoy boxing as long as I can."

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, who also oversees Pacquiao's corner, has honed Zou to peak condition for what is shaping up as the biggest fight of his young career.

"Zou's punching speed and strength were already exceeding my expectations in the first week of training camp and he's only gotten stronger and faster since," said Roach.

"He's sitting down on his punches more Cheap Nike Air Presto Safari , moving in and out of the pocket quicker and finding his natural punching rhythm. I'm looking for his best performance yet."
