Donaire is only like 2 some years younger than Pac...he needs to start moving up weighs in a hurry if he really plans on being a star.

I dont think you will see another fighter get the notoriety and media appeal like it is for Floyd and to a lessor degree Manny for a very long time , Manny rode in on Floyds back , you need that Hero Villain thing going on to capture the public imagination and transcend the sport , mister nice guy wont cut it no matter how good you are , the public are fickle and ejaculate on controversy hate and most things negative , positive things seem to not get media attention like the negative things .

I don't think Manny rode on Floyd's back at all. Remember ODLH cherry picked Manny not the other way around.

won't come close to that level or cross over appeal unless he moves all the way up to 140-147
sadly Casual Boxing Fans (the ones who buy PPV's and other stuff) usually don't care about weight classes lower then maybe 135-130, it always been like that though
Donaire and Gamboa should be SUPERSTARS...RIGHT NOW! and if they was in a division people cared about...THEY WOULD BE UP THEIR with Mayweather and Pacquiao or at least right underneath them as far as Drawing PowerLast edited by KnockUTheFukOut; 09-26-2011, 06:54 PM.

Don't get me wrong I love Donaire, he is just running out of time fast...his inactivity due to the Top Rank contract dispute hasn't helped either.

I see victor ortiz being the next big star. I think the point of the floyd fight was to get his name out there win or lose, he'll be like oscar (might lose all his big fights but still a star). I feel most fighters today are very lazy in marketing themselves (chad dawson) you see them on fighnight/press conferences. Compare that to floyd who is on most social networks or mingles with celebs at events.
