95% of Floyd Mayweather fans have been there since his olympic days. And no matter who Floyd Mayweather faces his opponents "fans" all say the same stuff over and over. Floyd hasnt seen a fighter like this, he hasnt been faced with a hard hitter, he hasnt seen speed like this. Then when Floyd wins its an excuse and its on the next opponent & that opponents furious fans. Ricky hatton was a perfect example of this. FLoyd fans were verbally attacked after Ricky the hitman Hatton beat collazo at 147 & stopped castilo with a body shot. They all said "Hatton beat castilo faster, floyd couldnt do that". Floyd ko Hatton and the excuses spilled out of their asses like runny shit.
Pacquiao's fan base grew after he stopped a drained Oscar. Pacquiao wasnt fighter of the decade before then. Where was manny fans 3 years ago when he was getting his ass kicked my erick & marquez?
Go to youtube and watch some of mannys old fights. Click on the oldest comments. THere is no fighter of the decade talk. There is no FLoyd talk. Look at the current comments. There all over his nuts!
Used to stay in Michigan so everybody always talked about him..but I been a fan since the Genaro Hernandez fight and became a huge fan in 2005 after the Gatti fight..being a African American man that Judah fight was that deal
also explain why Manny's PPV with Morales did more numbers than Floyds fights with Gatti, Baldomir and Judah, If his fans aren't loyal and buying his fights....esp considering he had just lost to Morales. When Floyd loses, he will be fighting on HBO World Championship Boxing as most people just tune in to see him lose.
Trying to use PPV numbers to argue in favor of Pac is suicidal. It could easily be argued that many of those people were buying the fight to see Morales. Also, how many PPV did Pac do against Oscar compared to Floyd? How many did Pac do against Hatton compared to Floyd? How many did Pac do with Marquez compared to Floyd? When Floyd beats Pac's ass, he won't be fighting on WCB. He will retire!
4 longshot HOFers + carlos baldomir and ricky hatton at 147 = G.O.A.T.
Pac has fought exactly one outstanding fighter in his prime -- Marquez. Pac could not have beaten any of those "longshot HOFers" as you put it if he had fought them at the time and under the conditions that Mayweather fought them. Nor could he have beaten Baldomir. If you don't believe that, ask Roach why he refused to fight the old, washed-up Mosley. If I remember correctly, his response was that Mosley was "too good."
Idiot!:chairshot
bullshit.
most floyd fans came around after delahoya in 2007.
most pacquiao fans came around after barrera in 2003 if not ledwaba in 2001.
You are full of shit. I have been a Floyd fan since he beat Genaro Hernandez and won te 130 pound title. That was long before 2007. I am sure that most of his other fans were fans of his long before Oscar also. I doubt if any of Pac's "fans" on this site ever heard of Pac in 2001. Do what the TS said and go back and look at Pac's old fights and look at the comments. How many can you find about the Ledwaba fight in 2001?
well this should be common sense to most people,my point is neither were stars until dela hoya they had a solid fan base an that's it.
they were stars. boxing stars.
just not superstars.

Fail from the very first sentence. Stopped reading right there.
the WWF ones ended up in boxingscene
you sure about that?
remember that flomo who was horus' right hand man in "the mayweather coalition"?
people found him on facebook and he was gay and had britney spears as his profile pic.
you think he learned about floyd watching WWE or dancing with the stars?
in the u.s. maybe.
pacquiao was a huge star in philippines since the 1st barrera fight.
well this should be common sense to most people,my point is neither were stars until dela hoya they had a solid fan base an that's it.
More like Arum :nonono:.
When you get offered what he got offered, You can't say no.
true.
but still i wanted him to take a tuneup or two to see where he's at and then decide from there.
he lost to a big 147 guy and a blown up 135 guy.
doesn't make sense to move up to 154.
Cotto by tko in the 8.
The odds went down though, so Yuri is less of an underdog..
But Cotto is superman. He will salsa his way to victory!
i think yuri takes it by decision. maybe tko if cotto gets cut or puffs up.

We were right there with him....when he wasn't even cracking 300,000 PPV buys because that was just the filipino community buying his fights.....we still supported and watched him fight becuase he was a great "1 dimensional fighter"......Erik Morales and JMM were not "1 dimensional" fighters....they were great technical and tactical fighters....and Manny fighting the 3 amigos was the BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO MANNY....becuase it showed Freddy that if Manny was to be great....he had to evolve.....
And of course there wasn't any fighter of the decade talk back then....NOBODY THOUGHT he would be who he is today....
Now Pactards....that's a different story all together....:sad:
Cotto is number one with the fans.
:boxing:
man , i'm upset at cotto right now.
he's taking a dumb fight in yuri.
he should have taken a tuneup or two.
yuri is too big. cotto is ending his career.
pac's & floyd's fan base was just die hard boxing fans until they both faced dlh an then that's when they became known to casual fans, basically both were very known an respected fighters but not with a huge following until dlh.
floyd was always recognized by diehard boxing fans as the next 1 p4p but most people didn't think he'd be popular maybe someone similar to a b-hop, an pac just continually beat people he wasn't supposed to an fought his way to the top.
in the u.s. maybe.
pacquiao was a huge star in philippines since the 1st barrera fight.
