As of late, nearly every thread on the front page is about Floyd Mayweather for better or for worse and it's not even in reference to Pacquiao either....
For example people sh*t on the Cotto fight yet and said Pacquiao-Bradley was a better more interesting fight but the Mayweather-Cotto discussion thread has 4,500 replies and the Pacquiao-Bradley discussion thread has a mere 500 replies..
Googling mayweather and boxingscene gets 865k results
Googling pacquiao and boxingscene gets just over 1 mil.
Just doing each name by itself gets 34.3 mil for Pac and 23.4 for May.
Doesn't mean a lot as they are referred to with different names, but it would seem pacquiao is slightly more talked about in here and in general.
Pretty much impossible to talk about one without the other being brought up anyway.
Pac is talked about the most with troll posts from scared Floyd fanatics. Threads like should Raheem have fought Pac pointless threads like that.
The only real Floyd threads are again by fanatics trying to start propaganda type threads up, when Floyd isnt fighting. They try do the fighting for Floyd.
this forum is not an indication of what is happening in the boxing world. the only reason there are more threads about floyd is simply because he has fans who got more time to post in boxing forums. day and night, weekdays and weekends...floyd fanatics are always in abundance in this forum trying to feed everybody with their fanatical floyd topics.
heck, if i got no job and no life i can post here 24/7 too...my life would be a waste though if that happens:sad:
you guys are funny, Rios is talked about more then both em if you think about it.
Both Pacquaio and mayweather have their scandals which make big publicty and you cant talk about one with out mentioning the other so they fuel eachother with their scandals. Rios has no scandal yet people just talk about him personally for boxing and non issue he does not need a fuel source to get the public talking about him. hell even mayweather talked about rios already. LOL and Pacquaio has acted like he does not know who he is. LOL
RIOS>Mayweather/Pacquaio
NO gimmicks needed
Hey Gauze, why don't you just lift your skirt for Pacquiao and get over the fever. Pernell would have whipped that butt as will Floyd if Pacman can get up enough courage to fight him.
and why its seems like mayweather and pacquaio being talked about alot is cause they both have fights comming up. very near future is mayweather and to be honest you cant mention one without the other. That is just how boxing is, some people only care about pacquaio so they will enter Mayweather thread to talk s.hit and vice versa.
talking boxing on the internet became a joke. why beacuse of these two respected boxers fan group. Mayweather vs Pacquaio ruined any real conversation anyone can have on boxing. It doesnt even matter if the thread is not about either of them, Some How someone will try to say something slick like "at least *enter Blank*" and bam thread down hill it becomes a floyd vs manny thread.

This thread is only adding to it... and this is just a trap for fanboys to circle jerk each other.
Ill say this RIOS get talked about almost as much and he no where near their level So take that with a grain of salt if you will
i agree. rios is way overrated. OMG he beat anthony peterson and acosta lets put him in the top 10 p4p. yah he's entertaining to watch but let the dude fight someone that can punch with his non-defense. cant wait for this dude to lose. i'd probably pick kendall holt to beat him. lucky for rios theres absolutely nothing going on in the 135 pound division.
i love manny pacquiao and he can knock anyone out with a single punch. he could outfox pernell whitaker. he's sexier than sergio. he has excellent taste in fashion. pacquiao fever!!
Anytime Floyd opens his mouth to speak for an article and it's on ESPN, Boxingscene, etc. it is guaranteed to get plenty of feedback. On the ESPN messageboards any article on Floyd will hit over 5000+ posts within a day. Here on NSB they'll be near 100 pages of feedback if he decides to say something.
Look at all the threads on the 1st page of NSB right now that have his name in the title. The mods had to make a master thread just to slow things down. And while Pac does have a master thread for Bradley look at how it pales in comparison to the replies that the Floyd vs. Cotto thread has.
The only thing is that a lot of the attention Floyd gets is from fans and sports announcers that want to see him get his ass kicked. But attention is attention nonetheless.
Sorry, Pretty Boy 32 I only read the title of your thread not what you posted. I just realized I just repeated the majority of your post. But I do agree with you 100%.
