why do most British support Pacquaio over Mayweather?

Are you bloody crazy, guys? Me an all my chaps love Manny! He's the man, bruv!

Pacquiao's more liked over here.

PB32 speaks for all limeys. he hates pac

Mayweather is more renown and supported in the UK. The thread starter didn't do his homework. Hamed was massive because Brits loved his brash conceited personality, it was a way to live vicariously through them because most brits are reserved and proper. Haters are fans. Do try to keep up. Cvnt maggot. People wanted to see Hammed get stuffed.

Hamed had more haters than fans, STFU until you know what you're talking about. Hamed was massive because Brits loved his brash conceited personality, it was a way to live vicariously through them because most brits are reserved and proper. Haters are fans. Do try to keep up. Cvnt maggot.

lol wut? most brits i know love and support mayweather. Brits like the flashy, brash, contrarian personality because they would like to live that way in fantasy but are the complete opposite in real life, while at the same time railing against all things american. just look at your avi TS, brits loved hamed and his flashy persona for the same reason.

i understand why Pacman has a large Mexican fanbase..its because his aggressive and exciting fighting style is similiar to Mexican boxing but why the British? lol wut? most brits i know love and support mayweather.

The ones that don't is because he's an arrogant American.

Mayweather has a huge UK following. This was back in 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1nnFd-OG60

I can only speak for people i know, but a lot of lads i know who are Mayweather fans don't actually watch anyone else bar Mayweather. The ones i know who watch boxing regulary tend to appreciate both fighters.

Ive heard Mayweather was more popular in the UK than Pacquiao but I may be wrong. He is because he appears on SKYSPORTS on a regular basis. They practically use to follow him around over here.

Most people that I know are more in favour of Mayweather than Pacquiao, most know who Mayweather is and am talking about people from London not up north.

dA fUQ? Get better sources. Mayweather's been the Boss since annihilating Hatton. British people respect skill and achievement. If Manny has a following, that's why.

If you look at the British boxing forums (old ESB, CHB) there seems to be a more favorable view of Mayweather than Pacquiao. Nothing like you see on here though. I'm sure there are plenty of fans of both in the UK.

i understand why Pacman has a large Mexican fanbase..its because his aggressive and exciting fighting style is similiar to Mexican boxing but why the British?because people generally dont support cherry picking in boxing even though the brits loved Calzaghe so go figure

Because we don't like arrogant, loud, brash people.

bullsh%t, they are both equally as popular for knocking out ricky. any casual guy who knows floyd knows pac and vice versa. brits dont really support pac or floyd they support their own ie. froch, hatton Not so in my case, my friends that don't follow boxing know who Mayweather is but most haven't got a clue who Pacquiao is.
