Please vote from the options above, Apart from the obvious (DLH) who is most popular boxer right now? as in house hold name, etc.

Jesus Christ. Why is this even debated upon? Pacquiao has fans all over the world from Milan to Sudan and has a 100-Million fanbase in the Philippines WHERE EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM FROM A TO Z. No one, not even DLH can compare.

If promoted and marketed the way Floyd/Oscar was, 2.5 mil would definitely be possible.

Let's be real, that WOULD NOT be possible. The most that would make is about the same number he made with hop, 1 mil.

floyd mayweather, jr. clearly.

Skils, name one other matchup that was promoted/marketed the way that Oscar/Floyd was.

Floyd isnt popular. Popular is when people actually like you. He's hated. He's hated to the point where people are actually paying to watch him so that they can witness his demise live! Once he gets his first loss, his train will be derailed. He will no longer have that "undefeated" marketing tool to carry him.

Infamous, infamous and famous go hand in hand. You don't have to be liked to be known and garner attention. Even you know that.

Definitions of popular on the Web:

regarded with great favor, approval, or affection especially by the general public.

Does that sound like Floyd to you?

I agree. Famous he is. Popular he is not.

I think you are being a tad bit to specific with the actual wording of the thread. If you want to go with the technical wording of the thread than Pac man would get my vote for sure, if you mean FAMOUS, I would say Floyd.

Skils, name one other matchup that was promoted/marketed the way that Oscar/Floyd was.

None other, however, who's marketing scheme was it that shot the fight from a regular mega fight to the biggest fight in the history of the sport?

Why would i take it any different than the way he worded the thread? He asked "who is the most POPULAR fighter in boxing right now" Not: famous, infamous, notorious, etc.
