Torch Finally Passed from DLH to Pacquiao!!!

[hammerhiem]

SRL, ALi & DLH was popular in the Philippines but their fights never cleaned up the streets like a Pac fight does all the time. See what I'm saying???

I see you don't understand American culture.

America is infinately harder to be as popular as SRL, Ali and DLH cmpaired to the Phillipeans.

How many genuine world class athlete are there in teh phillipeans? 4, 5? the US has literally thousands of world class athletes, Pac would be no more popular than Hopkins or Nate Campbell.

[Da Hammer]

Pac will never be the draw DLH is because he's not american and because at best he only has 2 years left before he retires (from what Pac has sais). So enjoy Pac for what he is and for how much longer he fights!

[El Jesus]

I wasn't claiming Pac is more Popular than SRL or DLH. I'm just saying if Pac is American He'll be more popular than them.

No, he wouldnt be, im not going to argue this anymore. I already explained why those guys rose like they did, and pac would have a hard time cracking that popularity as a featherweight.

we need to kill the notion that one person has to carry this mythical torch....


the sport, as a whole, has to carry itself....and that's thru great matchmaking and higher media visibility...achieving those two components is NOT hard to do

I'm here in America & I know what I'm talking moron. Pac is way more Popular than Bhop. Where have you been?? Campbell doesn't even near Pac popularity. Pac makes 20X more than what Campbell makes in a fight.

At the end of Pac's Boxing Reign I'm sure Pac will be richer than SRL. The only one he can't top is DLH's Dollar.

I have no dissagreement with that. but who really commands the money after dlh?

no one commands the money after dlh...

c'mon mang, pac only got at 50/50 purse split w/ hatton...

pbf got a bigger split than pac against hatton.

Im in the U.S. too and Pacquiao's fights sell out.. There is a reason Pacquiao makes more money per fight than Bhop or campbell. Its cuz he is more popular. Yeah Pacquiao is so unpopular that the Celtics, Mark Walberg, Christian Bale, Mickey Rourke, Eva Longoria, reggie miller and other hollywood stars and athletes watch and root for him. That guy don't know ****.

Are you sure?? From what I heard Hatton has the sole take of the UK PPV Money. For this Fight Pac has half of the UK money too. PBF never have that.

from what i know pac has a bigger cut than floyd did when he fought pbf.

the original offer to pac that he turned down had a bigger cut than what pbf got i think. that's during the negotiations i was anti-pac and just wanted him to sign already.

i don't know if pac will make more money than pbf did in his fight (we don't know how much the fight will make or sell) but from my understanding pac is getting a bigger cut against hatton than pbf got for his hatton fight.
