    In all honesty, Manny Pacquiao is the face of boxing.

    Currently, hands down Manny is bringing boxing back into the mainstream. Today I saw high school kids, regular middle aged folk, and even old ass ladies at the mall all talking about "the little Asian guy" (Pacquiao) knocking the hell out of Hatton (not to mention the attention this has been getting from the media). Last time I have seen so many people talking about a fight was when Lewis fought Tyson. Screw the other guys, Pacquiao is the face of boxing now.

      Duh. If Manny sticks to fighters his own size he could become the next Ali/Tyson. I looks liek he might be biting off more than he could even be expected to chew at WW, however.

        He hasn't passed Mayweather or DLH in terms of popularity yet. It doesn't just happen overnight...

          Thats how its going down right now.

          People want to see more of Manny.

          Both of my sons they want to box more and watch more boxing.


          Guess which fighter they watched to express to me anything about boxing?

          Manny Pacquiao.

          Usually, they whine and moan about having to watch boxing or even do a little workout.

          Saturday night they became little fans of the sport and want to see him again.

            Thats a huge part of what makes him so great. His willingness, without excuses to take on a challenge.

              I have never, ever seen old ass ladies talking about Mayweather.

                In this case, it did. I havent seen an NBA player so giddy about not wanting to miss the fight that the interviewer tells him, "Ok, go watch the fight" on live TV in a PLAY OFF GAME.

                Manny Pacquiao is the hot ticket in boxing right now. EVERYONE is talking about him, all sorts of media outlets. Casual fans, MMA fans, etc.

                  I think the opposite, the higher he's went the easier it's getting for him

                  and yes, Pac is the face of boxing.
