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

2501,

JUst a question: If Floyd was so universally hated and disrespected, how did he get on the p4p list for ten consecutive years...and at #1 for three years?

Doesn't make sense.

Simple, people don't deny his talent. They do however deny his willingness to continuously challenge himself and fight the best out there.

Question for you, how did Manny come this far & get this big in 6 years?

[tunayflip]

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

Manny won belts in 6 different divisions that not overnight and DLH didn't deserve his popularity cuz i never won any of his big fights none of them

[JHAVIS]

so whats the excuse for the other sites I post on? saddo, *********, even max?

Samething, we all know most people on every site hate on Floyd. Most people who hate on any boxer doesn't appreciate the sport.How can you hate on a guy who puts his life on the line to entertain you? Become a fan of the sport and not personalities.

Manny Pacquiao is something in Boxing we only see come once a generation. He's captured the admiration, respect, fanfare, and overall appeal to the casual Boxing fan, which in the end matters the most.

Pacquiao is the type of star the sport needs to gain more exposure across the board. In comparison to Floyd, Manny is making his mainstream appeal happen based on what he does in the ring, not by trying to become a persona that isn't genuinely his own to sell tickets. Pacquiao vs Hatton is looking to be reaching over the 1 Million PPV buys which technically is more than what Hatton vs Floyd made...and this was without the theatrics from either fighter (unless you include Floyd Sr of course).

But there is no doubt that right now Manny Pacquiao is THE face of Boxing.

H It doesn't just happen overnight...

Actually, it did.

[sycomantz]

hee's going to be the beaten face of boxing.

PBF is going to wear JMM and MP out. their careers will go down the drain after fighting PBF

[tunayflip]

Actually, all I've been hearing is "we want Manny vs Floyd". So the the linkge will benefit both of them.


Given the PPV history, manny is the less commercial fighter. No shame in that. But Manny needs 9and wants) Floyd to promote his fights.

The reality is that when Manny doesn't fight a "name", he doesn't sell. He needs an "A" side/

Look it up before you refute.

thats ******ed the reason why all those supposed "A" side/ fighters sold so well was because they were fighting Manny

if Floyd doesn't need an "A" fighter to sell his fights then y is he fightin Marquez for his first fight in over a year instead of a tune up fight?

[nujabes77]

Bro. I'm from the States, and I don't agree with that. Mayweather tries to sell himself like a whore on the streets, and does anything to get his face in the mix (hence him using Manny's fame to announce a comeback). Look at the websites, sports networks, radio, and people on the streets. Manny Pacquiao has captivated the global audience. The PPV buys from this fight will show you that Manny sells more than Mayweather IN America even though his English isn't the best, and he doesn't ********** himself on Jay Leno. Oh yeah did I forget to mention that we are in a recession.

good point, he thought he was gonna steal the show...

[Pullcounter]

pac is more popular now than floyd.

these forums were still ****ed up today because of saturday's fight.

[QUISQUEYA]

Sigh, Take manny's **** out of your throat for a moment. Look at the numbers. Do you even know the numbers??

You are overreacting like a little ***** without even analyzing. You silly ****. You think Oscar-Manny sold because of Manny?
