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

[Papa Ace]

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

Youre prolly meant popularity in the US. A friend of mine were just casually talking to a taxicab driver in Singapore during the ride, after he learned he came from the Philippines, he asked about Manny. My friend said he knew him and showed him a picture together with Manny. The driver was awed and didnt charged my friend.

Some cats here must be mentaly ******ed. I'm a Mayweather fan, but if Pacquiao vs Hatton gets more buys than Mayweather vs Hatton, seeing that we are in a pretty bad recession, then what will you guys make out of it?

By the way I didn't even mention Mayweathers name in this thread, but I see some of you cats are using Pacquiao's name to promote Mayweather.

floyd fan? ummm. pacman is in your sig. seem like more of a MP ****rider to me.

especially being that you are showcasing his fight with DLH which is hardly a fight that can be used as an example for a notable win

Yeah I was speaking as far as the U.S. goes.That's a nice story but it doesn't mean anything. Personal accounts from a few people on a forum don't translate to nationwide star status...

Since when does boxing just have to be nation-wide?

[street bully]

boy yall fools sip too much koolaid.

Manny the face of boxing hahaha. too funny.

as said, MP fought beaten fighters. PBF's leftovers. foought barrera and morales when they were already over the hill.

and lost to JMM. who PBF is fighting as a tune up

i cant wait for the pacman ****riders world to be turned upside down when their boy is laid out on the canvass

Man I like JMM more than I like Pacquiao, but Manny fought him at 126 and 130 where it was an even fight, and not at 147.

Boxing in America = Most money, but not necessarily most fame.

MP fights at 140

listen to roach. they want welterweights to come down to 140. he wants them to lose so much weight that they lose energy. why do you think they took the fight with DLH at the weigh they did

they knew DLH in losing weight would lose power and energy. he trained DLH for al ittle so he knows where DLh's break points are. he was smart. DLH's camp was ******

DLH was nothing but a punching bag inthat fight.

they arent smart.what do you think would have happen if they fought DLh at the weight he fought PBF. DLH would have kocked MP across the ring

are you kidding me. why do you think boxers from other countries that are scared stay away from American boxers?

look at Lenox lewis. he didnt come into the states until the heavy fighters were past their prime. he could have came in when they were in their prime but he would have gotten demolished.

look calaghe didnt fight Bhop or any of the other American Middle weights in their prime. Roy jones JR in his prime would have killed calazaghe but of course he waits until they are well past their prime to come to the states.

if he would have come into the states 10 years ago. he would have been demolished.

America = best boxers in the world and where the true test of boxing skill is
