Plus he has had more time to grow in celebrity since knocking Hatton out. Don't underestimate the WWE thing. I would say that only boxing/sport fans know about Pacman whereas even WWE fans and materialistic Crib worshipping youth know about Money Mayweather. I hear alot of non-boxing fans talking about these priogrammes, including celeb gossip girlies.
    This is essentially it when I went to the training day people didnt know who roger was etc there were loads of these celebrity worshipping people there even Jermain defoe and kieran Dyer were there im pretty sure they arent boxing fans rather they just wanted to meet Maywaether the celebrity

          precisely ray, it takes unbias statistics to get to the heart of the matter and one person's observation isn't reliable.

              I live in Birmingham England. And am a Fan of Both PAC and PBF. For casual Boxing fans both are equally as popular, but with the non-boxing general public PBF is more known by a long distance!. even ma GF (that has never watched boxing) knows PBF lol

                Nah.

                You're about 40 years behind us pal.

                Turn your radio on next week, you'll hear about England winning the World Cup.



                Haven't you heard of Dizzee Rascal, Artic Monkeys. Any newer bands?

                  Im going with Mayweather, although since Pac beat Hatton he has picked up a slight following in school who think he is unbeatable. But thats okay because it means i can pick up their money when he fights Cotto or Floyd.
