Freddie Roach & Bob Arum " Manny Pacquiao is more popular than Ali,De La Hoya &Tyson"

[Stoppage]

No boxer is more popular than Tyson.

[Sin City]

Tyson was a phenomenon. anywhere he went there was droves of people waiting to meet him.

[Heru]

Tyson and Ali were world phenomenons, if I ask someone in Latin and South America or Africa about them, they'd know who they are. They wouldn't know Pacquiao.

[street bully]

No one is one alis level in terms of drawing power, no one.

link or youre a savage liar

^This. I can imagine Floyd saying something like this, but not Roach or Arum.

[Sin City]

his ppv numbers strongly disagree..no current fighter is a big a draw as oscar..........and ali and tyson are in an entirely differant statosphere

PPV numbers reflect American's interest in a fighter NOT the world's.
So it's pretty pointless to use that as the foundation for your argument.

[Sam D. Menace]

i agree, but considering parts of the phillipines are in turmoil not everyone can pay for the ppv's and ****, but still, i think come pacquiao vs cotto everybody gonna be suprised how much money that's gonna generate

Link?

Why would they even go there? All this could get them is resentment.

They know Pacquiao in latin america.. I do doubt they know him in Africa though.

Tyson > Ali when it came to drawing power.
