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

[Al Haymon]

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

Yes. i think everybody will be surprised when the numbers come out.

I'm not one to talk or boast about age on a forum, but I am a lot more than a year older than you. Anyways ask anyone 30 years or older who can remember anything who was more well known. Ali was seen as an icon and the best sportsman int he world, Tyson was viewed as a freak show.

Ali wasn't even liked in his own country.. by some black people and by a lot of whites.
Tyson was.. no matter what color you were. So how is Ali going to be more popular?
Because black nationalists and ******s loved him in the 60s.. doesn't mean the rest of America did. & have you ever seen Tyson's trip around Asia? He was being greated like a king.

& with pulling age.. you are only 30, even then you still weren't around at the time.. so saying oh you young whipper snappers dont know what you are talking about dont make sense.

Disagree.

All 3 are more popular.

I Think Arum meant:

Ali Funeka
Tyson Fury and
Oscar Larios.

to paraphrase, Arum said Ali, oscar, tyson never had the type of cult following Manny has, with phillipines, and filipinos across the world.
.

Those are the only people mobbing Pacquiao.

Ali would travel halfway across the world and be mobbed by fans.

Big difference.

In the Philippines, sure. I still have to tell some people who he is. I love watching Manny fight, but my man Duran was popular worldwide, as was Tyson, Ali and De La Hoya.

Ali Funeka
