Most of Pac fans on NSB came after the Oscar fight.

Boxing fights that bring new fans to the sport are bad. New fans are dumb. This thread makes lots of sense.

Funny coz there were more Pacfans here than *****s when I first joined..

just like many basketball fans were only JORDAN fans and literally stopped watching basketball after he retired

I'm Filipino so I'm a ******* by default. But I'm a boxing fan first and I try to be objective as possible. The reason why Pacquiao is revered so greatly by Filipinos is that he's the only international superstar/celebrity/VIP from the Philippines. We don't have many role models to look up to because there are very few prominent Filipinos. So we focus all of our attention and admiration on this one person. Most of my Filipino friends are not boxing fans, just Pacquiao fans. Pacmania is becoming an unhealthy obsession among Filipinos, unfortunately. Once Manny retires this obsession will die off.

If 99% of your posts are about Pacquiao, you're most certainly Filipino. That's the case for boxingscene and ESB.

when jones jr fell off though Floyd really didint get big though.

you're tight I take it back... floyd blew up after bhop lost to taylor... that's when floyd got the #1 p4p status.

there were scattered posts here and there, but truthfully floyd didint get that big following until he massacred gatti, i remember nobody saw that beatdown coming. there were still tons of tyson fans hanging on as well.

wha...?

everybody knew gatti was the sacrificial lamb. HBO fattened gatti so that floyd could slaughter him.

but most of floyds attention came to light when he left top rank. floyd wasnt really known for being someone who avoids competition until arum himself used margarito to push that foward. before that though, he was one of the most liked guys on here post gatti.

nah, floyd blew up when rjj and bhop fell off, then all their fanbase moved to floyd

I came after the Cotto fight.

No, this place has packed with Pac fans since I've been here. The Pinoy Lounge has been around for a while.

Ain't it funny how most of the whiners joined starting 2008?
