    Yao is overrated, he just got lucky to be born tall.

      Yao Ming was only popular when he was first brought in...after years of injuries and limited play many have forgotten him.

      Once this Mayweather fight gets signed everyone will know Pacquiao's name...they should already

        I believe Pac will someday pass Yao in popularity. The guy is just injury prone, his too tall for his feet. His not even gonna play this season and that trend will continue season by season.
        when is it coming out on US mainstream TV??

          No chance in hell..what kind of a question is this? He's not even more well known than floyd in the U.S. and floyd is NOT as well known as Yao ming..

          im assuming u mean popular as in "well known"..not "liked"..cause to be liked u need to be well known..and pac's not even close as well known as ming..

              Is that the one he did with the other Nike sponsored athletes or are you talking about a different one?

                      Considering there are and more Chinese in the US than Pinoys, it's unlikely Pac will become that popular.

                      Basketball is very mainstream. The fight game ain't.
