Which is better for Boxing? A Mayweather or Pacquiao win? Poll!

[andrewcuff]

I gotta go with a Pac win being better. He's more of a traditional champion. He seems to garner a broader appeal, bringing in a lot of otherwise uninterested boxing fans.

I think for a die-hard boxing fan either would be great, the fight alone is a gift. But to a casual sports fan, Pacquiao is going to bring in more press and more interest to the sport.

Sense.

One fight doesnt make you a risk taker. His P4P reign was laced with "safer" fights than Pacquiao's has been.

Name who Floyd has fought since being P4P

Name who Manny has fought since being P4P

...excitement is good for boxing....i wonder who brings that between them....lol

Mayweather is huge for boxing but, Pacquiao really has the adoration of a lot of boxing fans and the ability to entertain casual fans. It's not an attack on Mayweather to say you think Pacquiao extending his reign would be good for boxing.

so a brawler beating a "boxer" is better for boxing

dumb ****s

highly contradictory

[DrewWoodside]

hmmm...I think it goes the other way around Drew.

if the former beats the current, that means a bit more.

"don't you think?"



I love the part on Lion King when Rafiki said that...

I'm just speaking on behalf of Pacquiao's position as #1 in response to Burner. Although Pacquiao is rightfully #1 he'll trully be recognized for that if he beats the former. Of course it would also be huge for Mayweather to regain his former throne.

could'nt agree more.....

[Joeyzagz]

Mayweather has a 5 fight deal with GoldenBoy so obviously Im going to say may. Pacquiao will retire if he wins.

Pacquiao win is good for boxing as Mayweather not setting a good example to our children. Big loud mouth, suspect in shooting, throwing money at night clubs instead giving it to the poor.
