Has Manny passed Oscar De La Hoya's popularity?

[talz]

R u serious?

Amir Khan is not popular at all in the UK. Half the UK hate the ****y, 3rd person speaking bell end. The scenes after the Prescott fight showed it all.

Oh is that why he sells out 20,000 seating arenas fighting people like Oisin ***an lol. Not to mention his PPV figures. Sure people hate him but alot of people like him.

While I don't think so yet....another spectacular win and I feel he does. His fan base is growing like crazy and watch how his fights start to do big numbers from now on. While his fight with Clottey might do big, I think both his fights with Shane and Toney both do atleast 1.5 million buys each.


BTW I know I'm jumping the gun and a lot depends on how good he continues to look but I really see this happening.

He has a whole country on his back foreal. Every filipino man woman and child knows who he is and what he has accomplished lately so I would say he is pretty damn big

[damned1974]

yes! you know you're on another level when you become a god!!!!!!

PACQUIAO IS GOD!!!!!!


first person in boxing history to become a living lord and legend. so yes he's way above any boxer in history!

WTF????
Here's you and Pacquiao >

[stefjonno1]

Pac is a God in the Philippines and has exciting KO power...but he doesn't have the same support in the US nor the model good looks that OLDH had...and this coupled with the questions that his non-fans have about him, is going to be really telling going forward...

In short, nowhere near ODLH's level...No one is!

You do understand that the rest of the world is a lot bigger place than America dont you?

Nobody is dis*****g the fact that De la hoya is bigger in America than Mani.


You say nobody is on de la hoyas level, so are you trying to say that oscar is more famous around the world than Ali or tyson? If so that is laughable.

While Pacquiao is popular i consider him flavor of the month.

I dont think hes close to Oscar cause he became more famous when he fought and beat Oscar. Oscar helped him do that.

Pacquiao while famous before couldnt get to Oscars level by himself so no - I dont think he'll ever be close

[p4p-champ]

You'd have to be a complete ******* to think Pacman has surpassed De La Hoya in popularity. Pacman is definitively the better fighter, but De La Hoya made boxing extremely popular to the mainstream folks. Pacman will never get to that level.

[niceguy45]

not even close........remember pacman is 30 now....
de la hoya began since the olympics he was very young indeed he had it all;
Oscar had already made more moneyy than pacman and floyd at his 30th birthday

[corpse elf]

He is close to pass Oscars popularity.

Really really close.

only a jackass with your avatar would say something so ******..

manny IS NOT EVEN CLOSE IN SURPASSING Oscar...his numbers are WAY WAY WAY OFF when it comes to a consistant basis...i dont think Manny is even more well known in America than Floyd...I dont think Floyd would ever be as well known as Oscar Delahoya..these pacquiao god threads HAS TO STOP

Pacfans next question about manny:

Is pacquiao good enough to be the 5th ninja turtle...****en christ..

[Rickety Cricket]

No not yet, but its possible if he keeps winning like he has been.

[the niggest]

no. De La hoya is a household name in the U.S. people know who he is no matter if they follow boxing or not. I don't think Pacquiao is there yet but if he fights Mayweather then maybe.
