    Boxing is all about entertainment, drama, and mystery. Before and after the bell.

    Pacquiao after the bell ring, is one of the most entertaining fighters of all time.
    Pacquiao before the bell rings, is one of the most boring fighters of all time.


    Plain and Simple, Pacquiao has no personality. Pacquiao appeal is him being the pride and hope of the Philippines. So doing a 24/7 surrounding his journey towards his next fight will be boring because he is only 1 dimensional. How many shots can they show of him being cheered by his countrymen? So it should not be no big surprise that people find Manny Pacquiao boring before the bell rings, and when it comes to promoting a fight.


    When its comes to promotion of this fight. What Storylines can they sell concerning Pacquiao?

    Pacquiao loves his country?
    Pacquiao loves for his country is making him distracted?
    Pacquiao countrymen find hope in him?

    Where is the Drama?
    Where is the Intrigued?
    Where is the Mystery?
    Where is the Entertainment?


    Boxing is always at its peak popularity when it has fighters with Personalities.
    Historically speaking there has always been two type of draws in boxing that resonate with the fans.

    Personality Driven Fighter and Nationalistic Driven Fighter.It's rare, but sometimes 1 fighter processes both and than he is truly
    Transcendent figure.

    Personality Driven Fighter: Are fighters who are infamous,and notorious
    for the things they say as well as the way they fight. As a result, people pay to see them fight as well to see them win or lose.

    Nationalistic Driven Fighter: Are fighters who are famous by in large part due to their Nationality and how their fighting style embodies the characteristics of their Nation. As a result, their countrymen and women usually find pride in them and support them.

    Personality Driven Fighters
    Thomas Hearns
    Marvin Hagler
    Bernard Hopkins
    Roy Jones Jr
    Hector Camacho

    Nationalistic Driven Fighter:
    Julio Ceaser Chavez
    Manny Pacquiao
    Alexis Arguello
    Felix Trinidad
    Miguel Cotto
    Antonio Margarito
    Wladimir Klitschko
    Joe Calzaghe


    Both(Personality + Nationality)
    Muhammad Ali
    Mike Tyson
    Roberto Duran
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    Jake LaMotta
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Ricky Hatton
    Rocky Marciano
    David Haye
    Gatti



    So instead of some of you guys getting upset that people find pacquiao's 24/7 and interviews boring, just understand that Pacquiao draw is not based on him having a personality. So do not get upset when people say he is boring.
    Because you know what? He is.


    The essay you wrote holds absolutely zero weight

    You know why? Because every single thing you wrote is an opinion.

    And everyone has their own.

      Floyd is nationalistic? The same Floyd that doesn't fight for the fans and only in a check cashing business? That's nationalistic to you?

            Actually your posting style is quite boring ... designed to lessen the good public perception of a particular boxer with reference to his chief rival as the face of boxing. And you seem to create your own definition of the word boring.

            Anyhow, it is all a matter of preference. I find that "illiterate" congressman's outside life more interesting and inspiring than the ustream/WWE star.

              Drama sells, sex sells, drugs sell, swagger sells, attitude sells, violence sells but humbleness doesn't. That's why he sells fights but is seen as a boring dude.

                you seriously think manny is boring outside the ring?

                you are down right just plain wrong.
                shhhh...keep that on the low. you wanna make hypocrites out of all the pac fans who hate on floyd for being a scumbag criminal? oh wait.....

                  I don't remember boxers being on the top cause their personality got them up there, their fists did. Their personality might had helped in some way to sale the fight but in the end is their boxing ability and win fights that gets you there. 24/7 is to appeal the masses and the common fan but I can see the hardcore fans dissapointed with it
