The Difference Between Entertainers and Fighters. Why Pacquiao is BORING!

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.

I did and to be honest I am not sure why you feel FB and Twitter is an integral part of how Manny can gain more US access.

he is not a showman yet people still gravitate to him

he is not flashy nor a big talker yet people still come to see him fight, watch his PPVs and adore him

calling attention to himself on twitter or FB isn't going to enhance that

different fighters have different styles. Some find what others find boring as entertaining or at the very least viewable

see I think you see brash and self promoting as important kind of like how you are personally

you create these threads largely to call attention to yourself and for the most part it works because people come to these threads

but something lacks and always has Horus. A genuine sense that you get something out of these threads as someone perusing this. Much like those who critique Floyd sure they come to watch him fight but a lot of times they leave feeling cheated, kind of like your threads

now Manny by contrast is all sound and fury he is basically a man of few words, kind of boring, kind of middle of the road, he talks really bad trash and he probably knows it

however he is one thing you could never comprehend and something you clearly overlook much like you clearly are avoiding my simple little question as to whether you have seen Pacquiao fight.

he is endearing to his fans. He is the epitome of speak softly and carry a big stick. When fans go into a Manny fight they know exactly what they get so they know if they purchase a ticket chances are they won't be disappointed

and I asked you whether you have been to a Manny fight for several reasons

1. you would then have firsthand knowledge as to what the crowd at a Pacquiao fight consists of not just speculation and assumption that non Asian people went because they were comped

2. you would get a firsthand view of what it's like to see a crowd energized by him. You would know how endeared he is to his fans and how loyal they are to him and ....and he has yet to disappoint them even in losing fashion.

3. going to fights is unlike sitting on here and speculating what it is like. You would know had you attended any and I think your assessment wouldn't be so media driven

Truth right here.. Well said Eaner..

[Scary]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! That made me laugh hysterically!

[Horus]

to be more correct, i'd avoid point estimation, so i'd go for an interval of 15-25 with a margin of error of 5%.

i'm sure horus knows what i'm talking about.

Lol Kaydo, Green K my friend.
But even 15-25 is too wide of a range.
I would used 5-10 as my average per fight if I were to averaged.
because if you used 20 as your AVERAGE. that means more than 45% of total sample is more than 20 people per party.

[Horus]

Why you want to fight dude? Did I miss something?

Im curious too, I told him to PM ME and he never did.
People get real tough on a keyboard now and days.

I find it funny that you seek answers YET

have not answered my simple little question even AFTER I answered your repeated questions as to why I asked

so

how many Manny Pacquiao fights have you attended? honest straight forward answer is all I seek

I will wait

Carnal, I think you and I and everybody who has read this thread no the answer to that question.

[Eaner0919]

Carnal, I think you and I and everybody who has read this thread no the answer to that question.

oh I know that

just merely pointing out his hypocritical ways in which he wants people to give him answers but yet will never answer a question himself

also showing how while some of us on here have indeed never been to a fight, they do not act like the be all end all Horus does

this is sort of my completion of this lesson

class?

Pacquiao might not the most technically sane, but boring? I can't agree with that statement.
