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

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

Im American, So I speak from a American Point of View.
Pacquiao before the bell is boring. English or Not.
I can only go by what I see and what I hear.
I have Eyes
and
I have Ears

Look It is SILLY SEASON to see people whine and ***** about American bias When what they are really upset about is not seeing their views reflected on in the media.

Does pacquiao have a facebook?
Does pacquiao have a twitter?
Does pacquiao have a youtube page?


Stop for a second and think about all the vast numbers or small media sources that would help Pacquiao resonate more with American Fans when it comes to being entertaining. However, He doesnt used them. Not my fault, it is his fault.

How would I know how Pacquiao in the Philippines is if he doesnt have a facebook, if he doesnt have a twitter, if he doesnt have a youtube account.
You know all media sources that AMERICANS used to get more information about people.

He would be more entertaining if he had all three of those things, you know how?

Because all the stuff you say he does, would actually be seen by Americans through Facebook,Twitter,Youtube, and other American media sources..

Understand.

No, but if his life is crazy and hectic as you claim surley 24/7 would have captured some of it.. Dont you think?

Pacquiao has done three 24/7's now..
and I have yet to see any of the things you speak of!!

Instead they used the same storylines,
When its comes to promotion of Pacquiao's fight.

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

thats it.

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

i dont care about any of that, in fact if love it if fighters never even talked, that would fulfill the "mystery" aspect you talk about

they always tend to be either

1. boring people because the best ones think about boxing 24/7 (these kind i like)

2. attention starved wife beaters and "hip hop gangstas" and other **** anyone over age 15 just finds annoying

[nelsoncm]

Nothing more exciting than a fighter that blabbers to the death of knocking out an opponent... and potshots the entire fight.

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.


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.

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.

I don't know where you find that Floyd Mayweather's "draw" has anything to do with nationalism. For that matter, very few fighters have a nationalist appeal anyway.

Horus, you are a unique person. You're very good at posting so much of so little.

OH **** !!

How did I miss this thread?!

But I do agree with you Horus. Manny should start Twitter.

Amir is entertaining, he has Twitter, Facebook, and an official fan forum. Although Floyd does have Twitter, he doesn´t use it as toroughly as Amir. Amir is on twitter 24/7, giving us inside pics and keeps us up to date. Floyd only does shout outs and hardly responds to his fans. He sells his iPhone Apps through it.

So Amir >>>> Floyd.

Haters gon hate

Holy **** Horus. I am usually somewhat entertained by your threads but this is grasping at straws.

It reeks of so much jealousy, it's actually embarrassing to read.


I say stick with PPV gates for your next one.
