You typed all that. I'll type this. You're an idiot. Plain and simple.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?

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.

thank you for proving my point that pacquiao's recent success is not nationalistic driven. If only pinoys watched pacquiao fights he would only average at the very best 250k ppvs. showing those numbers one could say floyd is a purely nationalistic driven fighter than pacquiao & based on the population of the U.S. floyd is clearly underwhelming considering he's an american & pacquiao isnt.Comment

When it comes to being entertaining? besides from boxing.
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..

could you just stop & just listen & read what you are typing? Just because YOU havent seen it, doesnt mean it didnt happen. Does brad pitt have a twitter, facebook, page? take someone like wayne rooney, does the average american know who he is & if his life is exciting? the british do, does he have a twitter, facebook page? seriously, when you look back at this thread you should be ashamed of yourself. Since when does having a twitter, youtube, facebook page a prerequisite for fame & validation if something happened?Comment
