    Horus,

    match PBF with Clottey and have NO 24/7...you think they can sell out your local high school?
    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.

    Nationalistic Driven Fighter:
    Manny Pacquiao

    Manny Pacquiao is a Nationalistic fighter that is why he is a draw.

        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?
        heh hehh hehhe heheheheh....

            I watch boxing for the sporting aspect of it, stick to WWE if you want to see outlandish characters and personalities.

              nationalistic fighter? why do so many whites, blacks, hispanics watch manny? manny's base the philippine ppv power is only worth at best 200-300k ppvs in america. i was at the clottey pacquiao fight in dallas & it was full of whites & hispanics & other races not just philippines.

              even your statement nationalistic driven can be said for floyd or any other fighter.

                  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?

                  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.
                  this n'igga sounds ridiculous as fu'ck. all that writing and you still sound like a sour n'igga.

                    If you read what I just posted, you would know I already answered your question.


                    Facts:Manny is close to floyd drawing Appeal, but he is not the bigger Draw.
                    Numbers proved this.


                    Manny is a incredible draw just like Julio Ceaser Chavez,Alexis Arguello,
                    Felix Trinidad, Wladimir Klitschko and Joe Calzaghe are incredible draws..
                    Because they 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.

                    Did that answer your question?

                      its quite ridiculous really. philippine minority in the U.S. is about 4-5 million. if you divide that by about 20 people which equals a ppv party that only amounts to 250,000 ppvs. How has manny achieved 400k, 700k, 1 mill ppv 2x if he was just purely a nationalistic driven fighter?
