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

[Horus]

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.

FACT:They gave away FREE and discounted tickets to the Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight.

So probably the reason you saw so many whites and hispanices is because they got their tickets for free


As a result, the Gate for the fight was only something like $5 Million dollars.

Floyd barely knows more than 5 sentences. he uses the exact same lines in EVERY interview. How is that entertaining?

It's like he's a computer programmed to answer every question exactly the same in each interview.

I love the way this guy pronounce boring in this video:
It always gives me a big chuckle. LOL.

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?

Philippines is more than 20 thousand miles away and the Filipino population in the US is a 'minority among **********'...so again, why would someone so boring and someone from somewhere so foreign be almost as big a draw as an American fighter with a Facebook account?

do you know for a fact how many tickets they gave away? no you dont. all you have is conjecture. If you think the fight only drew $5million you have zero concept of business & jerry jones wouldnt have been so quick to host a pacquiao vs margarito fight. the fight drew 50k plus. jerry jones is a business man, a successful one at that. he's not gonna do it if it was a economic failure.

Man Horus u can say whatever U like but Manny is NOT boring inside the ring & as a fight fan to me,that's 90% of the equation baby!!

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.

In case you missed it.

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?

imagine if PAC had a Facebook or Twitter account? he would be boxing's true cash cow

[Heeb]

As a fan of boxing, I care about what happens in the boxing ring most. I'd watch Pacquiao KOing Hatton over Floyd talking about Shane's hair any day.
