Floyd is nationalistic? The same Floyd that doesn't fight for the fans and only in a check cashing business? That's nationalistic to you?

Actually your posting style is quite boring ... designed to lessen the good public perception of a particular boxer with reference to his chief rival as the face of boxing. And you seem to create your own definition of the word boring.
Anyhow, it is all a matter of preference. I find that "illiterate" congressman's outside life more interesting and inspiring than the ustream/WWE star.

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?

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.Comment

he's boring in american television because he cant speak the language well enough for his personality to come out. the guy makes movies, records, is a boxing star, & now a congressman in his country. that is not a boring person. he's boring when on american television but not in his country. he's been accused of having affairs with actresses, **********s, & is even accused of political assassinations & his right hand man is a underworld kingpin.
you seriously think manny is boring outside the ring?
you are down right just plain wrong.Comment

I don't remember boxers being on the top cause their personality got them up there, their fists did. Their personality might had helped in some way to sale the fight but in the end is their boxing ability and win fights that gets you there. 24/7 is to appeal the masses and the common fan but I can see the hardcore fans dissapointed with itComment
