Compare that to Baseball, Basketball or Football attendance figures or viewership.
Pacquiao can get tens of thousands of people into stadiums, arenas, etc. Watch some NBA or MLB games and count the empty seats once in a while. The Mosley fight (17,000 seats I think) was sold out almost a month before the fight.
14 million people watched Pacquiao's segment on 60 minutes last year and he's being featured in a follow up segment this Sunday. On Saturday on CBS Primetime, there's a 1 hr program whose sole purpose is to document his training camp/daily life airing.
But please, continue. I'd love to hear more B.S.Last edited by ThePrince; 04-28-2011, 11:20 AM.

He’s a good boxer and all, but he’s a douche and his running for congress, twice, without knowing a single thing about government is embarrassing. What’s more embarrassing is my fellow Filipinos voting for him.
You were right about 60 Minutes having 14 million viewers that night...what you conveniently forgot to mention was that BARACK ***** was the interview in the first segment of the showLMAO yes I do enjoy feeding you all this B.S.
http://www.thefutoncritic.com/rating...20101109cbs01/ How many people do you think tuned in to watch the Manny Pacquiao interview? LMFAO!!!!
Also, PPV numbers for boxing have remained consistent for almost 20 years! 20 years ago most households didn't even have cable in the US!!! Now practically every household has access to cable and PPV yet the PPV numbers have pretty much held steady (excluding ODLH v Mayweather)

Fight Camp 360 will air on CBS...it isn't a "one hour special about Pacquiao" or whatever garbage you said...it is CBS giving away a slot that never gets any ratings in an attempt to promote their own PPV event...it features Mosley and Pacquiao...it isn't because Manny Pacquiao is a real cool guy he punches stuffs and doesn't afraid of anything.
Do you even live in the United States? where are you getting this idiocy from? Philboxing? wtf???/ ahahaha

Originally posted by KingOfBox View PostNo he is not. Pacquiao is great for boxing. Its the screw ups behind the scenes who mess up the sport politically... The Sulaiman's, Arum's, WBA, even HBO believe it or not.... These people keep fighters away from eachother, organize undeserving title fights, guarantee ridiculous paydays to undeserving fighters, create super duper belts and platinum belts, sign contracts with one stable guaranteeing them all their fights on tv. Its all this **** that ****s up boxing... Why blame Pac? He comes to **** and everyone leaves happy. He does his job. Everyone else needs to start being held accountable. What boxing needs is a governing body with boxers having agents to negotiate and for fights to be on ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, TNT on primetime. National tv coverage, ONE recognized belt in each weight class, blood testing, and mandatory defenses!!!!!
^^^ I agree with a Floyd fan.. lol
Green K coming..
Boxing needs a Dana White..

From tvbythenumbers.com:
8:30 CBS 60 Minutes 3.3 Rating 13.966 million viewers
So 14 million viewers stuck around for Manny, in the second hour of the program, after *****'s segment.
Are you still LMFAO?!!! Well, are you?
And then you have to consider that the highest paid American athlete, Alex Rodriguez, only tied Pacquiao in earnings... before PPV bonuses and endorsements were taken into account.
But yeah, America doesn't care about Pacquiao... even though he makes the vast majority of his money here, is the highest paid athlete in the world, averages 2 million PPV buys here, fills arenas and stadiums here, has TV programs dedicated solely to him airing on Network primetime television, etc and so on.
Best to just take the L and keep it moving. It was fun while it lasted thoughLast edited by ThePrince; 04-28-2011, 11:57 AM.
