Manny Pacquiao is starting to rival jordan and woods.

[BoxingFollower]

Manny Pacquiao can't be put in the same sentence as Micheal Jordan or Tiger Woods, they both are on a WHOLE other level, even Kobe Bryant and Lebron James are above him.

Manny Pacquiao is very popular in Asia and etc, no doubt!! But those other names are world wide recognized names.

You could say to anyone, regardless of race,age, country, who is Micheal Jordan and even they have heard of him, or actually know about him.

lol these pacman fans are just out of hand now

Don't get me wrong, I love that Pacquiao is helping the sport that I love, he is giving it some attention....

But there's a line..he's not even the most popular boxer ever...
You got, ALI, Mike Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman, Frazier, and etc..

[mannyman]

he can't even outdo a Mayweather PPV

However... he can out do him in achievements:

BWAA Fighter of the Decade

The Ring and BWAA fighter of the year (3 times)

Oh yeah and 8 division world champion (4 lineal)

And now he's got a deal with Nike - this is gonna kill Mayweather

it is because basketball (NBA) is far way more popular than boxing...

Not even that, there is Tiger Woods, GOLF, and there are football players more popular, and baseball players.

It can't be that, simply because Mike Tyson is VERY popular, rather its a good opinion or bad one.

he's also been ko'd twice and has 3 losses, he's got mayweather beat on both sides, how does a shoe deal kill mayweather? jcc, rjjr and ward already got deals

jordan and woods are american... pacquiao is not an american... so why an american firm in Nike wants pacquiao to carry their brand for boxing...

and why the top american boxer in floyd mayweather jr. endorses Reebok, which was bought by Germany-based Adidas years ago due to near bankruptcy... why Nike don't consider its fellow countryman to endorse their product?...

floyd isn't as popular as pac worldwide and add to the fact that floyd is a racist. If they get floyd to endorse their product i'm 100% sure that they will lose millions of dollars because no one will buy to their products. Lol.
