As big as they are, have Pacquiao & Mayweather reached Tyson & De La Hoya yet?

[Zarco]

I know they are pulling in huge PPV numbers left and right especially in todays more advanced technology/more homes having PPV and I saw Pacquiaos bad acting commercial all over TV for a while and he has a line with Nike. I was talking to a 21yo girl who is a co worker and we got to talk about how I love boxing and she asked me who was my favorite boxer. I said you probably dont know who he is but its Sergio Martinez, you probably have heard of bigger names like Pacquiao and Mayweather. She said she didnt know who they were and she only knew of bigger names like Tyson and De La Hoya. I was kinda shocked at first because I see Pacquiao as being more renown than Mayweather so I thought she'd at least heard of him. And I know they do big numbers but Im talking about being renown as in the amount of people who know who they are. I think that Tyson and De La Hoya still are the top dogs, more people know of them. You can even check Tyson and De La Hoyas media resume from today or back in the day and its much longer than Pacquiaos especially Mayweathers. I mean you see Mike all over TV and in movies and Oscar made something like 12 appearances on the Tonight Show!!! All hail the star power of Tyson and De La Hoya!

Is this like a spinoff of Yesir's "Japanese biitches know Mayweather but not Pac thread"

I personally feel they passed DLH....but Tyson is on another level.

The minute either can do 1.75 buys against a bum, then we can talk. Until then Iron Mike is the G.O.A.T when it comes to PPV

[SyrianKid]

Mayweather maybe but Pacquiao never , most people in the world dont even know who the hell is this guy .

[Seleção No. 13]

Nope, neither.

Yea they do big PPV's numbers but if we went around asking people what boxers they know I think De La Hoya comes in front of Mayweather and Pacquiao. It does not necessarily mean that those people will order boxing PPV's just regular people in general. Like my coworker, she probably has never watched a full 12 round boxing match and will probably never order a boxing match but she still knew Mike and Oscar.

I look at his Nike deal as a huge deal. Oscar had his good share of endorsements back in his day.

What were they. I dont remember them. Honestly, he sold a bunch of PPVs but I dont think he was a legitimate household name compared to the level of tyson and Ali.

pacquiao and mayweather could have probably got more ppv buys but the recession made some big fights a little less then i thought it would be. like mayweather-mosley, pacquiao-cotto would have had more buys if there wasn't a recession
