Is Pacquaio becoming more and more irrelevant?

[DeadLikeMe]

he has peaked in popularity and boxing skills...while his skills are showing slight decline, his popularity is still as high as it ever will be.

[FirePunch]

MY A S S

not too long ago yahoo released info claiming he was the most searched athlete of the month .

Just because your losing interest in him doesnt mean everyone else is .

If anything mayweather is now more irrelevant due to nobody buying his B.S no more people now see thru him

[NearHypnos]

yes, this is very correct.

also, it is very clear he won the thirds marquez fight.

these are the greatest ATG writers and reporters of all time that ever existed. and they saw the truth.

there are alot of ATG boxers and judges that scored it for marquez, but they dont know boxing like these reporters. it is even possible they could have been paid off by top rank but that would not change what we all saw.

personally i had it 120-108 for pacquiao (being generous to marquez, should be 120-106).


anyways, these are the most important people of the media and they really know boxing and we will take their word before any old dumb ATG boxers.







these are the things that make me proud to be a pac fan.

You're that STOP guy aren't you? >__>...lol

[_original_]

They're lucky if the Bradley fight does does 800k. I like the fight but Pacquiao's hype is dying down after Marquez spanked him, again, and everybody knows Floyd would toy with him.

[Carpe Diem]

Seems like it.He took a huge hit when he struggled with Margarito, got knocked down by Mosley and then went on to lose to Marquez. His fanbase doesn't really follow boxing, they only follow him and they were attracted to his explosive knockouts. When a fighter starts to decline, the real fans stay but the bandwagon fans start to leave. This is what we are experiencing with Pacquiao's fans.

Wut??

[punchville]

mainstream wise, sure he'll always be popular even when he retires. boxing wise tho, hes took a hit from where he was a year ago.

i can agree with that.

[-Spinal-]

To me he was irrelevant when he started his little lineup of Margarito, Mosley, Marquez.

[hugh grant]

Floyd was irrelevant when he retired i dont think anyone noticed hed gone. Only thought about him when Floyd would reappear wanting to have his say or talk about something, which he did often, rather than be quiet like a proper retired boxer might do.

People want to see Pac versus Bradley quite bad, so i doubt pacs irrelevant.

[big_james10]

put it this way, make a pacquiao thread on boxingscene and see how many replies u get. now make a mayweather thread about basically the same topic and u'll see how things have changed for pac.

This is not a change. This has always been the case. Now, people are starting to realize what serious boxing fans knew all along -- that Pacquaio is not as good as his hype and Pacquaio (and his promoter) are the reason why the Mayweather fight has not taken place. After Bradley taxes his ass, Pac will fade into oblivion $40 million poorer than he could have been.

[kadyo's]

I think pacquiao being irrelevant is a good thing. Whether it is true right now or not is another thing.
