    Forbes 2012 world's most powerful celebrities list is out: Pacquiao - #33

    FORBES WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL CELEBRITIES LIST IS OUT: PACQUIAO - #33; MAYWEATHER - #55

    The annual list of the influential Forbes Magazine world's most powerful celebrities list for 2012 has just been released with boxing superstar and Philippine congressman Manny Pacquiao landing on number 33. Pacquiao's boxing nemesis Floyd Mayweather, Jr made it to number 52. This year's list is topped by American actress Jennifer Lopez followed by perennial top contender Oprah Winfrey on number 2 and teenage singing sensation Justin Bieber on number 3.

    Seventeen athletes made it to this year's list headed by Tiger Woods (#12), Lebron James (#15) and Kobe Bryant (#27).

    View the complete list here: http://www.forbes.com/celebrities/

    Pacquiao, who last year earned US$67M and who also made it to the list in 2010 (#55) and 2009 (#57), was described by the magazine as "a pay-per-view stud with five fights each generating at least one million PPV buys during the past four years. Pacman has expanded his endorsement reach by signing deals with Monster Energy and Hennessy. Other partners include Nike and Hewlett-Packard. Pacquiao was elected to the House of Representatives in the Philippines in 2010 in a landslide victory."

    The magazine considers the ranking of candidates in the following area in determining the celebrity's final standing: earnings, TV/Radio, press, social media and web.

    Forbes will do a live webcast featuring the writers who put this year’s list together which could be accessed on the following URL: http://www.forbes.com/sites/dorothyp...celebrity-100/

    I guess we know who has more pulling power and more marketable in the USof A.

    ....It's the Pacman..

    50/50 is more than generous of Pac in fact PAc should get the 60/40 split..

          Thats why I say that Floyd will end up broke before Manny. When their careers are over Pac will be an ambassador for the sport and will have high marketability. No one will touch Floyd once he isn't headlining PPV cards and he doesn't have the business acumen to get his own promotional company going (hence why he still needs GBP after all these years.) Hell Floyd is at the peak of his career payday wise and has no endorsements to speak of.

                Floyd Mayweather is still the second most globally known athlete and the most searched boxer in the Philippines.

                Keep in mind Floyd has endorsements from Monster Energy Drink and Reebok, while Manny's endorsements are being thrown out the door as we speak.

                    This is as far as Manny Floyd goes is based on Pacs political life , Pac should get all these polls voters to BUY his fights , seems they dont get anywhere near the buyers that Floyds fans do .
