    That's the way it is, mi amigo. It's called fans idolization (not idolatry!).

    As long as the idol is there, the fans will be there. And vice-versa. And if the idol happens to be immensely exciting and likeable like Pacman, his fan base and popularity will likely be immense.

    So the best thing to do is sit, relax and enjoy reading the threads and postings while it lasts. Bon jour!

      I think the topics were a lot crazier when Williams was fighting Klitschko.

      Yeah....yeah...yeah.....
      You guys aren't telling me something I don't already know.

      But...the fact is....should Pacquiao lose convincingly, you will see a lot of posters disappear. Even the ones who are REGULAR posters will cease posting.

          Not really. Cuz they have the BIG Klit to console them when the little one loses.

              Wlad's still being supported has more to do with his brother's current success.
              They're like a package deal.

                  Tyson's fans are in dire need of psychiatric help.
                  Most Vietnam Vets suffer less from the effects of FLASHBACKS than do Tyson fans.

                    Yeah, they should wake up to reality, the sooner the better for them.

                      there are alot of pac fans on this forum, i suspect alot of them are teenagers who are new to boxing. thats no bad thing if through watching pac they watch other fighters and boxing becomes a passion that lasts a lifetime. the downside is when they start to disrespect any boxer pac fights, like morales or jmm, both of whom are world class in their own right and also good to watch. anyone who says morales has no chance and will get knocked out in this fight does'nt really know boxing.
