If Pacquiao was Mexican, how popular would he be?

Would he be hailed as the next Salvadore Sanchez?

I dont' understand why the questions. He already gets tons of press from his homeland and he gets enough press here in the states.

Yes, he does. And it may be because he's NOT Mexican. It's become so common to hear that a great fighter is Mexican that the press doesn't pick up on it. Similar thing happened to Naseem Hamed because of his national ties to Yemen. No one ever heard of a Yemeni boxer or champion.

Definitely. Mexicans love a good all out fight. None of this jab and run type thing.

I'd have to agree with snoop, you'd have to be a hard-core boxing fan(or mexican) to now about MAB & EM, but Pacman has ridiculous fame in his country, which in my opinion might be real bad for him, I hope he doesn't fall into the superstar lifestyle & becomes a shell how what he once was.

I've meet people who arn't hard-core boxing fans and they know who barrera and morales are.

Pac would be thrown out of Mexico for his effort against, sanchez, marquez and larios and after still trying to rebound after his ko loses.

So basically in mexico, styles dont make fights, gotcha. Not to mention i wouldnt call larios' loss to isreal vasquez a "ko loss" it was a crap stoppage on a ****** cut
