honestly though Pacquiao became this breakout star as of late from 2008 and on, he was star quality even since 2004 but he wasn't a ground shattering celebrity fighter up until these past couple of years. it wasn't until Manny built himself up as the only other guy for Floyd Mayweather to face and give him a tough fight that people started chanting his name to this extent, this is because before Manny was in the picture Floyd was already public enemy number 1, he was already Mr hated and already the most talked about guy
don't get me wrong Manny doesn't owe his greatness to Floyd the way it can be misinterpreted by my choice of words but Floyd being Floyd, being for many years the man people want to see lose, for a guy who is likable like Pacquiao to come along blitzing everyone naturally it will spark interests in not only a Mayweather fight but in Manny himself so don't sit there and pretend that Manny is bigger than Floyd because he is simply not, Floyd is the bigger draw and honestly even if Pacquiao-Margarito did 1.4 million views he still can't evade the fact that overall Floyd sold more PPV's and has proven time and time again to be the bigger star
media usage and controversy surrounding this fight brought in those kind of numbers, a show Floyd created helped promote this fight, the fact that people were already clamoring for a Mayweather-Pacquiao brawl helps generate interests in this joke of a fight that he had with Margarito. say what you want but Floyd is the bigger draw despite any appearances Manny may have recently done. if Manny really wants to fight then he needs to accept the testing terms, it's a simple as that and there are ZERO exceptions..
oh and lmao at the fact that you had the nerve to call Mayweather's demand silly yet you co-sign Pacquiao and his recent silly demands, the fact that he asked for 10,000,000 per pound overweight that Floyd may come in is astonishingly unreasonable of a demand but did you hear Floyd run around like how Manny is doing now saying "that's a silly demand", "you're asking for too much", NO Manny got his YES exactly how he wanted and he's not man enough at the negotiation table to do the same for his opponent? he isn't the only one calling shots man realize that and fast, this isn't Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito whom can't make their own moves yo Floyd is his own promoter and he calls his own shots too
