    Supposed international celebrity, light of the world, fighter for world peace, defender of the poor, congressman, 60 minutes exclusive, 8 division world champion, Manny Pacquiao....


    Cant outsell a ghetto kid from Grand Rapids, Michigan. :lol:


    But thats because he's American an Manny's not. Well Mayweather must be half British too because he outsold Manny in Britain aswell.


    Maybe its an anti-asian thing. :lol:

    ghetto? it seems to me more silver spoon than ghetto, floyd sels good because he is easy to hate, comes back from long lay offs, and promotes the fight well.
    being american helps for sure, imagine pacquiao with very good English he would be more interesting for people.

    As usual, you're right on the 'Money'.


    Of course an American who represented the USA at the Olympics, and has done Dancing With The Stars and WWE, and is part of a famous American boxing family, has no conceivable advantage selling his fights on American networks to American fans.

    Im from Grand Rapids, Michigan. He went to Ottawa Hills High School. You ever see the movie dangerous minds.

    Silver spoon is laughable. Maybe lower middle class.

    Yeah he was on the original office and played part-time left back for Arsenal. As to why he outsold Manny in Britain too.


    Yep im sure when people buy Mayweather fights, the think All-American boy, and 1996 olympics.

    :patsch He may be hypothetically lower middle class, but the school he went to is the worst.

    If you have a silver spoon in your mouth, you dont go to Ottawa Hills. You go to East, or Forrest Hills.


    You dont go to school who marks their goallines with tires. :lol:

    Fourteen students were arrested after fights broke out at Ottawa Hills High School on the Southeast side of Grand Rapids Friday afternoon.

    Multiple fights broke out after one student started a fight in a classroom. According to the story gleaned by Grand Rapids Police, a student came to the school's main office with a parent to speak with school officials. The student left the office, went to a classroom looking for another student, and the first fight broke out.

    Topics
    Martin Luther King Jr.
    Other small fights erupted, and the school was place on lockdown by police as officers and security tried to break up the melees. No weapons were involved, and no one was injured.

    The arrested students could face charges ranging from trespassing to hindering and opposing an officer.

    No classes are scheduled for Monday, given observation of the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday. Classes will resume
