    There is a lot of focus on Floyds fight in the medias.
    He is the biggiest name out there.
    HBO are making such a big deal when Floyd is fighting.
    There are talking about his fight all the time.
    Other media does too.

    But i remeber the time when Tyson was about to fight. I think there were bigger focus on them, even if he was fighting bums.

    But how about Ali. Almost everybody knows him to. And is still very popular and know by non-boxing fan people.

    And then we have Lennox Lewis, Foreman, Oscar De La Hoya etc.?

    Edit: Edited the thread from its original question because the answer seemed pretty clear, very quick.

    Tyson by lightyears.

    99.9 % of normal people have no idea who Mayweather is.

    None.

    Zero.


    They've heard of Pacman, though. (g)

    Is this serious? Tyson is like the Beatles of music while Floyd is like the Backstreet Boys.

    You are really clueless, speaking as someone who has lived in many countries and travelled the world- I was in Agentina when Tyson was going to fight Bruno II and there were lots of girls (hot ones) never mind the guys, who were waiting for the fight to be shown on tv. Now imagine other places in Africa, middle east , Asia.... may who? Even Tyson does not know how big he was. I think he would be shocked if he knew.
