:think This content is protected NEW YORKMusic artists claimed four top spots in Forbes Magazines celebrity power list with American singer-actress Jennifer Lopez at No. 1 for the first time, taking over from fellow pop singer Lady Gaga and beating out media mogul Oprah Winfrey. Filipino boxing idol Manny Pacquiao made a comeback after missing the cut last year, placing at No. 33 with estimated earnings of $67 million in the past 12 months. He was No. 55 in 2010 and No. 57 in 2009. Pacquiao was ahead of Floyd Mayweather Jr. who landed at No. 52. Pacquiao also ranked higher than fellow athletes Peyton Manning (No. 40), Cristiano Ronaldo (No. 44), Rafael Nadal (No. 47), Lionel Messi (No. 50), Tom Brady (No. 60), Alex Rodriguez (No. 63), Serena Williams (No. 77) and Li Na (No. 87). The Celebrity 100 is an annual list compiled and published by Forbes magazine of the years 100 most powerful celebrities based on entertainment-related earnings, media visibility and social media popularity. It covers film and television actors, television personalities, models, athletes, authors, musicians and comedians, Forbes said.
:good The irony of it all. And yeah, his lackluster performances inside the ring have springboarded the attention to his troubles outside the ring.
Wait a minute.. that pretty much proves Floyd WASN'T keen, you ******. It means Floyd is no longer will to provide the same offer he did two years ago to get the fight done. Think before you post.
So Floyd is KEEN on making the fight even though he won't agree to the same offer from two years ago? If you told your mother you'd sell her a crack rock for 50 dollars, and she said that was too expensive, but then came back a week later and said she was willing to pay that amount, and you told her the price was now 75 dollars, it doesn't mean your mother isn't a crack addict. It means you're being a *****.**** sakes.
his downfall started when he was elected to congress. Since the start of 2010 basically when he was campaigning seriously and boxing took 2nd place to politics..
You're talking about two completely different things. Being a smart negotiator has NOTHING to do with being keen. In fact they can often be mutually exclusive.
Manny's popularity is still at an all-time high! Manny Pacquiao is the face of boxing... Manny is a living legend! One day a movie will be made about this man... He came from poverty in a 3rd world country and he has risen to a global super star! Because of this a bunch of broke bitches are praying on his down fall! :verysad
Just from his face off and recent interviews, he just seems like a different person. Hopefully he will prove me wrong on fight night. Seems to me though that boxing just isn't what it used to be for him, politics and bible study are now more important and closer to his heart. Boxing was just a way of making money. Like I said though, I hope to be proved wrong.
Doubt it. Pacquiao still has all the interest surrounding him and for endless reasons. Even if he loses to Bradley, the support will remain. Pacquiao isn't any regular boxer to lose his support after one tough fight, if anything that will/should attract more to tune-in for his next fight.
Since the Marquez fight, it has been downhill from there ( his last fight, 116-112. 115-112, 114-114 scorecards)... Nothing to do with boxing inside the ring and thread starter wishing "well" to Pac. Well, when people wish like fortune tellers, some times the coin comes with the opposite side on top, you know?
