Top3 Followings In Boxing Today (different to just straight-up Popularity!)

Out of the modern-day fighters, which 3 (rank them please) have the top 3 followings in Boxing (this is not the same as straight-up popularity... which Oscar wins hands down).


1) Pacquiao

2) Hatton

3) Cotto


I don't even think the top3 is debatable.

Be interesting to hear suggestions of other huge/big followings fighting for 4th & 5th....

 

Modern-day, present.

Tyson's been done since Lennox...! Oscar over-took him after that.... in terms of being a draw.

 

Hatton has the most dedicated & loyal fans, no doubt, there.

But in terms of following numbers, Pacquiao just about beats him. Every single Filipino knows who Pacquiao is. If they don't it's a shock... even if they're female. If you're British & female but don't know who Hatton is.. you're forgiven. That's the difference.

 

Yep, basically what I said in my last post.

Even if The Phillipines was a prosperous, rich nation.. I'd still question that.
British fans are known to be the most hard-working & loyal in the world of sports. They bust their savings to go follow their idols around Europe (and in the case of Hatton- the world!).


Just look at World Cups (football-- real football, not the American game where the ball barely touches your foot). More English fans will travel to faraway places than people from any other country would or do to support their team!

 

anyway,

anyone got any qualms with Cotto at 3?

Who else is hovering beneath Cotto... battling for the 4th & 5th spots, in your opinions, guys??
