    They would cheer Money. Pacquiao's appeal doesn't stray far outside of the Asian community. He's not a global icon like Money.

    Pac is the more public friendly persona but the kind of fans that would go to Wembley would be real boxing fans from all over Europe who appreciate the level of skill they both have.

    Also the UK in particular has respect for both boxers after their respective Hatton fights.

    No, they wouldn't. Mayweather is not liked in Britain and he is far from a global icon.

    Please, they had a report on the news when they thought some British kid played Money in an online video game. You think anyone would give a **** if someone played Pacquiao in fight night? No they would not. Money is in England promoting a fight against a Mexican and thousands of people are camped outside of a gym just to see him workout. Money is a global icon and could sell out Wembley fighting Matthew Hatton.:deal

    Yeah but the Brits like to boo him. He talked all kinds of smack in the UK before the Hatton fight, meanwhile Pacquiao was so damn humble during his trip there. I'd suspect Pac would get the lion's share of the cheers. Floyd is a natural villain anyway.

    Most UK fans appreciate both guys, even the casual fans in Britain will be divided because they will best remember both guys for beating Hatton, who was our best for a long long time.

    Yeah, but fans LOVE to hate that **** just as much as they love a humble superstar.

    Don't nobody give a **** about all that humble bull****. Did Ali get famous by being humble? Hell no. People like mouthy, arrogant people. People in England only booed Money in respect of Hatton. Trust me, they all are intigued by Money. Money gives them something to talk about. Nobody has any good stories about Pac when he was in England.

    Yeah, but the question is who would draw more cheers. Floyd plays the villian role to perfection. People love to hate him. Love to boo him. Even gets booed in his hometown, Vegas

    Yes, a global icon. He's conquered the U.S, Mexico, South America, Europe, and if Pac steps his ass up, Asia will be next.:deal

    He only gets booed by Mexicans in Vegas when he fights a Mexican fighter.
