    There is a reason why Floyd plays the villain. People always buy his fights to see if he will lose.

    so i'm gussing this is in line with PBF being a bigger PPV draw than Pac?

    gives PBF more reason to outprice himself out of a fight with Pac i guess...

    I'm from the UK and was one of the many fans who tried to get into Peacocks gym to see Floyd. Who wouldn't wanna see a great fighter.

    Though sorry to break it to you but Pac for sure has more fans over here in the UK. Just cause many fans turn out to a training session doesn't mean he is the biggest support boxer ever.

    Over here we turn out in numbers for many many sports, so cool down man.

    It was a bigger turn out than I expect ... I didn't think he would get any love in the UK.

    Limited my arse :patsch

    If anything, the Pacman is the most renowned boxer in the world at the moment, and therefore it can be said that he actually has the most fanbase.

    Remember, there are not that many known Asians in a sport that is typically white and black orientated, historically. So, this is the first time that an entirely new continent is being attracted to someone that is the best at what he does, and that brings in added attention.

    Therefore, in my mind, with SE Asians being aware of him, and the US being aware of him, as well as the Europeans, I'm reckoning that Manny Pacquiao has the most fanbase of any boxer at the moment as he transcends the typical areas of support.

    And you can add, people, regardless of location, are merely attracted to excellence, and the Pacman has that in spades.
