    Manny is indeed a Mega Star in the Phillipines, but just based on PPV #s, I think that across the world, PBF might be the BIGGER star.

    No, Floyd & Pacquiao are both mega-stars.

    Sure he is. How would you figure Pac to be a bigger star across the world? What do you base this off?

    Besides, ODLH, Tyson, and Ali were MEGA STARS.

    PBF and Pac are just stars.

    Like it or not Mayweather appears to be a more recognised star world wide.

    His several appearances on WWE alone will cement this. Do you know how big Wrestling is world wide? That is crazy exposure to people who never watch boxing or ever will.

    Pac is the bigger star in asia though without a doubt.

    Only 7 people here out of 63 who voted so far (or 11%) believed that Floyd is the only mega-superstar in boxing...

    Yes, Coach Freddie Roach also predicted that Floyd-JMM PPV will bomb...

    Roach said that a boring fight between 2 counterpunchers is on the table...

    I dunno, that Dancin' With the Stars screen time is tough. Alotta heads are gonna know you offa that and Mayweather 24/7's are serious. People at my job that don't even follow boxing watch those because he's entertaining. They never know what he or any of his crazy ass family will do or say next.

    Speaking from the UK I would say Pac is more known here than Floyd, but I dont suppose there is much in it.

    If you're talking who is more popular then thats not even a contest.

    Are you joking? Floyd is much better known over here, none of my mates know who pacquiao is...pac might have more fans among true boxing fans but he is barely heard of among the generally population. Alot of people hate floyd but he is seriously well known.

    Right now there are few mega stars in boxing.

    Mayweather Jr.
    Pacquiao
    Hatton
    Cotto

    I would call those 4 mega stars right now. Not too sure about Cotto but he's definitely a star if not mega.

    You seem to be obsessed with ANYTHING Mayweather Jr. says. I know he's a possible Pac opponent, stop acting like he ****ed your mother or something.

    Being a possible Pac opponent is good for the sport, it shouldn't threaten your virginity so stop acting that way.
