    Floyd has a case since he was able to sell 1M PPV (is this official?) and his skills is among the best, if not the best. Some say he should be the face of boxing because he can speak English (as compared to Pac) and his life outside the ring is anything but boring.

    Pac also has a say since he is the most exciting fighter out there and even Nike chose him to be the face of boxing. He has Nike commercial together with Kobe and Federer who are basically the face of their sport. If Floyd is flamboyant, Pac is the opposite as he is humble.

    The Klits also has a say since they are the champs in the most prestigious division. Historically, the HW division is always the face of boxing, save for a few megastars from the lower weights (i.e. DLH era).

    So who do you think is the face of boxing now?

    Hard to argue against PBF who is in commercials, TV shows, and guest appearances, but his popularity is high in the U.S. Media. Same could be said for Pacquiao in the Philippines with his movies, song albumbs, tv shows, and foundations, but Pacquiao is also loved by other countries such as Thailand and Mexico.

    Depends where you live.

    Because neither the Klitschkos, Pacman or Floyd would get much recognition at all here.

    Probably the most well-known guys would be like Hatton, Calzaghe and Haye or the retired veterns like Bruno, Lewis and 'Enry. Non-UK, it would still be people like Ali and Tyson.

    In the U.S. it's hard to say, Floyd may have a slight advantage. But if you look worldwide it has to be Pac.
