    yeah true true, but he did do a show with jimmy kimmel he seemed fine, obviously his English flow and slang cant relate to the American audience like floyd can but i think it brings a character which is selling for pacman.

    Jackie Chan managed well enough. Pac won't do the show circuit as he is avoiding providing answers to questions he doesn't want to be asked.

    You dummy, of course he HAS to work hard to be successful. The objective fact is he trains hard, works diligently to master his craft, stays in shape between fights, and promotes his fights like nobody's buisness. And a dumb mother****er like you spins his hard work as a negative.

    Pac is a draw because his management has done a very good job with his promoting and matchmaking since he moved up from 130. They've sold the little man fighting big men angle perfectly. Sure, he's an exciting fighter that's been in some great fights, but there are TONS of those out there that get little to no exposure. Pac has a good STORY.

    But his story wouldn't be improved any if he spoke english well, unless he's a phenomenally different guy than he appears to be. Sorry, but no one is going to tune into a talk show to watch a guy be nice, and humble, and talk about god supporting him. He doesn't have the sort of personality to grab people's attention. The same problem, as i said, that Shane has.

    Exactly, kimmel show took a gamble on that. Even when he went on, Kimmel had to interrupt and jump on the convo to keep it flowing. If Pac can speak very good English he would be all prime time talk shows.

    Movie stars get famous doing big movies, not interviews and guest appearances. China is also a big movie industry to begin with. Chan speaks better English than Pac too. lol.

    In boxing, you really need to promote yourself outside of boxing in order to be a superstar. If your great, your great but your personality needs to shine to the public and people cant relate to your personality if you cant communicate with them.

    I really enjoyed the video no bad making 1.3 million last year betting on basketball games I was surprised his knowledge about the regular players and the bench of every team. Some ******ed people think he's dumb and broke this guy is not just a great fighter he is an excellent business man.

    That absolutely makes no sense or trying hard to reach for something.
