Most Seached Boxers in Google, Top 100

Manny Pacquiao, riding a wave of unprecedented popularity, sits atop a worldwide list of boxing's biggest stars.

For the first time ever, using [url]Google[/url] Keyword Search technology, the Top 100 stars in the sport have been assessed, based on popularity
and public interest throughout the world.

The methodology used in this survey is the same used for over a decade by internet marketing experts to determine trends in popularity and market awareness. The [url]Google[/url] Keyword Tool determines how many monthly searches are initiated on [url]Google[/url] for specific words, names, or phrases across the world. The results are regarded by the marketing industry as a fair indication of popularity and name awareness. For the sake of this study, and to allow for natural fluctuations in publicity as fights approach and pass, results were tabulated and averaged over the course of four months (US search totals were used to break ties)

-- One thing is for sure, [url]Manny Pacquiao[/url] is king. Along with Pacquiao's popularity, all those related to him also enjoy great boosts in search action.

-- Also interesting is the fact that David Haye outdid both Klitschko brothers overall. His firm #3 spot was one of the survey's biggest surprises.

-- James Toney's #5 slot is due almost entirely to his brief stint with the UFC.

-- One point worth noting is that Amir Khan's totals may be slightly off based on the fact that there's also an Amir Khan who is a very famous Indian movie star. To counter this fact, India was excluded from the Khan search totals.

-- Major popularity in their home countries led to inflated world status in several cases, especially with Arthur Abraham (#11), Danny Green (#17), and Felix Sturm (#20).

-- Contrary to popular opinion, UFC stars do not dwarf, nor do they even significantly outperform boxing's stars. A random, small sampling of MMA fighters showed very little difference between the two sports: (Brock Lesnar: 301,000, Fedor Emelianenko: 165,000, Anderson Silva: 165,000, Cain Velasquez: 90.500, BJ Penn: 74,000 Georges St. Pierre: 49,500, Jose Aldo: 33,000, Frankie Edgar: 22,200)
