    Yeh boxing is popular in the UK it's just down to the fact that we've had a *** & lesbian dominated PC socialist goverment for the last 13 years in Tony Blair & his missis who view Boxing as an expession of freedom which must be eradicated at all costs except if you're for a ****stanie background as Amir Khan is then they all rushed up for the photo shoot to enhance there political social engineering multi-cultural agenda:fire

    We only had 2 free TV channels & Audley harrison ripped of the BBC who'll not show any boxing again regardless of the popularity & the BBC is finaced by tax payers + ITV is the other big independant & they'd rather feed the dumb masses "Dancing with the Stars" of Formula I, anything except boxing:fire Back in the 80's/90's when Duran/Hagler hightlights were shown after 10pm once the nagging bitches had it the sack these fights broke all viewing records & Benn/Eubank Benn/McClellan broke the bank. It's a PC doctine over here...the ****in *******s!!!

    Every guy in the street would love boxing to be back on free telly but it's down to cable now + it just don't get much journo ink anymore. It's massive here still as proved by Mayweather/Hatton + take into account that 35,000+ flew over to Vegas WITHOUT TICKETS!!!

    It's all been PC designed to curb our natural inclination too invade other country's:yep but it will never ever happen!! they cannot stop us!! never NEVER NEVER :lol:

    Nobody would recognise Pac as boxing is suppressed over here & if Pac walked the strrets of London he'd blend in with all the other foriegners, The only English that live in London are the ones who are poor & can't escape & these are confined to getto's (Council Estates/Human Zoo's)

    Mostly from the Hatton bout anyway. Khan is very well known in the UK...but not everyone follows his career, or his sparring partners.

    Did you see when Mayweather came to train in London? It would be like that for Pacquiao, as long as they knew he was coming. Anyone who follows boxing would immediately recognise him, but he wouldn't be swarmed if he was by himself. Not until people caught on who he was.

    Manny Pacquiao is pretty big among casual fans/sports fans in general. All my friends know who he is and have talked about him occasionally since the de la Hoya fight, with them learning more after each subsequent fight. A good few of my mates have him among their favourite athletes on their Facebook page...****ing nuthuggers. :lol:

    Generally Speaken Finns most of them does now have a clue who he is...
    But he is somewhat Recognized here. Like our state Newspaper sometimes have short article about him if he beats some name or moves up at weight divisions.

    At At Europe over all big guys are better known. He is definitely better known than Floyd Mayweather which doesnt mean much if that is the case.

    I can tell you nobody has become close what Iron Mike Tyson Was here....
    It is just unbelievable how big Tyson was.. They still fuken Speak About iron Mike, even the youngsters know him, know him better than Guys today fighting:yikes:good
