Manny Pacquiao ranked 25 by Yahoo Sports as most influential boxing figure

I would rank Pacman #1 if we're talking about fan-wise.
This guy is a congressman now....enuff said.

 

its about right

 

Pac is not as popular as tiger woods, michael schumacher, leoni messi, ronaldo, michael phelps, Mike tyson, Nadal, Fedderah, Serena Williams, Shaq.

I could go on for ever. Worldwide pac is nowhere near as popular as these stars, boxing isn't even a big sport in europe or america in comparison to other sports like American Football, Tennis, Soccer, NBA

 

Fedderah iz da moss poppulah!

 

Nah! Bob Arum is. He's is influencing the Yahoo Sports 25th most influential boxing figure.

 

:rofl

 

how is that a joke? he's right pac is more influental worldwide than de la hoya who is just influental in certain parts of the US

 

good post :good










lol

 

Oscar made a lot of these guys box office stars.

 

without Oscar and his popularity in the sport, Pacquiao would not be the star he is. Their fight is what made Manny a superstar. Plus it is supposed to be about a person's influence on boxing not their home country. I think this ranking is one where the author caught "Manny fever". Oscar has influenced boxing from the beginning of his career, to the present and beyond. Manny has only recently become influential and as soon as he retires, it will probably decrease dramatically.

 

pacs wars and the brutal ko of ricky " cokehead" hatton is what made him a star.

 

Oscar wasn't as popular worldwide, but he was bigger in the US where the big money is.

 

The rankings aren't a popularity contest, but the person's influence on boxing. Get your heads out of ur butts Pacfans. Regarding total influence of boxing from top to bottom Oscar wins easily. This is not to discredit Pac at all.

 

I would also rank ODLH over Pac.
