    thats like asking who is the top basketball player in the world right now

    lebron james and then everyone else isn't even close to him on that pedestal

    in this case mayweather is the god of the pedestal and then everyone else is way under him...other than pacman

    PPV sales in USA Mayweather has the edge but World wide I think Pacquiao is more popular though not by much.

    The question was "Who has the most FANS?" This isn't even up for debate. Casuals buy a Mayweather fight to see him get knocked out, only hardcores appreciate his boxing skills. Meanwhile, the Philippines has about 95 Million people living there, and not much else to root for. So it's Manny by a long shot.

    If it's popular as in people who like them then it's Pacquaio then probably Wlad. If it's popular as in well known Floyd is u there with them.

    Numbers for what ? PPV in America ? I assume the OP meant most popular worldwide.

    I wouldn't say Floyd is the most popular. Look up the definition of the word.

    Popular suggests that you're suitable to many.

    Floyd is a boxer's boxer. The majority of the population doesn't like him since they don't grasp boxing well enough to understand his style

    Floyd's the man among boxers and amateurs. His product generally isn't for the average joe who hasn't ever laced

    I rather be among a niche market than the mainstream market. A niche market usually has a greater proportion of people who know their **** than the mainstream market.

    Yeah there is that but Manny has got an entire nation behind him, Floyd hasn't. Floyd is probably better known than Manny in the UK though.And he's very popular amongst boxing fans despite being a bit of a bell end.

    People clearly don't know the meaning of the word "Popular".

    It means to be regarded with favour, admiration and affection. CLEARLY the most popular is Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather gets more PPVs not because he's popular but because he's hated by many and notorious as well, people want to see him lose.

    Who is the most marketable? Floyd Mayweather.
    Who is the most popular? Manny Pacquiao by some way - and if we bring in global popularity in Asia into the equation then it's no contest. On a global scale Pacquiao is FAR more popular...

    Look up the definition people - I long for the day for some ***** objectivity on something related to Mayweather - jeez

    Boxing isn't for everyone, so Floyd isn't for everyone.
