    What's more, it's a keyword report, for one month. Not one year.


    I think the links clearly show that athletes hit levels spike when they actually...........errr fight!

    Mayweather hasn't fought in nearly 12 months

    ohhhh you can drink alright. My second and best deployment so far my ship wound up in singapore. You just get your ass beat with a cane if you get arrested for being stupid drunk and they'll fine you for just about anything.

    Athlete - Tiger Woods

    Team - Yankees

    Sport - NFL

    Boxer - at the minute, it's Pacquiao, but as I said, web hits are based on how much you compete. When Mayweather competes, it's him

    Hard to say, how do you measure "biggest"? Money, positive view, media attention, combination?


    Kobe, Lebron, Tiger and Peyton are all up there.
    Tiger has the money. Peyton probably in positive views.

    Overall? Hard to say.

    It's Tiger by a long long distance.

    He gets nearly 3x as many hits as second place

    Errr, it's a great place to live if you have a lot of money.

    Pretty lousy, for people who don't.

    If you want to buy a house in Singapore, you're talking $2 million US, minimum.
    That's how expensive it is.

    You basically have to earn more than half a million bucks a year, to afford a home.

    People do drink - a lot of people just can't afford to.

    Beer, in Singapore, is about $25?

    If Tiger competes, the Sunday viewership of any golf game sets records.

    The industry as a whole knows that Tiger in the top 3 of Sunday matches is a big deal. Sponsorship and attention skyrockets when that happens. Many top golfers already are expressing their desire to see Tiger to get back on top ASAP.

    Golf may not get the hundreds of millions of viewers but based on the household income of your typical golf fan, that matters less.

    Yeah, man, a lot of sailors in Singapore!

    You go down to the beach, there's a queue of 200 ships waiting to get into dock. Like going for maybe 100 miles?

    He's right by the way.

    People generally don't drink in Singapore as it's

    1: too expensive
    2: if you get drunk, you've got a good chance of doing 3-4 weeks in a prison cell if you do anything stupid

    People are pretty responsible there

    You've got to go with Tiger

    You may not believe this, but Golf is also the most searched sport as well.

    He's the most searched athlete, in the most searched sport, and has the most money..................

    Tiger gets something like 3 million hits a month.

    That's 10x Mayweather/Pacquiao

    I went on a drinking night, with my cousin in Singapore (we're both foreigners).

    Seriously, we had a crowd of people around us, at the bar, filming us on their phones!

    They were probably thinking

    "Yeah, these guys are going to jail"

    Women are a bit snobby in Singapore as well.

    Well, if you're not a millionaire.

    They're really old fashioned.

    They won't let you take them out on a date, until you've spent at least 2 grand on them
