Mythbusting: Pacquiao and Mayweather's popularity

wow thats why too expensive, I heard on the news a while back a guy being thrown in jail for having a little bit of weed in his pocket and that they execute you if you carry a lot of it with you.
Thats why I assumed it was kind of similair with alcohol.
I think I need to double check my pockets if I ever go to singapore just to make sure there isnt a crumb of weed in there.

 

Dont let Floyd find out this information he will use this in negotiations with pac

 

"Hits" don't mean popularity. People google Tiger Woods to make fun of him or to try to get a look at any of his 20 mistresses. While he may be #1 in popularity, it is not all good and it is not "by a mile" as some claim.

From my POV, watching ESPN and live sports all day and talking sports with as many people as I can, I'd say in no order the most popular athletes in the US today (looking over the whole sports landscape) would be: Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Shaq, Albert Pujols, Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Sidney Crosby, Landen Donovan, Shaun White, Lindsey Vonn, Michael Phelps, Roger Federer, Williams sisters, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Brock Lesnar.

 

Pac actually gets 40% more hits in the US overall using Google trends as a source, you were doing it all wrong. Looking at the relative search hits for each on their own is absolutely meaningless. You HAVE to superimpose the results (just put a comma between their names in the search bar) and then you get the search results relative to each other.

If you do this, you can see that the conclusions regarding Pac's popularity in the US are bogus:

Pac get's more search traffic Change the ranking, to see Floyd's most popular regions.

Export the csv file for the countries and you will see that Pac get's 40% more of the search percentage.

 

Not true at all.

Pac get's a much higher percentage of hits than Floyd when they fight.

 

I saw some dude at school rocking a manny pacquiao tee shirt ,

 

You "read an article". This guy gives you the direct data. You say "that's funny". Then you probably don't even get what is horribly wrong with your reasoning.

Typical. :roll:

 

Wrong. FMJ (or Pac) make the same amount of money from people buying fights to see them win or lose. So "hatred" does pay. Also, why do you think the saying was originated, "All publicity is good publicity?"

Manny is the most popular, but he just CONSISTENTLY can't generate the same revenue for his fights either in gate or PPV. You have to love the logic. :roll:
