    pacfags always like to say emmanuel being known worldwide helps the total revenue generated from his fights top Mayweather's total, but Floyd was way ahead of emmanuel in forbes

    When Pacquiao finally gets busted using PED's he will become even more popular than Floyd or Tiger Woods combined then precede to be the biggest joke in boxing . Manny is going to let his people down.

    All that worldwide "popularity" must not be doing much for emmanuel's revenue. He trailed way behind Floyd in Forbes list of best paid athletes.:lol::lol::rofl:rofl:patsch

    90% of Pacquiaos interest comes from the Phillipines and the UAE

    Mayweather's interest comes from the USA, Europe and Mexico

    What I'm saying is, Floyd is big in PPV markets

    Manny is big in places they don;t buy large numbers of bouts

    Funny thing is, Mayweather gets as many hits from SE Asia than he does the USA

    Have you ever considered that you're the people putting the $$$$ in his pocket?

    Phillipines is the country that looks up Mayweather the most.
    What a surprise

    Haters gonna hate.

    It's no fantasy pal hence why I used "When". You don't go from ordinary to extraordinary . You don't do the stanky leg from getting hit by JMM to walking through bigger fighters with more power punches. He's roughly the same weight he was fighting now when he fought JMM. The difference is EPO.

    As I stated, that's because Mayweather's popularity is evenly spread

    He's pretty popular in:

    USA
    Europe
    Mexico
    Canada

    Pacquiao's popularity is not evenly spread.

    The vast majority of interest (90%+) comes from SE Asia, which is not a PPV market

    For Pacquiao to match Mayweather, financially, he needs to break markets like the UK

    Boxing is the 2nd biggest sport in the Philippines (after Basketball)

    Even without Pacquiao his numbers would still be large

    just fyi

    Come on man

    Look at Floyd's hits from the Phillipines, before Pacquiao vs. De la Hoya

    They have gone up about 900% in the last 2 years
