LO freakin' L - You know how many people paid to see Floyd live for Bladomir - One fight where you can accuratley gauge his attraction? http://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2006-11-05-mayweather-baldomir-wbc-welterweight_x.htm 9,427 - He can't even fill 10K seat arena let alone a 100. He got 325,000 people at that PPV. (source http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2657809 ) You guys just regurgitate his hype!
. . . . not to mention the Hollywood movie stars who lined up to see the guy in his dressing room and have their picture taken with him. . . . and what about the whole NBA team that went in there too? :roll: :think . . . are those people Flipinos too?
just to show pacs fame. A cousin of mine who worked in a cargo ship traveled around latin america and whenever they visited some cities there and the hawkers and sales people found out that their filipinos, they always mention pac. they always say. very good fighter. filipino. apparently, they have heard of this small guy who have been whooping the ass of a lot mexican boxers and gained their respect along the way.
Why don't you try this in Yahoo forum and see the number of turn outs and gauge if all the respondents are all Filipinos...I'm sure you're gonna be surprised!!!...
How many PPVs did Floyd? I think that Pacman has a broader base than Floyd. Pac is a nice and humble guy. You cannot feel anything else but sympathy for the guy.
Yep. I agree. Limited to the planet Earth as far as we know. Might be a while before the TV waves reach other civilizations.
Pac can pack a 100k stadium in Philippines, Floyd couldnt pack that anywhere in the world, including his homeland. :deal
Stadiums, cockpits, theaters, restos, etc. all over the Philippines are full to the rafters watching Pacquiao fight in live telecast. I can say more than a million will come to see Pacquiao fight in big football stadium.
