    Since Pacquiao burst into the boxing world in his US debut against Ledwaba back in 2001, How was his impact in Boxing?

    He has millions of fans around the world same goes to Mayweather.

    As we all know that Mayweather likes to hype up his fights and talk trash to his opponents and is American.
    On the other hand there is Manny Pacquiao who is a Filipino and does not talk trash.

    Which of the 2 has attracted more media in the Boxing world?

    Well I think that we still don't know exactly who is more popular than who unless they both fight against each other.

    Pacquaio by far

    The casual non american boxing fan rarely knows who Mayweather is

    Actually, many of them know about Pacquaio

    For example, I'm a midschool teacher (don't give me crap for my bad grammar, english ain't my native language) and I asked my students once to write and draw a short story about ¨female success in jobs traditionally ruled by men¨

    One of the teams wrote a story about a female boxer, and the last line was ¨and she finally became champion of the world and was so good that she beat Manny Pacman Pacquiao¨

    That's when i realized that casual fans know about Pac

    In continental Europe Mayweather is unknown. 1/1000 would know that he's boxer.

    Pacquiao popularity is not even close to Floyd. You can ask everybody if they have eaten at KFC before and I bet that not a single one will say no.

    Its gotta be Pacquaio. He delivers more exciting fights as far as alot of people are concerned than Mayweather. Against better opponants and more regulary.

    Mayweather puts people off with his attitude but id like to think hes still respected for being such a quality boxer.
