    So after the big fight, which fighter do you think will lose more fans if their fighter loses? I sure as hell hope it won't be a draw but conspiracy theorists think it just might be so they can milk the whole thing and go for another fight probably in September but lets just say it was a clear decison for one of them.

    I personally think Floyd loses more fans because a lot of them are hung up on the zero. A lot of people give him a pass for all the questionable stuff he does outside the ring because he's an undefeated champion. Pac on the other hand, is followed by people because he seems to be a genuinely nice guy, although he's no saint.

    Pacs fans idolise him. Win or lose they wont be going anywhere

    I doubt Floyd fans would either

    Either way if its close there will be endless bickering to look forward too :nut

    That's actually a good point. The die hards from both sides are predicting a total beating in favor of their respective fighters. What happens if the fight is actually close and could have gone either way?

    im expecting pac to retire win or lose to be honest but floyd would lose more fans if he lost no doubt about it.

    Aside from MVC, blizzylizz, markq and their 30 ALTs, does floyd have fans?

    pugsy floyd only has around 6 million followers on twitter, while manny has 1.7m. I'm a fan of both, but you're clearly a pac nutrider.

    I don't think either guy will 'lose' fans. If Pacquiao was going to 'lose' fans it would have happened after the JMM KO. Personally I would never stop being a 'fan' of a fighter simply because they lose a fight. That sounds ridiculous.

    Am I the only one who thinks this could be a draw? Floyd would still be undefeated, and a rematch in September would make the same if not more money. You start throwing around 400-600 million and anyone can be bought

    if it's a draw there's a high probability that the fight was rigged.

    How did Floyd become one of the highest paid athletes not just in boxing, but in sport?

    I find it very unlikely that people pay good money to watch him lose.

    It does sound ridiculous but unfortunately it happens. That's what frontrunners are.

    If the fight was a draw, Floy-Joy would storm off to his bedroom and cry for a week insisting he hates everyone.

    A draw means his record is blemished. It's as good as a loss. So, not an option for you conspiracy weirdos.

    If either fighter loses fans just because they get beat then the fans were not worth having.Some of the ****e posted on here is tragic at times.Im no Floyd fan but will respect and admire him wether he wins or loses and the same goes for Manny.
    Only casuals chop and change fighters due to results and who gives a **** about them?
