Re: Give BOXING a shot in the arm ...

As of today, boxer Manny Pacquiao slides further down to #8 spot... Maybe boxing fans are greatly outnumbered by the music fans, tech fans, politics fans, etc...

And Pacquiao's average rating is also going down... :confused:

Come'on boxing fans, let's show some force and vote for Pacquiao...

Just like your one sided love affair with JMM.

You maybe right... I'm not sure if Oscar Dela Hoya made it to this list?? (there were 100 people on this list)...

It might not be right for Pacquiao to be ahead of Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama on this list but can you accept too that Pacquiao is below moot, Rain or a Kagame on this list?? Tho I really doubt if boxing fans really have some voice in this type of poll designed for the mainstream population...

You didn't even know these people and I think you can't accept that a popular boxer is considered less influential than these "unknowns"...

Let's support boxing and vote for boxer Manny Pacquiao...

Ok, so I gather from Wikipedia that Rain is some kind of Korean pop-star. Still not sure about moot though.

Re: Give BOXING a shot in the arm ...

How is this a legit list with Britney Spears on it? She could walk down sunset blvd. naked and not make the front page of the tabloids anymore.

And I still don't know who moot is.

Gotta say Obama has a little more influence on the world than PAC.

I don't believe for a second that people will start watching boxing or that boxing as a whole will benefit from having Pacquiao on the list.

It would just be another thing for the talking heads.

Time magazine is legit and prestigious tho I admit the way the poll is conducted raised some questions...

Think of this, Pacquiao topping this list and considered the most influential person in the whole world... It will create a huge buzz how in the world a boxer is so influential in one's life... People will then start taking a closer look on boxing and boxers...

Re: Give BOXING a shot in the arm ...

This is by far the most bullshit list in the world, when a Korean popstar who most of the planet has never heard of tops the list. Also Paul Kagame is the President of Rwanda, SB, and holds considerable influence over much of the region of Central Africa due to his military history, and is seen as a kind of mini-Mandela/Mugabe depending on your political viewpoint. So he probably is more influential than Pacquiao. But not more than Barack Obama. But that list is a joke anyway

Could be a joke list...;D Time magazine spent a great deal of time, effort and money in having this "Top 100 Influential People" joke list every year for so many years now...
