The Power Of Pacquiao

[XaduBoxer]

I can only speak for my area where I live and who I hang out with, but

Commonly spoken names are: ODLH, Kobe, Shaq, A-Rod, Beckham, Henry.

When I bring up Pacquiao to the average Joe I hang out with the ask 3 or 4 times how to pronounce it and then ask if he's any good. I am sure in the Phillipines and anyone worldwide that follows boxing even casually or occasionally would know him, I haven't met that many people that know who he is. Where I live though boxing is not very popular anymore.

I do however find it funny that someone would write an article that says basically "PAC is popular" not exactly investigative journalism, kinda one of those things that goes without saying if it's true.

I can say that PAC is very popular in the internet worldwide... Just like in the internet boxing forums, for example in this forum, PAC is heavily discussed.

I remember PACQUIAO made it to Yahoo's top 5 list of most search names/words...

And if a internet boxing website carry any news about PAC, it will surely get a lot of hits. I can even sense that some boxers called out PAC just to have their name in the news. One of the latest is Amir Khan. Maybe this is the workings of the management of those boxers. They wanted some free publicity of their own boxers so why not call out PAC.

Of course he is heavily discussed here, you post a new topic about him every 20 minutes.

20 minutes is not true... I posted the other topics yesterday...
