Guess thats why neither Hopkins nor Mayweather could sell ppv without having a *name* to fight.

Not necessarily, all of us Filipinos LOVE the PACMAN but he also needs big name fighters to sell PPV.

Yet again, I get into a good thread late!

I don't think there is anything wrong with backing a fighter of your nationality. Just as long as if a debate comes up, people don't look through tunnel vision and can take the points against their fighter with respect.

Well thats the whole problem with it. I've seen and been guilty of it myself. And I am seeing it and perhaps doing the same for this next big one!!
