    Oscar is articulate, well dressed, charismatic, with movie star looks. People come to see his fights because he was exciting but it was also a good event like an A list celebrity. He was able to combine all of that to gain popularity with the hardcore boxing fan aswell as the casual fan who are enamored with names like Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, Leonard etc.

    Pac is as exciting of a fighter as there have been, but thats about all his appeal amounts too compared to the conglomorent that encompasses Delahoyas popularity
    Think about Duran?? He doesn't speak English but he becomes as Popular at SRL because he defeated him. That's the same thing will Happen after Pac beats DLH. He's action in the Ring is his selling point. Not his Good looks. We're talking about Boxing right

    Pac's cross over appeal is just starting. He's too busy fighting Mexican Legends that why he can't crossover the Mainstream American Audience. Now it's different. He'll be fighting the most Popular Fighter in Boxing History. That's different that just fighting the most popular Mexican and He will be fighting at the weight Class where Regular American tune in (it's well documented that mainstream America don't care about the lower weight Class below 140).

    Pac already has Stallone, Tyson, Bruce willis, the entire Celtics Team as his Celebrity Fans. Winning against DLH will guarantee an influx of Celebrities in his next fights.
    You make good points... I just don't see him having the draw power Oscar has/Had.
    You are talking about a few ingredients that make Delahoya the draw that he is/was and looks, charm, charisma are a big part.. I'm sorry but Pac wont get there..

    Agreed... but nontheless... Pac has done very well for himself. For ANYONE to gain the starpower that ODLH has would be a feat unto itself.

    I wanna state that this isint an indictment on Manny his skills or his PFP#1 standing. It just takes a alot more than Boxing skill to get the kinda of attention and Stardom that Oscar has achieved.

    I'm not saying Pac will be as BIg as DLH. What I'm saying is Pac will carry the torch as the #1 Attraction that was Passed from Ali to Leonard to Tyson to DLH and now will be to Pacquiao.

    Could be Pac and I must apologize then, I thought you said Manny would be bigger than Delahoya is/was

    I will tell you this I dont think Pac can beat Delahoya, but I dont wanna get into that right now
