I know people hate seeing things about Pacquiao, but this is great

I obviously love other fights, but when it gets down to it, they may be 2 people, but how much of the HBO revenue is garnished because of their fights in comparions to other fights, how many regular-non boxing fans know other guys as well as they know Pacquiao and Mayweather? I am a huge supporter of Pacquiao, and I only come to his defense, and maybe go over the top, when people make stupid arguments about why he isn't as good as he clearly is. People love to hate the #1 guy, and the better they are the more people hate them, and its frustrating to watch. I just don't feel this is fair when english fighters have overhyped Hatton and Calzaghe, Americans with Jones and Mayweather and others, why should Filipino's be able to talk about PAcquiao? I just like staying on one forum, my favorite list goes straight to the general boxing forum, so forgive me if I don't like having to switch forums to talk about the most relevent fighter in the world.

Must be a real chore!

The board was created, not because of Pac Haters, but more because of Pac Lovers

Look at this way the guy now his own forum on the best boxing site on the planet

What BigH said. And not only that, but chances are pretty good you aren't going to have someone(s) come in here and make every thread about their fighters of preference. I considered it for a minute, just for shit-n-giggles, then thought, what a waste of damn effort and time that would be.

So here, as a pac fan also, I can enjoy reading pac stuff. Other board, I can keep up to speed with the rest of the boxing world. Wunnerful system if you ask me. I think you hard core fans got it pretty good. Should appreciate the effort and consideration from Saddo put forth for you guys, imho.
