yeah, but he did say "in the world". It could be one of those soccer things. Where it's the most popular sport in the world but in the USA, it's only mildly popular. Well, far less than it is in the rest of the world.
The difference is the final numbers only count US sales, correct? I mean, i know they get some money from everyone involved but when they say Oscar/Floyd did 2 million sales, they're only talking 2 million US sales, correct?
With that said, in the USA, Mayweather is the most popular fighter of the 2. He's a household name in more households. He knows how to market himself & is always on ESPN. Pacquiao, while popular in his own right, still lacks the self-promotional skills of Mayweather. It doesn't help that he doesn't speak the language either.
