If you MUST vote but don't follow politics and you were white...you would probably vote for McCain...on the other side of the "ying-yang'"
If you were black , you would probably vote for Obama......
However, if you knew a lot about politics...then you would "weigh" the difference and choose the best candidate for the job at hand...
To answer your question...
If you chose 100 blacks that were not exactly loyal boxing fans...I think they would choose PBF...
But 100 blacks that are loyal boxing fans...I think they would pick Manny over PBF...
So I guess it depends on whether they are boxing fans or not....and not by their race.....|||I think I should point out Klitschko is also considered the best in the world and is also not hispanic or black.

|||For those who say that Pacquiao avoided black fighters, watch early in his career, when he was campaigning at the 122lbs. division. he fought south african fighter, Lehlohonolo Ledwaba, Dominican Republic, Agapito Sanchez and Colombian, Jorge Julio.
Those are three former world champions. They are not necessarily, exactly black american fighters but fights like them. It is unfortunate to some of those critics, that currently in the lower weight class the biggest names are hispanics and asians. And Pacquiao being the best fighter right now, of course, will choose the biggest names out there, that's how it works in boxing..
In fact, Manny is willingly open to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr., but floyd decided to fight JM Marquez instead, so it's not Manny's fault.
Regarding if Pacquiao was a black fighter, i think he will share the popularity, but slightly more popular than mayweather because of his boxing style, exciting and aggressive. That how it goes with some countries.
And here in Philippines, the most popular are Donaire and Pacquiao than Gorres and Penalosa because they are more exciting fighters.|||First of all, Pac never avoided black fighters. As he's always said, he'll fight whoever his promoter brings on the table, and that's what he's been doing all along. Manny is basically a very nice fellow. He's not one to call out names and talk trash. For him, boxing is purely a job that gives him livelihood and the opportunity to bring honor to his country, the Philippines. As long as the "price is right", as he'd usually say, he'll get in the ring with anyone - Hispanic, Black or Asian.
Now, to answer your question, I think Pacquiao transcends race or skin color. Just like Ali, he's at home wherever he fights because he knows there will be people rooting for him. If he fights Floyd Jr., most Americans, whether black or white, will support their own, that is, Mayweather. But there are some Americans out there who'll root for Manny too due to his great skill and his humility. It is a known fact now that Pac has developed friendships with some known American athletes, actors and even politicians. The guy is just awesome.|||I think he wouldn't be as popular if he was Black. There have been so many great black fighters and champions already. He would just be another of them. But the fact that he is Filipino makes him so much more popular. There's simply never been one. He has a whole nation behind him. If he was Black, would Africa be behind him the way the Philippines are behind Pacquiao? I don't think so.|||IN GENERAL, most AAs act *********. This is not racial, nor is it meant to generalise all AAs. It is just the statistical truth
edit: wow they blocked the word n!ggardly, that is a perfectly legitimate word in english vernacular
edit: hey AMERICASFAVORITETHUG, my name is vinny bag of donuts, not bag of dirtynuts. You disrespectful unmannered fool. Your mother didn't raise you properly
Respond to me buddy, i'm waiting to read your clever jocky taunts|||I DONT GIVE A $HIT WHAT PEOLPLE THINK ABOUT PACQUAIO.. THE TRUTH IS HE IS THE POUND FOR POUND CHAMP!!!
WHAT IF? WHEN IS? LETS PRETEND.. SHUT THE FUKC UP! .. NO NO NO NO... HE IS FILIPINO AND THE MOST EXCITING FIGHTER SINCE TYSON LEFT.. AND HE IS FILIPINO FROM THE PHILIPPINES.. ACCEPT IT.. HE WILL KNOCK OUT MAYMONKEY IN 5 ROUNDS...|||You better believe they would love the lil guy.However,many blacks prefer the welterweight and heavyweight division champions better.|||Every race is proud of their heroes that are of the same race.|||If he was better than Mayweather, then yes.|||Sure if you say so.....|||yes he would be..|||i think he would|||who cares man stfu|||If you could eliminate race and look at both as fighters and individuals, you will see that Manny's accomplishments FAR outweigh Floyd's. Both have earned Millions.
The big difference is that Manny COULD be brash but chooses NOT to be. His money would take him MUCH further back home than Floyd's would take him here. The Philippines is a beautiful place and Manny could live ANYWHERE, yet he chooses to live among his people in his community.
As a fight fan, I can give Floyd credit ONLY for his talent and some for his accomplishments. I feel he has avoided the best in his division and claims greatness with no base. My opinion will change if he actually fights some of the best, regardless to whether or not he beats them.
By contrast, Manny gives MORE reasons to admire him. He has done a Tremendous service to his country and his people. There are many foreign fighters who come to the US and forget home. Manny as accomplished more than nearly all of them, yet he never forgot home.
I have been to the Philippines a few times and I was there after the second Morales fight. I have seen what Manny does for people back home. Floyd couldn't do that for Blacks because there are so many other Blacks who have accomplished more. Plus, he has already proven that he's in the sport for money only.
It's not a bad thing because, siyempre, he should not fight for free. However, it's hard to be proud of such a self-centered person. Personally, I like Shane Mosley better.
I give Floyd credit for his talent. I give Manny credit for his talent and a LOT more.
I've been a big fan of Manny since BEFORE the first Morales fight. I became a bigger fan during the second fight when I heard the interviews of each fighter.
Morales was the more accomplished and well known fighter. He said "I fight for me".
Manny was asked the same question. His response, "I fight for my country". THAT is when I knew he would win. How can you NOT be proud?
