Forbes, Facts & Fiction:Pacquiao ranked as more popular than Tom Cruise but less than Mayweather,Jr.

One may recall his elation in showing off his singing ‘talent’ on late night American TV a few months ago, offering his rendition of “Nothing Is Going to Change My Love for You” by Glenn Medeiros on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”. And sure, it electrified to a rousing ovation, at least from his own fans present at the said show. Take this: boxing’s biggest name, Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao, is a pop star, actor and politician in the Philippines. In the world’s most powerful celebrities, Forbes ranks him higher than Tom Cruise, Adam Sanders, George Clooney and even distances ahead of the American famous book author, Stephen King, but lower than his formidable foe in boxing, Floyd mayweather, Jr. Posting No. 55 among 100, of which Winfrey Ophrah still dominates, is phenomenal considering his foreign origin and social disparity with the rest of the Hollywood-makers. Forbes breaks down its statistical analysis, defying the fictionary concept ranking influences.
