That is one of the reasons why he won't be a PPV star. Being a good fighter isnt enough to capture audiences.
Garcia isnt particularly an exciting fighter all the time and guy has no personality. He sounds like a joe blow mexican kid and he is too ugly.
Hate on me all you want but those are the reasons why he wont be a major star in this sport.
He thinks Lomahenko fight is PPV? Lmao..
Mikey has the same problem I had in middle school are you mexican enough? Its a dumb problem especially on the boarder states theres this imaginary line that divides Mexican and Mexican American (Chicanos). Apparently theres some unwritten rule book that you have to act a certain way to be considered Mexican. Its dumb but truth is the truth Mikey will never get the support of the true mexican fans but with some creative promoting any thing can happen
I was going to say this.
Explain Canelo's "it" factor. Is that code for appealing to gay fans and women?
Probably. Notice that every media appearance he's in all the way up to his ring walk he's always looks like he's ready to model.

There's no unwritten rule, you do have to act like a Mexican to be considered a Mexican by Mexicans. Nothing stupid or out of the ordinary about that.
Hardly anybody in boxing today has that PPV "it" factor besides Canelo. Maybe Tank if they keep building him.

Mexicans ask the most out of their fighters and generally don't hugely support their more technical fighters. Mikey's far from boring but he's not the gutsy type they tend to favor.
Not being racist. Jus saying matter of factly.
I agree
he won't be a star
He doesn't have the style that actually entertains the casual fans
and he doesn't actually connect with the mexican crowd
the real mexican crowd not the mexican americans
To be a ppv star, you got to have a combination of things. Pacquiao may look like a little troll but he has a story behind him and overcame many odds earlier in his career.
Oscar Delahoya was a gold medalist and his looks helped alot. He was one of the first fighter to attract loads of females to boxing matches.
Canelo too.. as a fighter he is isnt special but he has the looks. Dont underestimate appearance.
Mikey garcia is dime a dozen
He'll never become a major star but he can definitely reach Juan Manuel Marquez level if they continue to promote him properly and he continues to win and eventually move up to WW. But I don't think him being a free agent is really going to help grow his brand, he's the type of fighter that needs promotion. If him and Crawford continue winning I can see it being built as a PPV of similar caliber to Ward vs Kovalev.
He doesn't have a forehead, but he's not really ugly. Broner is way uglier and he's a big name. Even Pacquiao is ugly.
Every fighter wants to be on ppv main events. Its where the big money is
Can't blame em for.putting it out there
But yh the ppv era in america is over except for canelo
