Why is Canelo still a star?

[Sheikh]

He won't be a star much longer his pay-per-view numbers will continue to drop by fighting bogus competition

[MulaKO]

He fights everybody but the guys fans want him to fight.

Even more, many fans are annoyed and angry on him because of ducking Benavidez, the guy fans believe he should fight.

He doesn`t give the fans fights tehy want, which should be a definition for somebody that should be a star. His style is also not very entertaining.

How is he somehow still a star is beyond me.

Simple
Cause guys like you make threads about him
Keep it up

This is pretty much it. He's earned the right to choose now and he's basically just a name. Whenever the casuals speak, they say, HEY, CANELO FIGHTS THIS WEEKEND! "Against who?", WHO CARES, IT'S CANELO!

I'm not sure the casuals would even ask against who, lol. As long as they see their man, that's what they'll tune in for. They could probably pay to see him shadow box.

A champion doesn't earn the right to fight bums consistently. He can do that if he is not holding any major belt, but clogging a whole division with his nonsense, I don't think so.

Canelo says it’s all about getting the money right for him. He can’t stand giving people their best pay day. He resents it. He says everyone wants pay day from him. Yet that’s all he ever admits to wanting himself. At least underdogs rise up to fight him. Sure they get paid, but the least possible. Canelo makes big bucks fighting big underdogs. Dragging people up. He needs opponents to get paid. Oscar new that and he was easy to make fights with. His resume looks better and better over the years no matter what you think of him. Oscar would have at least dropped weight himself if he were to fight a Bud Crawford. Plus it would have happened already.
My brother always uses the Scarface quote to describe Canelo. “You would be a better person if it was given to you.” He sold ice cream as a kid once, and he’s hated the world ever since. He thinks he beat Bivol. Bivol is going to fight Artur. Canelo has to admire that no matter what he doesn’t say. Nelo is a great fighter. Just ask him. Stepping up vs Berlanga.

Because he's the best & most popular Mexican fighter, which means he will always have an audience.

This is probably the right answer.

If he was for example English or Ukrainian, he would be forgotten already.

Great marketing to brain wash the masses.

[BodyBagz]

Because he still has the best resume of all active fighters.

Oscar De La Hoya made him a star. It is such a shame he is so ungrateful to delahoya. If it wasn't for De La Hoya no one would know him.

[Willow The Wisp]

He's recently hit the 300 million net worth mark.
Gee, its lonely at the top.

Floyd never fought who people wanted him too. But was in boxing a star, even if average person in street didn't know him
