Is PBF a true "Superstar" in the truest sense??? Experiment...

[JHAVIS]

I would say he's a "star"...but a superstar could create pandemonium wherever he goes pretty much...Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson walking into a college dorm in their days would be INSANE, the kids would go crazy...I just wouldnt think PBF would get the same reaction...Ali stopped traffic in Times Square and at Piccadilly Circus in his hey-dey...

Come on man, nobody would get the reaction Michael Jackson would get walking into anywhere. But if You know anything about boxing period, you know the name Mayweather Jr. Like Ko King said" Mosley and cotto are stars, pac man and pbf are superstars.

Floyd fans want to change the meaning of super star, too. They think that if Floyd would get the same kind of fan frenzy that Justin Bieber, Brad Pitt, Beyonce and that Twilight dude would get. THOSE people are superstars.

SUPERSTARS DONT COME OUT IN DANCING WITH THE STARS YOU IDIOTS

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Also they tried to make a fight between Floyd and PAC for Nelson Mandela birthday celebration. They don't just do that with stars.

yes but by the same token...it didnt happen, they didnt bite...you can offer anything up but that doesnt mean they will get it accepted...

PBF may be a superstar in the Boxing Community - But that does transcend across the globe as a household name.


My personal breakdone (IMO):

Average - You and me - run of the mill people

Notable - Distinguished in your field of work

Nationally Recognized - Known to be on TMZ from time to time, and listed in magazines.

Star - Transcending popularity/Hate across the Globe

Super Star - Household name, you would be living under a rock if you don't recognize the name.


EXAMPLES:

Avg: Me
Notable: BIGPOPPAPUMP
Nationally Recognized: Most major celebraties
Star: Pacquiao, Mayweather
Super Star - Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan

You dont have to know anything about basketball to know michael jordan.

Thats called a superstar.

If you have to KNOW boxing... to KNOW Floyd.. then hes NOT a superstar.

Maybe a superstar in his own sport... sure... but not a superstar in general.

Jordan, Jackson, Tyson.... are superstars.


My grandma has no idea who floyd mayweather is... but shes def heard of mike tyson.

So u are saying they are BOXING Superstars then...and, listen, go to a COLLEGE DORM right now and Justin Timberlake, Usher, 50, and a hundred other superstars would get INSANE MJ-like reactions...Floyd wont...TYSON WOULD, though...the word "superstar" is overused...Floyd Mayweather CANNOT walk down Main Street USA and get a reaction...no way, no how...several of the people I polled admitted that they heard his name before but if he walked up to them they wouldnt know who he was...thats not superstar reaction...at ANY boxing match he would get a huge response...but a true "superstar" would get a huge response almost anywhere, expecislly out of his area of profession...

[Ko King 212]

So Manny and Floyd aren't superstars? Word, Really?

I guess it is what it is.

And he makes more money than all of them in 36 mins equals superstar

[THE REED]

And he makes more money than all of them in 36 mins equals superstar

No it doesnt.

Theres a billionaire in Mexico that owns a phone company.

Is he a superstar?

No.

Salary doesnt equal superstar.



Tysons broke = Superstar.

[THE REED]

If Floyd Mayweather was staing in line at the supermarket in my city, Erie Pa... in line with a bunch of middle aged women and men... maybe ONE would think he looked familiar.


If Brad Pitt was standing in the same line... the guy would be flocked.
