[Walt Liquor]

no he's not.....he's a star though, comparing him to tiger woods or jordan is moronic, kobe even

[Ko King 212]

What? Dude is a superstar. Cut the bull****. People like Shane and Cotto are stars. Manny and Floyd are superstars.

I'm mean do you dude watch espn. They talk more about Floyd then the whole sport of boxing. Whether it's food or bad.

Co-Sign

Mayweather is a star (i hate him) but he is a star none the less...

Superstar?? - No


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

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...

all 20 of those people know michael jackson, michael jordan, and elvis though... thats the difference.

They would all know what each of them did specifically.

Not 13 out of 20, and some question exactly what he even did.

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

THE E.K. INFLUENCED "IS MAYWEATHER A SUPERSTAR??" POLL: OKAY a couple nights ago at my gym I polled twenty people, men and women, between the ages of 17 and 62...the night before, former amateur star Eric Kelly (National Golden Gloves Champion from Brooklyn, NY) says Mayweather IS a superstar...I disagreed...I say ALI, LEONARD AND TYSON were "Superstars"...ELVIS, Michael and Jordan were/are "Superstars"...but Floyd is not exactly one (yet?)...a "Star" yes...but a SUPERSTAR? Nah...so I went to my gym tonight and took it to the people and polled 20 non-boxers from the gym...

I asked each of them if they ever heard of the following three people: Floyd Mayweather Jr., Derek Jeter and Enrique Iglesias.

The results are as follows: All 20 had heard of Derek Jeter and Enrique Iglesias. 13 of the 20 had heard of Mayweather.

Now, for the record, after I asked them that question I pressed them -dug a little deeper- on Pretty Boy Floyd.

One female, aged 39, told me that the truth of the matter was the reason she knew who he was because as luck would have it she heard a news story about him just yesterday about him owing millions in taxes. She also said her husband is an amateur boxing coach at the Coast Guard Academy and she heard him mention Floyd's name before.

Another female, aged 40, originally answered yes when I asked if she knew who Floyd was but...then she asked me if he boxed out of my gym (the one we were standing in at that moment here in Connecticut). (LOLOL, seriously)

A 24 year old female said she had heard of him but then asked me if he was a middleweight. A 33 year old male said he knew he was a boxer but that was all he really knew.

The 61 year old female said she knew him but when pressed she asked me if he was a wrestler or a boxer.

The one person who seemed to really know something about him more than the fact that he is in fact a boxer was the 17 year old boy who told me, "yeah, I know who he is, he's a sick boxer!!"

Finally the 38 year old who said she knew who he was admitted that the only reason she knew who he was is because she was with her husband at the Berto-Ortiz fight last week at Foxwoods and they introduced Floyd and 50 Cent to the crowd and she remembered his name from that.

Also, almost each person who answered yes also said that to tell me the truth they know his name and that he is a boxer but if he were to walk in the gym at that very moment they wouldn't be able to pick him out and recognize him as Floyd Mayweather. If it was Jeter, yes, but Floyd ...no.

So I would say, strictly based on this unofficial and very random polling today, that Floyd is a very recognizable name at this point but a SUPERSTAR?? No, not exactly. A great boxer YES but an instantly recognizable face? Not exactly. They all loved Enrique, though, and one person even named some of Enrique's dad's song LOL (Julio's duet with Willie Nelson comes to mind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcfzjWsNAbs << ENJOY!!!

I consider Floyd a great light wieght but since his move in wieght I consider him a cherry picker who fools the low iq boxing fan. Fighting a wash up no stamina Delahoya, Can't fight without Roids 39 year old Mosley, A small 37 year old Light wieght Marquez who was out wieghed by at least 15 to 20 pounds at fight night and an Over hype Hatton who was schooled by Collazo. This resume dosn't make you great only in your mind

You seriously have hurt the sensitive vaginas of Mayweather fans with this one.
