who is a bigger star: Canelo Alvarez or Conor McGregor

The only thing that can save Boxing is PBC.

PBC can't save Boxing, I fear that Boxing is far too gone now. Boxing will just live off of its Core fans much like Hockey does but it is no question that the UFC is in a better place going into the future than Boxing is and will ever be. Dana White knows how to promote fighters and they know how to build STARS.

Jon Jones out, McGregor and Rousey steps up and become the face of his Brand then once he gets Jon Jones back the Brand becomes even more powerful with more star power!

Boxing it so out of touch it is hilarious, Boxing still don't take advantage of the internet like the should while you see UFC all on youtube they absolutely BLOW boxing away as far s views for their youtube content and also how they use Social Media.

Boxing been living off of Mayweather success and now that he is gone UFC smells blood and they will bury boxing with McGregor vs Aldo which I think will do better than Canelo vs Cotto and GGG vs Lemeiux

McGregor according to Twitter also - 701k vs. 527k

The exposure of being on CBS,NBC and ESPN is bigger than anything the UFC can do. UFC hurts it's exposure being on PPV. Their is no guarantee that McGregor or Rousey will be around for as long as Mayweather and Pacquio were.

Canelo not speaking English will hurt him in the long run even pac with his broken English was good for him and his exposure in the US. GGG and Wilder imo have the best chance of becoming the next may and pac imo.

Measuring star power by how much money they earn is not the most accurate approach because UFC earn a small fraction of the money they bring in. You would have to compare how much their respective events brought in.

As for the question, I do not now. I'm inclined to go with Canelo as boxing is more popular around the world.

Yeah that should have been done years ago, UFC already have the younger fight fanbase locked up. They find UFC to be just more entertaining overall, also a lot of MMA Gyms opened over the years and it is a lot of kids participating in it.

Not saying Boxing will die or anything but I think it has and will continue to fall behind MMA. Bellator scores better ratings on Spike than Boxing/PBC does that kinda tells the story IMO

lol way to manipulate the data, if you look at their overall career and not just his year canelo has been way more popular on google trends
