    I haven't said America once, since america is not international in itself.
    Having more broadcasts for the UFC (not McGregor alone) suggests he's more popular? No it doesn't.

    Do you have sources for boths international broadcast?

      Well, show me any other athlete who has 14 million followers on instagram but only gets 30k likes on their photo in 8 hours like Floyd's last photo.

      Well they have and Dana White said it only yesterday on The Herd when he offered Floyd the 25million.

      Mate, Conor McGregor exploded in 2015 - He did a world tour in '15. and he has received national press in the UK especially since '13 in most of the major sundays.

      All numbers are not at all with Mayweather. It's simply not true.
      Why are you dismissing followers but counting likes? I don't understand. McGregors followers are more active, how does that mean he's more known and bigger star? The evidence (followers) suggests he isn't.

            Mcgregor is popular, and the hottest star in ufc, but ronda rousey according to dana white was the biggest star bigger than conor, if ronda kept winning she would be the draw, breaking floyds numbers. Ronda was getting so famous and hyped even having nfl football players and tyson thinking she could whoop men
            Yeah that's true Ronda Rousey was more popular than McGregor definitely. She was in films and ****

            But that died a relatively quick death.

            Conor lifeline isn't going to last much longer.

                Either they were being managed but the dumbest fools in history or you're completely delusional.
                Floyd fans are the most delusional fans. They don't think straight when it comes to Mayweather.

                  Says the guy who said his opponents were bringing in 50% of the fans

                  Bringing in 50% of the fans but taking a 10% purse split. I want what you're smoking.

                    White and Mayweather have been trash talking each other for years.

                    Honestly if I was to point the finger on whose fake - it would be White.

                    To quote, Dana white, he is wrong. Mayweather has reached international stardom and is known around the world globally. Like c'mon... he was ranked the highest paid athlete for the past years

                      How can anyone with a single brain cell even entertain the thought? Mayweather/Pac was a fight pretty much everyone who doesn't live in a remote location knew was happening. When the hell has McGregor had that sort of exposure?
