How Canelo can be a biggest boxing star if he doesn't have charisma AT ALL?

[boliodogs]

Lots of paying boxing fans don't care about charisma and English speaking ability. They care about watching a highly skilled, exciting, aggressive boxer win his fights in style and usually by KO. Canelo brings in the fans by the thousands. His fights make big money and he is paid big money to fight. That makes him a big star in spite of any lack of charisma and English speaking skills.

I guess things have changed since, now you gotta appeal to teeny boppers

canelo has been fighting in national tv since he was 17yo, and has only lost to floyd, of course he is popular, on top of that he looks and dresses well... he has always been more popular than chavezjr, imagine if canelo had a father like that?

Everyone knows it's his looks, my parents have a vacation home in Mexico and I am blond and yeah I speak Spanish and I know the struggle of the Indian looking Mexicans.
It is because he is a guero (white boy) if he wasn't he wouldn't be 1/16th as popular.
Look at the Mexican 168 champ, he's a good looking guy and has a lot more charisma than canelo but no one but real boxing fan know who he is.
And yeah even in Spanish when Canelo speaks he has absolutely no charisma.
It's all the looks

I'm not trolling, but that's BS

Canelo doesn't even know English, unlike some other non-US boxers who actually try to learn the language but Canelo don't even trying

I understand why McGregor is the biggest thing in UFC, the mother****er has a hell of a personality, I don't like him but I can't pretend like it's not true

Look at the boxing world now. Somehow, Canelo is the biggest star in boxing, the star with absolutely ZERO charisma, so the fact that he's Mexican and the fact that he has Floyd fight in his resume is the only reason why he's the biggest ppv fighter in boxing? I mean, really?

So you don't have to do much to become a biggest boxing star if you happen to be mexican and have a good, not great, but good skillset? You don't even have to have an entertaining personality?

Man, if a guy like this is a biggest boxing star at the moment, it means there's just no fighters in boxing who can be entertaining and charismatic outside the ring now and some people keep wondering why boxing is doing so bad nowadays

Alvarez's audience is heavily Hispanic, with the vast majority of his money being drawn from Mexico/Mexican audience; command of English is only crucial for him to launch as a crossover star.

How does Alvarez translate in Spanish to Spanish-speaking audiences; that's all that should matter, at this point.

[Canelo and GGG]

List of Mexicans great champs who werent draws is long ,only Oscar was ,and as a native Mexican Canelo can be first big mexican draw ever so it must be something about him,also he can fight and is good looking ,full pacage,also some ppl compere him too Pac and Floyd and its show his succes cuse this to are larger then live boxers,Floyd had no charisma at all ,but his sport succes was to big to ignore + he had lots of known opponets,Canelo had only Mosley(past it,on undercard),Floyd and Cotto so dont judge to fast ,he can break 1m twice this year with Jr and GGG.

Exciting fighter, combination puncher, high KO%, very good resume...its pretty simple.

Its better to walk the walk than talk the talk.

So a star in your eyes is someone with a big mouth who boxing puts people to sleep

[A.K]

Canelo can't speak a lick of english and he lives and fights here for how long now? That's why I don't respect him he don't even have the decency to learn English. His fans are mostly Mexican and all Mexicans somewhat follow boxing that's why he has big fan base, even jr has a big fan base.

[IronDanHamza]

Mayweather and Pacquaio aren't exactly the most charismatic.

[Tomjas]

Floyd was extremely smart

He knew that just as many people would pay to see him lose as to win and played the anti-hero to perfection
