    Well he's Irish, not American.. So that's your statement over.
    You clearly have trouble using your brain.

    Mcgregor is the biggest Mma star in America, so what's your pont? Conlan has already relocated to Las Vegas.

      And none of these other guys are sellable to the American media and public.

      Conlan is going to be a media and fan Favorite. Conlan is marketable unlike most boxers, and in today's sporting landscape that's what matters.

      Again what does this guy got that no other top Olympian turning pro doesn't... exactly...I'm talking details. Everybody gots a story. All you showed me is a video that's been out for 8 months with less than 10,000 hits which proves my point more than yours.

      And hey good luck to the kid. He got f#cked over at the Olympics and I'd love for him to become as big as possible as I'm always rooting for guys on the come up, but he's certainly not there now & has little potential of achieving his maximum popularity let alone stardom in the US with its anti-lil guy, anti-foreign stances in boxing.

        Doesn't make him an American star does it you dim twat. McGregor is a worldwide star that is Irish, nothing about him has to do with America. Conlan would be a star if he was to blow up, not an American star.

          I already answered that for you.

          He's more marketable than anyone else. Good looking White faces, with a story, who can knock people out, and Know how to talk to the media, are marketable.

          That's extremely rare in this sport, boxing Is filled with dudes who can't speak English, and the guys who can speak English talk like Chad Dawson. These guys don't have any real star potential. Conlan does....

          Why do you think after all these years, all these fighters Haymon hasn't built any stars? They aren't marketable, you can't sell them to the American public.

          Conlan is a easy sell.

            Mcgregor didn't become a star until he came to America, he makes his money here, he gets his views here, the media here is what built him up, and it was an American promoter who did it.

            He's an American star no matter what dumb fcking semantics you try to play with.

            Mcgregor was a nobody in Ireland before coming here.

              No matter what he does in America, he isn't American, typical yank trying to claim fighters as their own when all they've done is work there lmao. It's sad really.

                Easy sell lol. Like I said earlier the only things he gots going for him is what you think is all that matters. History tells me US fans aren't quick to lift up non-latino foreigners who weigh less then their 20 year old non-obese daughter.

                We'll see and can agree to disagree for now.
