This may be a good point but I don't think so as much as it once was.
Older fighters are getting spotlights now. There is less competition for the spotlight because there just isn't a lot of stars in the sport anymore.
Look at guys like GGG, Kovalov, or Sergio Martinez, those guys didn't really get the spotlight until late in their careers, and they all ended up being boxing stars.
Conlan will already have the spotlight to start his career, but his upside as far as being a star is far higher than any of those other guys.
