    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.

      And I don't think I've ever heard a more boring person talk in my entire life. He certainly has the size, look, and talent though.
      ... Joshua is stuck on Showtime/CBS, the only network going today that;s consitently put more money behind their boxing programming.

      You add that CBS carrying the biggest fights seems set in going forward, and you're fooling yourself to downsize Showtime/CBS

        And yet Showtime hasn't built any stars in years.

              A boxer that small will never be the face of boxing. The general public don't give a damn about boxers his size.
