      This is why UFC fighters are more popular than boxers these days.

        Canelo shouldn't even be mentioned. Wth?

        And no.

        AJ is the only star, now and for the future.

Everything Mayweather does garners attention from Casual Fans Like Him or Not! Anybody that is attached to him you will keep an eye on regardless if you're rooting against them or not
          I'm rooting for Tank being huge, but idk that its possible for lil guys (140lbs or less) to get THAT mainstream.

          I don't think there is enough talent & name value in lil guy divisions to build your own name up + more importantly I don't think mainstream type fans respect "fighters" they feel they could beat up like most of these 140lb or less guys have even the most obese can't walk up a flight of steps without breathing hard type cats thinking.

            Yeah this is true! If not Tank then I think Mayweather do have the resources and following still to help create Americas next big superstar in boxing. His Roster Sucks though, he mostly sign small guys! Need to invest in a talented Heavyweight!

              But as for those guys I would say NO! Not because of their fighting style or any of that other BS that trolling idiots will say is why they won't be stars, more so because of the state of boxing in America at the moment. Boxing in America is probably lower that Hockey as far as overall interest in the sport and that is LOW! I don't think Canelo, GGG, Loma any of those guys will become Crossover Superstars or anything like that BUT they will still make Millions and be popular with hardcores. But as far as doing Mayweather and Pacquiao numbers? I think those days are gone for Boxing IN AMERICA!

              However in the UK I think AJ will continue to pack them in and making MILLIONS and be more of a GLOBAL STAR!

              No, Spence and Thurman, even Crawford can become major stars. Manny-Floyd level? Probably not but HWs are generally the. Biggest stars

                Nah,anyone not named Ronda or Conor is not cared about at all by the mainstream. They are just faces in the crowd

                  Yea Mayweather's impact is gonna help Tank reach his max level, whatever that happens to be, & would do that for anyone these days that's for sure. I mean imagine how much more mainstream Wilder would be if he was a TMT guy?

                  So yea if Floyd found a HW that's really good that guys is going far & reaching mainstream appeal to whatever degree his talent allowed for.

                  For Mayweather Promotions as a whole I think they are still getting into serious mode with their company. They were basically Miguel Cotto Promotions til Floyd retired less then 2 years ago. So of course they kinda suck. The fact they were even in the running for Shakur Stevenson's services is a W for them. And I expect they will actually pull a coveted guy or two from the class of 2020 if they keep moving like they've been moving since Floyd retired.

                  The boxing business isn't as easy to get into & succeed at as it was when Bob came outta law school or whatever & Don came outta prison. Takes more work today. Its a different game with more bs & redtape & everyone is already with someone & connections are already made & contracts are already signed.

                    I think Spence and Canelo possibly could. Ward might be good enough but he say too lousy to watch to ever gain that status. Mayweather, Manny, Tyson and Leonard are all good to great to watch. They entertain while Ward mainly just wins boring, dull fights.
