    Never argued that Conor wasn't a star. Conor is huge in the UFC. But we are talking about boxing. Conor boxing debut versus a no name would have generated maybe a 10th of the buzz that it did. Mayweather is the reason the fight is big news.
    Conor versus Brian Sutherland is maybe the only other fight that would have topped it.

The Diaz Bros arent the brightest apples on the tree but figured out the UFC was using them. All McG does is what they do but its cooler because of his skin color and accent.
      Dude, stop talking.
