Comments Thread For: How in The World Did McGregor Become Biggest Star In Boxing?

Mayweather...............

Partially right but he is great at selling himself just like Floyd. Plus he brings in a lot of money and is an easy fight for a top boxer

I guarantee McGregor vs. [Insert Name Here] in a boxing match outdoes anyone Pacquiao could face on PPV, outside of McGregor himself.

This is the truth. Good post.
But, again, Pac is nothing nowadays.

Because the boxing PPV buyers for big show events are mostly made up of occasional fans and only entertainers bring these fans out of the woodwork. frankly Conor is the best entertainer in fight sports right now, forget skills, he knows how to build a fight and people get out their wallets it’s that simple

He's the biggest star in boxing because he's the most entertaining and because McGregor - Mayweather is still fresh in everyone's minds. Doesn't hurt that the fight and the build up was an absolute freak show.

Let's face it, McGregors face and name are more recognizable to the general public than 99% of boxers today. Also add to the fact that top boxers keep on calling out his name.

There is still some meat on those bones, easiest payday for any top 15 boxer from 147-168 who can lure him in. Floyd created an illusion Spence, Canelo or GGG would have destroyed him inside of 3 rounds max.

same reason trump on ppv would be the biggest star. people just like names. they dont care about quality. thats how floyd duped them for years.

McG is a real G. You guys are hating on him for np reason

[Majic]

MAYWEATHER made him bigger than he was.
