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

Because current boxing fighters have zero charisma and zero charm (except Fury, but that doesn't count, he's off).

Not that I necessarily agree with the title, but if that's the case it's because he's easy money

I really don't see it, I swear it's yanks just enjoying the irish accent because Mcgregor is hardly brimming with charisma, honestly, its the same old tiresome ****e, ' im good' ' im rich', boring as hell. Someone like Big baby miller is a 100x more charismatic and funny.

tbf the 'who da *** r YOU' line was pretty funny doe

He’s not the biggest name in boxing, he’s just the most lucrative fight out there with the lowest risk factor. When all this is said and done, he will have made a lot of money conning boxing fans and he’ll return to mma damaged goods. If he’s willing to get his head bashed in by professional boxers and then return to he’s LOW level sport, more power to him.

This article was made after PAC teased the idea..

He isn’t the biggest star in boxing. People just saw Floyd easily school him and rake in millions...They see Conor as a chance to make a quick buck, not as ‘the man to beat’ in boxing, so to speak.

Conor “I am boxing” McGregor is literally seen as someone easily beatable in a contest that draws a lot of money, that doesn’t make him a boxing star, it makes him a MMA star that boxing/boxers see as fresh meat after seeing Floyd play with him and walk away with millions.

The biggest name. Nah, just the easiest payday. Will he create interest sure but it ain’t boxing it’s a damn freak show! FOOK McGregor!!!

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

Cool, your guarantee does nothing tho and pacquiao has higher ppv and gate than McGregor so

Biggest name lol overhyping , it’s more like everyone wants to see him get his ass beat and it’s a hot ticket.

"biggest star"?........uh....no.......he's just the sideshow (aka freakshow) that people walk past to get to the main events.
It's weird, pathetic, & ugly, but it's like the car crash down the street, you still look at it as you drive by.
