You have to fight and defeat big names to become a superstar. You have to headline big ppv's to become a superstar. Right now the only superstars in boxing are Canelo, GGG, and Anthony Joshua in the UK. Nobody outside of hardcore boxing fans even know who the other boxing champions even are.
Mayweather wasn't a superstar until he fought DelaHoya and was propelled to superstardom. Who's going to be Mikey's DelaHoya? Lomanchenko? Nobody even knows who Lomanchenko is. Nobody knows who Linares is. He got past a faded Broner, that wasn't so spectacular. If he would've knocked Broner the **** out that would've been noteworthy, but he didn't. Maybe he can get Conor Mcgregor in the ring... Conor Mcgregor has had one pro boxing match in his life and he's probably the biggest name most famous boxer in the world.
