        arum did a fine job with mayweather. floyd didn't become a true star until he beat oscar de la hoya. that was the most important factor in turning him into the historic level draw that he was. that's almost always how it works. guys have a built in avenue for being built up, the backs of great fighters. pacquiao's career was almost identical in that regard. he beat oscar and then he became a star.

              Because they don't fight often.

              It's not even about likability. People watched Mayweather to see him lose. These PBC fighters could apply the same method to become one, whether intentionally or not.

                ... The only star that's come close to that level since Canelo launched has been Anthony Joshua, and that's with catching lightning in a bottle (winning the super heavyweight Olympic gold medal in his home country).

                Beyond that, point to the fighters, wherever they are, who have become bigger stars, post Canelo's launch, than Wilder, Spence or Danny Garcia, to start with the obvious ones.

                  Most of his best fighters are African American and the American public is looking for champions who look like them.

I mean, i guarantee every PBC on Showtime card will now show Broner standing and blocking the view of the crowd and giving the middle finger lol. Over and over and over and over........spent to many fox cards on berto, Victor Ortiz, Guerrero etc etc. They have great guys to watch but they inactive as hell. Spence wanted 4 fights and has had two. But if the fighters are happy with it then it is what it is
