    Let's be honest - Canelo isn't that big outside North America

    I'm a Canelo fan but calling him the face of boxing is a tad preposterous and perhaps totally absurd. Boxing is a global sport and not a North American sport. And since Canelo is only big in North America by virtue of his Mexican fan base - calling him the biggest name in boxing is basically akin to calling NFL players like Tom Brady and Odell Beckham the biggest name in sports when most people don't know who they're outside North America.

    Canelo has only about 5million followers on Instagram. LMAO.

    Stop the madness. We all know who the biggest global brand in boxing is. Canelo is just a king in one region/continent. I know most of you want to see biggest name in boxing fail so bad because you're not a fan of the sport. However, you just have to eat the humble pie sometimes and respect the hustle. Hate/jealousy kills hence some guy from Alabama is yet to make $10million in a fight in 11 years as a pro, and another one just got popped for PED and has stopped running his mouth in interviews (where is the B sample, mate?). LMAO.

    No market outside North America matters as much.

        Biggest star in America is the biggest star in the world because it's the concensus the highest level is here

        That's why AJ decided to come to America and ended up embarrassing himself and the queen

          Bloody hell, the US market doesn't determine boxing anymore. The UK is also a powerhouse hence a lot of boxers are now daydreaming about fighting at Wembley or o2 arena. And there's a new powerhouse rising in the deserts of the Arabian peninsula, lol.

          Well, the Queen isn't Donald Trump and your typical yank brawn. She knows it's all about winning the war and not the battle. AJ lost the battle on his first try but he's surely winning the war with how his notoriety grew. And he's about to make the biggest purse in boxing in one fight since Mayweather vs Pacman. Once he wins the rematch - he's going to win the war.

          Or do you want me to start educating you about the difference between a battle and a war? LMAO. I'm a veteran and I can teach you what you won't learn in classes. LMAO.

            Being a ginger must be a novelty in the US, lol. Canelo isn't even the most popular ginger in the world. Off the top, that would be Prince Harry.

            No one cares about a ginger out here - there are loads in Lancashire, especially Liverpool. And if you want the lands of the ginger - head to Northern Ireland, Scotland and Republic of Ireland. LMAO.

              Most of the best boxers in 2019 aren't from North America.

                    Canelo would fit in perfectly in Scotland, wouldn't he? LMAO. He looks like Gordon Strachan's lost son. LMAO.

                    Perhaps we can get Neil Lennon to get him on the Celtic team since the team is not better than a pub team. What say you?
