    What are you boys defining as stardom, Charles Manson vs a Movie Star .

    Mike was notoriously controversial anti social he never earned anywhere near Floyds money and he never drew anywhere near the numbers so Im not sure what you call a star as Floyd could buy Mikes life 3 times over, if you are not the bigger star how do you earn 5 times the money .

        Unless it was about why he took the WADA banned IV on the eve of his fight with Pacquiao.

        That is a mystery.

                Name recognition makes you a star, not money. Tyson is known by common folk everywhere. Not so with Floyd. Also, there isn’t a shadow of a doubt that if Mike were fighting in this era, he’d earn much more than Mayweather, if only because of said name recognition. Tyson’s heyday were the late eighties and nineties. Even then he earned around $300 million.

                  If I mention Mayweather, they don't have a clue and I have to explain, and they lose interest.

                  In the list of famous sports stars Mayweather doesn't even make the top 1000.

                  Wouldn't even make it as the top 50 known boxers
                  now thats just a down right lie

                    Money wise mayweather may have earned a bit more ( not too much more when u factor in inflation ) , but mike seems to be in the top5 most recognized faces in boxing , prolly top 3 or 2 really . So to answer the question no floyd isnt what tyson was star wise ....he was when it came to the deniero tho .

                      Floyd's numbers were influenced with today's technology and social media as marketing tools that Mike Tyson did not have, not to mention inflation too. Topic is who had more Star power. Money power is ofcoarse Floyd in a different era. But the bigger star worldwide is Tyson without a doubt.
