    Would Canelo be as big a star as Conor McGregor if he spoke English?

    Since Floyd retired the biggest name in combat sports sort of defaulted to Conor McGregor.

    I wonder if Canelo spoke English would he be a bigger star than McGregor among the English speaking world at least?

    Manny was and still is a very big star just for the fact he chooses to speak english even if its heavily accented.

    No, Canelo has class and we're living in a classless age.

      Canelo-According to Celebrity Net Worth, Alvarez has a net worth of $120 million.

      McGregor-Conor McGregor currently has a net worth of an estimated: $120,000,000

        I'm talking about star power.

        Canelo got his fight bumped due to a Nate Diaz-Masvidal fight, Conor just had a near 2 million PPV fight.

        Conor only recently started making big money, Canelo has been making it longer but Conor's about to lap him.

          Idk about the comparison to Conor. Canelo is certainly paid like he's bigger than Conor already. And he's been getting paid that way while Conor was getting welfare & he'll probably be getting that sorta money when Conor is retired.

          That said there is 0 doubt in my mind that Canelo would be bigger than he is currently if he spoke English or simply more English.

            Conors gotta keep winning to make money.

            hes popular but if he takes more L's I dont think the big fights will come as frequently

                Canelo don't have the same personality, Conor has benefited alot of controversial moments.

                $$$ doesn't = star power

                  First off his last fight did not do anywhere near 2 million buys. That is a number that the media just took off and ran with to get hits.

                  Canelo and Anthony Joshua make significantly more a fight than Conor does.

                  We will see about his staying power. mma fighters at the top fade over night...

                  Check the Forbes Highest Paid Athletes List for last year. Canelo was #4 overall and the Highest Paid Fighter on the list. Anthony Joshua was the next highest paid fighter on the list.
