"Mayweather is not an International Superstar" Dana White

[Inoue Body Shot]

I am not a huge Floyd fan but this is just flat out false. His popularity in Mexico, Philippines and England is huge.

Boxing popularity is on a global scale and Floyd is known way more than any mma fighter is. I understand he has his agenda and this quote is not taken out of context but is literally just completely false.

No it isnt.

I highly doubt he has that many fans in Mexico or the Phillipines either.
In the US he has groupies and wanna be groupies.

The Ricky Hatton-Floyd Mayweather WBC welterweight showdown 11 days ago in Las Vegas will break all Sky Box Office pay-per-view records in the UK, with estimates as high as 1.2 million buys.

Biggest PPV event in UK history...

I'd somewhat agree he isn't a superstar here in the UK. He is more universally disliked than liked and that applies here too.

That said, if he fought here, i think it would sell out as quick as a flash and that's what probably matters.

Ricky Hatton had a fan friendly style and had some of the best fans who would sing during his fights. I rarely missed a Ricky Hatton fight and I am from San Diego.
That and the celebs who show up to big fights. All I am saying is if it really had gotten broken down, we'd find out Mayweather doesn't have that many fans at all.

I don't know about the other countries but he isn't famous in Mexico.

all i know is Dana White and all of his UFC puppets keep Floyds name in their mouth

[Redd Foxx]

Sure, maybe. But, what does it matter when you can do 4.6million without any star power on your undercard? DW has to stack the fk out of a PPV just to break 1mill. Floyd was doing that fighting guys like Ortiz, again with no real undercard support. I'm not discrediting his org. I watch every event. But, he's spouting more promoter-type bullshyt when he's criticizing Floyd's drawing power in any way. None of the guys he;s ever employed have been on that level.

Dana white lies every time he open his mouth and say a lot of stuff that not factual. Floyds is a huge international star you may not like his style of fighting but it true. Dana/UFC/Rosey/Mcgregor being using Floyd name to boost their brand since 2009.
