There's no doubt McGregor is the biggest draw in combat sports, even more popular than Pac in 2009.

People really didn't know who Pacquiao and Floyd were?? Wtf are you guys from lol everyone knows who they are around here. Hell, a lot of people know who GGG and Canelo are rn too.

 

Definitely not the type of worldwide appeal that Pac had in his day. But he has an audience and for a good reason. He fights the best,talks his **** and goes to ****ing war. I quit watching mma fights for a few years, but guys who actually let their hands go in combat sports will always find a following, and he's made me tune in again. Boxing i love,but too many promoters, managers , abc belts that have taken the sport out and made our a businesses first. And yes I'm a fan,i give zero ****s how much they make,only that the best fights get made. Even though UFC isn't the only show in town they do have 90% of the top guys And that means one org, one man,one belt, and like Ric Flair always said "to be the man, you gotta beat the man"

 

I think floyd was the most overpaid athlete that ever walked the earth.

 

He's right not many people actually follow boxing

 

UFC is more popular than boxing

 

UFC is everything that boxing needs to be.

 

Yeah I totally agree with the point your making, he did an amazing job at maximising his earnings. Brilliant business brain.

 

Ofc but from my experience here in Jersey, people certainly knew who floyd and pac were at least. Their level of fame was comparative, if not bigger than McGregor so it's just a surprise to me that posters are saying that people don't know who they are

 

Theres no doubt Mcgregor left hand power would have Floyd LAYED OUT the sec he connects on his chin.

Your manz would be snoring HARD my G.

Something needs to be done about these trolls theads already. Seriously.

 

Unfortunately , that is the truth bruhh.

Boxing is in my heart and is a sport i love dearly.

But Boxing needs to step it up because MMA is truly taking over.

 

**** the ufc

 

The sad truth is UFC is way more popular than boxing. Conor McGregor is the biggest draw in combat sports right now.

 

Immediate Site Ban, for life!

 

It was great event but lets not get carried away, Mcgregor's fights draw about 1-1.6 mil in ppvs and he's the cash cow of the UFC. Still far less what boxing has and is capable of drawing.
