    I heard he was quite the businessman back in the day. Im sure he would dominate the majority of boxers out there today. Would he big a bigger star than Floyd do you think?

    SRR would definitely be a must see attraction for all the boxing fans out there and would bring a huge amount of hype to boxing/attract many fans.

    Don't think either Floyd or SRR would ever top Oscar in terms of being an attraction. Oscar had Hollywood star looks, and he could fight

    Both Floyd and SRR drive a huge bargain at the negotiation tables. SRR was one of the biggest pricks to deal with I heard.

    They'd do very well within their sport. But making it to movies/Hollywood successfully? Nah

    They both suck **** at singing/rapping/acting.

    Probably around 1.3-1.5 million ppvs on average for SRR? More if he were to fight big names.
