Famous? Yes. Out of that list, Jobs ushered in the era of the rockstar tech CEO, and he remains the idol of every tech CEO today.
Yeah, I was thinking the same about Babe Ruth. He isn't a global icon. Simply a US icon.
I feel like LeBron might be the last GLOBAL megastar in sports. He came around at exactly the right time before social really exploded. If Bron...
Which I guess answers my question. GSP, Silva, Fedor, Jones were never Tyson/Ali level rockstars.
I still don't feel like the UFC's model is sustainable long-term. It might seem like it is right now, but I suspect it's not. The WWE is the case...
Arum was the architect behind the usage and implementation of the word "marinate" in boxing. The Grim Reaper needs to come for him already.
The NFL and Football (soccer) are probably the only two sports with big enough brands that the sport thrives irrespective of stars. The NHL? I...
Ali and Tyson were around at a time before politicians were stars, and before CEOs were stars, and before social media. In their era, celebrities...
That's a big part of it. I also kind of think that the luster of the athlete has diminished. Don't get me wrong, big time athletes will ALWAYS...
Ever produce a star as HUGE as an Ali or Tyson? McGregor is the biggest mainstream star they've ever had, but I'm talking like epically huge......
Yup! We're talking about it on the other thread.
I know that Canelo isn't bigger than McGregor. I meant among prime, active fighters. The current UFC model is identical to the current WWE model...
I don't doubt it. Our sport is so retarded though, cause we SHOULD be murdering them. I can't name more than 1-2 newish UFC guys. The brand is...
We've been here for over 20 years, bruh... we need to start entertaining the possibility that some posters may have in fact died.
What these fuckin idiots in our sport don't get is, they can't understand why the UFC is killing us; they think its because the UFC is better...
This is what I mean about Kavanaugh wanting to turn the sport into a circus: [MEDIA] He isn't a boxing guy, or even a sports guy. He's a...
They can claim whatever they want. It might be true, it might not be. We'll never know for sure, but we'll get an indication that it's made up if...
If you follow the news, Triller is also now planning to launch an IPO. They might be looking to slow down a bit on spending until they're a public...
Triller owner Ryan Kavanaugh comes across as one of the slimiest people I've ever seen, and none of us should support Triller, cause if you've...
COVID is usually asymptomatic, especially in younger people. It's no surprise that he had zero symptoms. Oh well, I don't give a shit that it's...
Gushiken was far better imo. He overwhelms Calderon and stops him late.
The assholes at Triller will probably look to sue anybody who tries to illegally stream. I'll just flip between ESPN and Showtime. No interest...
Oh damn. I honestly didn't even know that Cruz and Vargas were fighting.
Yeah, he pulled out last week, I believe. Munguia-Sulecki was actually the most decent matchup of the weekend. Now everything is just a gross...
Juice has clearly evolved over the years, too. Why else can Manny look like a young man at 40, and Leonard was shot by his mid 30s? I mean, it's...
There's four different mismatches to choose from this weekend. Fimo, Inoue, Charlo, and Munguia are all involved in showcases fights against...
Juicing is constantly brought up in both Tyson, and Holy topics. And Jones topics. If anything, it only adds to the greatness of a fighter like...
Quite obviously, I was referring to Luis.
Looking at Pac's victims, Ortiz would have success against them. Ortiz would carve up Hatton, and would beat Cotto at 140. Also, a shot and...
Pac is definitely greater. I dunno if Pac is better, but I do know i would pick Ortiz to beat him at 135. Carlos had every tool needed to beat Pac.
Separate names with a comma.
