Tyson in the 80s
Jordan in the 90s
Pac was big but his fame actually grew at its biggest after he died.

 

[Cantwait]

Believe it or not, there are a lot of places Jordan can walk around and people wouldnt be too fussed or wouldnt know him, Tyson though, that man is revered worldwide

I guess Tyson would get more attention walking around London in the 80s/90s than Jordan?

I'm honestly asking. I think people forget how big boxing use to be especially when the Heavyweights were the big stars.

 

[Methodical]

You talk about in late 80s-90s. In terms of popularity worldwide?.....Mike Tyson>>>>Michael Jordan.

People from America will say Jordan, People from Countries will say Tyson.

In America, yeah. As dude mentioned earlier though, US basketball isnt as big in the rest of the world as it is here. There are soccer athletes bigger than Jordan worldwide. And boxing was def bigger than basketball worldwide, especially in asia where combat sports of all kinds were huge, not just boxing.

 

[MikelArteta]

The only time the sky dome would sell out for a basketball game was when Jordan came

Everyone knew who Jordan was
Tongue out bald head fade-away

Right NOW yeah.
Were talking about 80s through 90s. And no, Jordan is not bigger worldwide than any of the legends of soccer either way. Basketballs bigger than soccer internationally? In what world?

 

[TinFoilSnapBack]

Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson were the two most famous brehs on Earth, and I can't think of anyone who comes close.

Tyson was the man, but more famous than Jordan? Definitely not.
