Brehs in 2018 who is the most famous living athlete in the world, current or former? (Poll added)

[Mike Nasty]

Jordan or Ronaldo.

 

[mastermind]

Really?

Missed the "living" part

Oh well

 

[Brozay]

I want to say Ronaldo but I'm going with Mike Tyson as I believe he is bigger than his sport now.

Theres people who wouldn't be interested in sports that know Mike Tyson where as that doesn't apply with Ronaldo.


Anybody who says Jordan is an idiot. I guarantee 60% of people worldwide who wear Jordans have never seen 5 seconds of him playing

yet you choose Mike Tyson ...

 

[J Money]

Help me understand this, 'cause I don't think he's even in the conversation, for the simple fact he's a former American athlete.

I just feel like people young or old would know about Tyson in some form or another. Old people watched him during his prime years, young people probably watched highlights of him on YouTube. Plus he's been in films, The Simpsons etc

 

[Goon for hire]

Messi, Ronaldo, and Lebron gotta be top 3 maybe could switch out neymar and lebron

Those 60% of people still know who he is, which is the point.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Messi; Ronaldo, or Bron

Ronaldo or Messi. In 2018, it's definitely not Jordan, there's an entire generation that doesn't even know who he is.

Who is this generation that don’t know Jordan?

Who is this generation that don’t know Jordan?

We're talking about the world, not this country. It should be pretty obvious who that generation is - you could even stretch it to generations.

 

[mbewane]

Ronaldo, Messi close second, only because it feels like CR7 has more advertisments etc.

Jordan still up there if you consider the fact a whole generation probably only knows the brand rather than the person himself.

We're talking about the world, not this country.

Ok cool I can’t speak on a generation that I don’t know about from another country. But like I asked, who is this generation that y’all speak of? If that’s the case those soccer players y’all naming, no generation knows them in this country

 

[Never Broke Again]

Ronaldo, by a lot

CR is in the most known person alive convo with trump, Obama and putin

Even if that were true (which it is not), this country only makes up 4% of the world's total population.
