'I imagine thats because you dont know very many people'.....in terms of the world you are correct. In terms of knowing a lot of people who watch football in the UK I can assure you there is very little interest in the French league or PSG. By far EPL is most watched/discussed then La Liga and well below that is Bundesliga and barely ever mentioned is PSG other than odd CL night.
Ronaldo at PSG would increase the interest hugely in what is regarded as a league that has little appeal.
It makes sense that there's little interest in the French leagues in the UK. It's a developmental set up new to the spotlight that currently carries only a single club of continental influence. There's also no English players or very few English speakers at all. However, on my side of the world, and I imagine this is true of Francophone countries; particularly those in Africa & Europe, Portugal, and to a lesser degree Italy and Spain, things are different.
That isn't to say there's any huge interest in Ligue 1 here, but PSG is steadily putting together a following of their own through their acquisitions of Cavani, Silva, Luiz, Di Maria, etc. And while Ronaldo would obviously heighten the clubs profile by some degree, I just don't find it worth the risk when that money could be invested more wisely elsewhere to similar effect. The ultimate goal is winning the UCL after all.
I think people need to ask themselves how much of a following Ronaldo will have when he's no longer on top of the footballing world. Once he's no longer capable of putting in 50 goals a season or catching the eye with a spectacular free kick or bout of flair, versus how big Pogba and Neymar will be when Nike pushes them into the position the stars of yesteryear occupied.
