    No he isn't and you'll see during the promotion leading up to the fight how big this fight will be.

    Asking this question on only an english speaking forum makes this not relevant.

    Danger Player 1, the hyper sensitive social justice warrior enters the game. SJW Bot makes vague meaningless raced based comment that is completely untrue. SJW Bot's next move will be to make accusations of racism against anyone pointing out how stupid he / she / xe / tranny comments are.

    SJW Bot will continue to make nonsensical posts while trying to make everything a race war. Better players will laugh at SJW Bots feeble ignorance and race baiting and learn to skillfully ignore. Less experienced players may find themselves confused trying to understand SJW Bot's nonsense and dragged into a race based flamewar where logic and reason has no meaning or relevance. Proceed with caution Player 1.

    Right, that's my point. Canelo will end up making more or equal to Joshua or Klitschko. The big difference is that Canelo wasn't fighting for a tittle and this fight wasn't as important as Joshua/Klitschko.

    Right, the Canelo/Chavez fight will probably end up making twice as much.

    AJ can become known world wide and bigger than Canelo if he defeats Deontay Wilder. The world would want to see a prime US heavy against the Brit. The world. My take...

    I agree, Joshua is more popular in Europe and arguably internationally while Canelo is King in the US. I think also you have to take into account that Joshua is a Heavyweight. People who don't follow boxing tend to gravitate towards the heavyweights

    I have no doubt that joshua is huge. What im saying is to be a superstar you have to make it big here in the states and right now Canelo is far bigger than Joshua. What im saying isnt that more people know canelo here in the states and south america than people know joshua in europe. What im saying is if joshua became big here in the states his earning potential is far higher than if hes only known in europe. Manny is a perfect example. He became a world wide superstar when he started selling big ppvs here in the states after he beat oscar. For Joshua to do the same he`d have to be DW in a huge fight and thats not happening because honestly nobody here in the states really gives a crap about DW.

    I'd rather watch a Joshua fight than a Canelo fight any day.

    From what I have heard from people on this forum is it is very hard to be famous for boxing in the USA, because hardly anybody watches boxing anymore, and even more shockingly I have heard that the demand to watch sport as a whole is in massive decline in the USA.

    Sounds like it is becoming a dead market.

    I don't live there, so no idea, that is just what I have heard from a few American's on here.

    I mean 1 million PPV in a country that has a population of 300,000,000 is actually very poor.

    Joshua selling 1.7 million PPV in a country with the population at 65,000,000 is very impressive.

    The casuals love a heavyweight that knocks people out. If Joshua keeps on doing that, then he's going to be a huge star.
