    Mike Tyson. Mans been out of the ring 15 years, comes back during a pandemic and sales 1.1 million PPV. Showing these youngsters how it's done.

    Tyson Fury

    because no man on the planet can beat him in a fist fight

    That makes him the ultimate A-side. The P4P #1. The best fighter on the planet.

    Everyone else is just a pretender.

    No idea how big a draw Canelo is atm, he doesn’t do PPV anymore? He’s on subscription?

    Can Fury or Joshua do big PPV numbers fighting anyone else but each other? In the UK for sure, I wonder how they’ll do in the US.

    Sales or belt based? Legacy based?
    Ok, resume and marketing based Canelo.
    Belts and marketing based: the same A.J and earlier was Wilder too. HW.
    A.J resume is geriartric and Pulev is not Usyk to rise in me interest, outcome Pulev vs A.J just showed that he at least isn't bum vs 39 y.o away corner guy - absolute underdog.
    Best A.J fight in his life was A.J vs Ruiz Jr II. ;):)

    Youtuber Jake Paul came away with an eight figure purse when he conquered the world of basketball even though it was just his second pro fight. No boxer in history has even come remotely close to earning a purse like that in their second pro fight.

    And J-Paul has 14.4 million and 3.8 million followers on Instagram and Twitter respectively. Imagine how much wedge he'd earn if he fought Sugar ''Money'' Mac in his third pro fight. In fact, it would be his third fight ever, period.
