    Spence vs crawford edges out Fury vs Usyk but the latter does bett er numbers and casuals will tune in more. Even more if its AJ

    Here in the USA, it's definitely Fury vs whoever.

    Being a Brit, as much as I respect the extreme high value of Bud v Spence, a fight between Fury and AJ is just too irresistible to refuse.

    No promotion seems to even want to finance Spence vs Bud so its clear what fight is bigger

    Worldwide it has to be Fury/Joshua then Fury/Usyk. Crawford/Spence has more appeal in the United States but Top Rank has a done a terrible job in promoting Crawford and Spence lost out in the Pacquaio fight which would of boosted his popularity.

    Spence/Crawford is better.

    The HW's are, pun intended, bigger.

    Tyson Fury just sold 94k tickets in the home of boxing even though only he promoted the fight and it featured the worst undercard in history and his previous two fights on US soil generated between 800-850k buys and 600k respectively over there

    AJ is one of the sport's biggest superstars who regularly draws crowds between 60-90k

    Usyk is a globetrotting road warrior par excellence superstar who has packed out arenas in the UK, Russia, Germany, Latvia, Poland, Ukraine, and the US.

    He's selling out arenas and stadiums all over the shop

    Crawford (38-0, 29 knockouts) has generated a combined 340,000 buys over three PPVs. One Errol Spence Jr. PPV typically produces more than that. Spence’s bouts with Porter and Mikey Garcia yielded 725,000 buys together.

    If my sources are correct

    Spence vs Mikey did 360k PPV buys
    Spence vs Porter did 300k
    Spence vs Danny did 250k
    Spence vs Ugas did 240k

    But word on the street those numbers have been heavily inflated

    The Saudis are begging to be able to stage Usyk vs AJ, AJ vs Fury, or Usyk vs Fury over there and they are willing to spend very big to secure any of those fights

    Spence vs Crawford is a big fight over in the US and a good matchup but we talking

    Of coarse in terms of figures their is no question that Fury is the biggest draw out there right now.But in terms of a quality fight Spence v Crawford peaks my interest far more

    All great matchups but in terms of quality, respective skills vs skills, prestige and from a historical perspective Usyk vs Fury is the most intriguing one for me. When it comes to numbers and figures, that's me playing by the rules others set and not by my own ones.
