    GSP, by quite a bit. Dude is a legend and pretty much a house hold name, despite what a lot of boxing nuts here might lead you to believe. Bute following. Who's Pascal?

    Outside of Quebec, no one knows who the **** Bute is, let alone Pascal. GSP is known country-wide.

    That's not true, the said fact is that MMA is bigger than boxing in Canada right now, so GSP is more popular.

    pascal is black, that is why he is not big in Canada. He's fought way better competition than Bute. Bute is protected, and will be exposed the minute he fights a real good fighter.

    From the outside,it seems like Quebec is sort of like a country within a country.The Quebecois on ESB seem to have Bute as some sort of demi-God.Don't follow UFC or MMA enough to know what they think of GSP.I have family in Toronto but they're far more into hockey and football(soccer) and say Bute isn't a megastar outside Quebec,just a fairly popular sportsman.

    What isn't true about what I just said? You basically agreed with me. As someone who lives in Canada outside of Quebec, I can assure you most people don't know who Bute is, while GSP is much more likely to be recognized.

    Bute is the most popular in Quebec, and GSP the most popular in Canada as a whole. In Quebec, GSP is popular amongst hardcord combat sports fans and casuals sports fans where as Bute is known by most people than dont follow boxing too much. He is more of a public figure.
    Pascal isnt in the equation, even if hes my favorite of the 3.
