    If your not a star in the states your not a star. I know it sounds stupid but its just the way it is.

    It will depend on what side of the world you're in. In England, it'll be Joshua, in America and Mexico it'll most likely be Canelo. Overall though, Joshua is a heavyweight, if he keeps winning in good fashion, he will take over. He might even take over Floyd's number one status as PPV king.

    Yes it sounds stupid because it is stupid and obviously incorrect.

    I would say whoever has the higher career earnings from the last 2-3 years probably provides the best answer, but I haven't a clue what those actual figures are.

    That's the main point, Canelo is already there. Forget ticket gate, let's talk about the meaty part. Which fight mare more money from PPV's?

    Canelo vs Chavez
    Fight Purse: $8 Mil     (Canelo $5M, Chavez $3M)
    TV & Gate: $19.5 Mil (Canelo $14.5M, Chavez $5M)
    Total Income: $27.5 Mil (Canelo $19.5M, Chavez $8M)
    Claimed total including additional sponsorship & merchandising: Canelo $30 Million, Chavez - Cant Find

    Joshua vs Wlad
    Fight Purse: £10 / $13 Mil     (Joshua £5 / $6.5M, Wlad £5 / $6.5M)
    TV & Gate: £20 / $26 Mil (Joshua £10 / $13M, Wlad £10 / $13M)
    Total Income: £30 / $39 Mil (Joshua £15 / $19.5M, Wlad £15 / $19.5M)
    Claimed total including additional sponsorship & merchandising: Joshua £42 / $54.5 Million, Wlad - Cant Find

    Interestingly they both made exactly the same for their last fights when you account for purse, gate and TV revenue at £15 Mil or $19.5 Mil. Also very interesting that the total money pool was a lot smaller for the Canelo fight, he just took a much bigger portion of the pie whereas Joshua split it 50/50.

    Joshua has had one mega fight that he went life and death in, his hype bubble might be bigger than Canelo's but it's also more precarious.

    AJ is bigger in Nigeria, the most populous country in the whole of Africa.

    He can lose the rematch to Wlad and he still has massive fights with; Wlad (again, trilogy), Fury, Wilder, Parker.

    Canelo has no one he can make money with besides Golovkin.

    I think you need to double check on Joshua's earning, live gate was £7 mill. There's no way Joshua made $54.5 million.
