    He's far better and a bigger draw IMO cause he's more charismatic

    Stupid post. Fury vs Wallin had 3,577 fans in the stands and 7,475 total, with more comped tickets than bought ones hahaha. And that was last year. I could go on and on, but it should just stop right here. Fury is a steroid cheating con man with only 2 good names on his record. He is currently trying to avoid his mandatory and fight another bum before the 3rd Wilder rematch. He's not a draw or a great champion, he's a joke

    Joshua would get that fighting a goat so we can’t really delve too much into that.

    Exactly that’s the point. Shows his star power if he could fight Schwarz and still sell out football stadiums.

    Obviously in the UK Joshua has had the promotion machine f Sky Sports behind him, he's one of the most well known sports stars in the UK out of anyone. Stateside Fury is more popular and better known.

    Part of the reason Joshua has a following is that he has taken fights against top opposition.

    Now in late 2020 Fury and Joshua are going to have to re-establish their support with actual fights against actually credible opposition.

    As weird as is it, but mainstream media I actually think means a lot in boxing because someone known and followed to an extent by casual sports fans has a much wider pool of consumers to tap into, but mainstream media tends to basically ignore lame fights - such as Schwarz, etc.

    The further Wilder and Pulev drag into next years the more Fury and Joshua's profile will start to fade.

    Fury in the US, which is where it matters.

    Joshua is more popular in poorer countries like the UK and Nigeria.

    Fury's stock has risen dramatically over the past 18 months. Joshua's has taken a substantial hit but with no PPV numbers/ticket sales to go in it's hard to say.

    I'll say one more point since most of you are basically ******s. Fury has not fought top opponents outside of Wilder and Klitschko (whom he fought on steroids). AJ has fought most of the top 10 and has offered to fight the rest, offers they've turned down. Fury has been on 2 PPV with low to modest numbers while AJ has been on PPV for years now, regularly getting over a million in the UK alone. The Fury Wallin fight did 7k while AJ has been filling up the soccer stadiums with up to 90k fans. So to say that Fury is somehow a bigger star or more popular, is just plain old dumb. But you idiots still say it, just because you hate AJ hahhaha. I'll say this much, if the two ever fight, you'll hate AJ a lot more after the fight when he smashes your man-kissing, steroid taking idol Fury hahaaha

    There are a lot of people on social media, who I know, whom I had no idea were into boxing that are going to this fight.

    Is Fury more popular than AJ? Probably not overall, but to me it's got whiffs of the Beatles vs the Rolling Stones. One of them your nan and mum loves (AJ), but all the cool kids prefer the Stones (Fury).

    Fury brings things to the table that AJ can and does not.
