A+ side: meaning they can fight a broomstick & make 8 figures regardless Saul Alvarez Anthony Joshua Honorable mention: Manny Pacquaio A- side: meaning that they need a good dancer partner but will always earn the lion share base on resume, ppv sales, fanbase, etc. Ryan Garcia Errol Spence Gervonta Davis Deontay Wilder/Tyson Fury
A+ Side: Tyson Fury Fury sold out Las Vegas during a pandemic while Joshua struggled sell out 1000 seats Fury also broke Nevada HW gate record
Fury is my favourite HW but dont be daft AJ brings far more revenue o In than Fury Fury has closed the gap somewhat, but its still a gap
Well, you've named them. AJ, Canelo & Pacquiao. I can see Garcia becoming a certified A-side as well as Teofimo Lopez. Both have the look, personality, charisma & a crowd-pleasing style to become household names
There wasn’t a pandemic back in February of last year in America and there was no covid restrictions whatsoever in place. Also Fury needed Wilder to do that. He couldn’t do it against Wallin or Schwarz. Joshua sold out Wembley against Carlos Takam who nobody even knew apart from hardcore boxing fans. Fury is not A+ side and you know it.
PPV sales don’t go on sale until usually 2 weeks before the fight and a million people still bought AJ vs an unknown. Levels.
PPV Sales are nothing to do with bums on seats ,why are you mentioning it? you spoke of selling out Anyway i wasn't disagreeing with you Its clear AJ can sell out to most casuals with almost anyone Levels...lol mate i bet you get a semi when that Lynx advert comes on
Canelo AJ Fury Canelo is the top A side guy in boxing. He can fight anyone and pack a stadium and rack up PPV numbers. Mexican fans are the most loyal on the planet and they love boxing. He’s A side against anyone in boxing.
As much as I despise him and think he is shite, I would add Dillian Whyte to the A- side. A non -world champ who is a genuine PPV attraction is unheard of
I see an A side as someone who can get casuals to pay for a fight. There are very few of those. Pacquiao Canelo Joshua That is the list.
