Is Tyson Fury as big of a draw as Anthony Joshua

No.

 

Not in the UK, but in America he is the more popular of the two.

 

He is?

 

I would say yes. I mean, in Joshua's big America debut he was stopped by a second-tier guy, whereas Fury has had a great series over here with hometown guy Wilder.

You may have heard that Fury is the highest paid boxer now?

I mean, its not like I've done a scientific poll, but finances, common sense, and buzz seem to indicate that Fury had buried Joshua in the American market, whereas I think they give Joshua another chance over there.

 

Depends how you mean. Joshua is obviously and will always be more commercial.
For me, being big is what the public who at least watch a big fight here and there are thinking and saying. I believe we've seen a turn in those people. What I'm hearing a lot of is "I think big Fury can beat him you know" said in that sort of way where they think they're revealing an unpopular opinion, not realising that it's the common sense favourite to the actual core boxing fans.
They've finally copped on that Fury is the more exciting character and in many cases, the more talented boxer.

 

AG hasn't done himself any favours recently with the public , and if fury goes into that fight carrying the power he had in wilder 2. See it as a win for him, Joshua has played the media like a pro over the years, does have talent but see him getting out boxed.

Joshua isn't unloved, and is holding the belts so, is holding the cards really. So yh yes he's a bigger draw in away

 

I can only say in the US tyson fury is a lot more popular. I'm sure AJ has the edge over seas, but its not like tyson can't draw over there either.

 

Fury wouldn’t do 80-90k at Wembley against Povetkin or Takam if that’s what you’re asking.

 

Joshua Klitschko, Joshua Povetkin, Joshua Ruiz 2, Joshua Parker and Joshua Whyte were all exciting/highly anticipated matchups hence the success in the PPV buys. Your friends must not be boxing fans.

 

AJ's stock has platued

Furys stock will keep rising as he captures the biggest market in the world, america


AJ has panic attacks thinking about going back to america

 

You know Forbes only counted AJ’s winning from the second Ruiz fight? Didn’t count the first. Fury had 3 fight and a book tour in that time frame. Joshua makes more money per one fight and takes in a lot more money through sponsorships.

 

Thanks. I really have no dog in the fight. Both solid guys in my opinion.

 

No, simply because he isn't with Hearn, I'm not blowing smoke up Eddie again even though I admit it does sound like it LOL, im talking about promotion, ambition and opportunity.

I'm just saying if Fury was promoted in the same way AJ is promoted now, with the same amount of time and care, the same amount of TV exposure I don't think you'd see much difference in gates and numbers.

Fury has turned it all around reputation wise after a hitting a few bumps over the years, he is now loved, has huge name recognition, is WBC and lineal champion and has gained large numbers of fans after his Wilder win, so given the opportunity to fill a Wembley I believe he would do it.

I believe if Wilder had signed with Hearn early he would be a lot bigger and known world wide. Can you imagine the BS Hearn would have came out with with Wilder knocking everybody out?

Hearn would have gone way OTT and had his face on everything.


You need a modern promoter who understands the modern world and social media and one that will take risks and Fury hasn't got one in my opinion.

 

Bigger. He has a personality.
