    GGG is bigger in the US but he`s not a house hold name there where as AJ is on UK chat shows and adverts, he`s had more impact in the UK than GGG had in the US plus GGG was the B-side in his fights v Canelo specifically when getting the smaller percentage of the purse in the rematch, AJ would not be the B-side v Wilder which is why they will probably never meet unless Wilder signs for DAZN.

    It's kinda weird with so many media outlets. All 3 are big only in certain demographics, not worldwide.

    Last 3 months I've been to Concord New Hampshire about a month, Wisconsin a few weeks and now back in Ohio...& supposed boxing fans have just a slight clue who AJ & 3G is. But via internet, they all seem to at least have heard of Khan, go figure...:(

    Ali still has 'em all beat. And without social media of any kind.

    Anyone named Isaac is a genius and quite frankly deserves such notoriety

    Let me tell you,
    Amir Khan is a gigantic in Pakistan, and very famous throughout the entire Indian subcontinent (only like 1.8 billion people). He's also an icon through the Muslim world and in the UK he's no only famous for boxing, but for being a reality tv star and for the fact that his famously tumultuous marriage has been tabloid fodder for years and years. He's also well known to fans in the USA, having fought on HBO a bunch of times.

    Bruno was the most beloved man in Britain at one time according to well liked boxing commentator Reg G. (RIP) Also Frank is now in hospital with pheumonia, Fury sent him a get well message, nice touch.
