If he sells out 80k tickets against Pulev can't no one say he isn't the biggest attraction in boxing now.

Joshua the most marketable athlete? haha Boxing is an individual sports. Easier to market someone that competes on his own. He is an heavyweight, remember that. Dont underestimate the drawing power of an powerful, undefeated heavyweight champion.

Joshua the most marketable athlete? haha Well he has 21 sponsorships.. If he wasn't marketable companies wouldn't endorse him. He's only been a profession for 3 years yet he's already the most sponsored active athlete on the planet. 2016's richest athlete Ronaldo has 16 sponsorships in comparison and Ronaldo is one of the most recognisable athletes in the world. AJ is only getting bigger and more popular.

Respect to Joshua. Joshua is gonna be mainstream as f#ck if he can win fights for the next 2 or 3 years. Hell I think he can even drop a fight & as long as he avenges it it won't hurt his mainstream potential THAT much. Hope he don't f#ck sh^t up with out of the ring bs like some cats tend to do (I'm talking to you Jon Jones). The undefeated record means a lot but McGregor has just lost in a boxing match yet his mainstream appeal has grew bigger than ever. It depends how he loses I guess And if he avenges it but yea he needs to fight more often. Good thing Hearn has backtracked from his comment about AJ only fighting twice a year.. Hearn’s confirmed AJ will fight at least 3 times in 2018. Meanwhile Keith “One Time A Year” Thurman has one fight and then disappears from the face of the earth.. There’s no recent interview of him.. nothing!

Thats great. Hopefully he fights in the US and becomes a bigger name over there. He is already huge in the UK. He have the potential to be a big name in not just boxing, but in all of sports if he keeps winning.
