Lulz :lol1:
Beebs would prolly do 10m buys if he fought.
Canelo vs Kovalev generated a live gate of 8.2 million.
Canelo's Cinco de Mayo fight with Jacobs had a live gate of 8.7 million.
Alvarez's two Sept. fights with GGG generated 27 million and 23 million. The 27 million generated in their first fight surpassed Alvarez v Floyd to become the 3rd largest live gate in boxing history.
So even the #1 guy needs the right opponent.
People always seem to miss this point. I takes 2!
Good list Mandela.
I would have put up the same i think.
I think anyone without an agenda would have something close to my list.
Fury is the only guy drawing the big money across different continents. All the other guys are either just big in the USA or big in Europe. GGG is quite big in both. Pacman is obviously big in Asia as well.
I have some questions
Why does Fury rep England and Joshua Nigeria? Why not Ireland or Northern Ireland?
At the risk of sounding like a bitter american or some such, isn't it kind of sad Floyd and Mike Tyson can steal the stoplight still?
I dunno how popular 3G actually is.
Is Fury Irish? :thinking:
I wanted some rep for Africa.
They only get attention from the dweebs, the real fans ain’t interested in middle aged men making comebacks!
lmao @ having Triple B side as a star. Borat sold less than 180k PPV without Canelo. Only white losers gaf about goat-milkers. Spence on the list selling 350k units & white hope out
Are you loco esse? :rofl:
GGG has sold over 1 million twice. Errol Knievel ain’t broke the 500 barrier yet.
Canelo vs Kovalev generated a live gate of 8.2 million.
Canelo's Cinco de Mayo fight with Jacobs had a live gate of 8.7 million.
Alvarez's two Sept. fights with GGG generated 27 million and 23 million. The 27 million generated in their first fight surpassed Alvarez v Floyd to become the 3rd largest live gate in boxing history.

Depends on the criteria you are considering although I have a hard time seeing Fury being #1 in anything except with sh^ttalking.
I'd say Canelo is #1 by a mile.
#2 is AJ by a mile.
Gets a lil trickier & closer at #3 to #5 so I'll list them in no particular order: Manny, GGG & probably Wilder despite that bad L to Fury. You could argue Fury or Errol or hell maybe even fooking Broner, despite his recent form & lacking effort the guy gets folks watching & in seats, eeks in the 5 spot doe.
But I definitely don't see it as disputable Canelo & AJ are the top 2.
Broner being a big star just shows that you don’t have to be a winner and exciting to become a draw. He can probably generate a PPV if he’s given a descent partner

Post a top 5 or discuss........Those might be the top 5 but Canelo is probably number 1. Fury has moved to Vegas and seems very happy there and talks like he will stay there. Joshua is never going to live in Nigeria and is in England to stay. GGG lives in the USA as well.
