Is Mike Tyson more popular worldwide than AJ + Fury?

- -AJ exceedingly popular, but since a global polling of even dubious value, the question has a moot value. Tyson ain't popular with women's groups, women being the only global majority in the world. His stock dropped in value after he was knocked out by a fat guy.

Mike Tyson is a black cultural icon and has been since the mid 1980s. That will never go away.

A better question might be, where is Tyson status to FMW or Ali (dare I say)? AJ has a small cult but Wilder and Fury are nobodies.

Naw, a Wallin rematch wouldn't generate jack. Just like the first fight didn't. I could easily see a Mike Tyson fight beating that. A WBC defense against a guy who cut him above the eye and took him 12 rounds in a pretty good fight? :lol1: that would sell better than any mike tyson fight. For sure.

Till this day? Of course he is.

Tyson Fury's next fight will generate more money than any Mike Tyson fight could do and that's the bottom line. And I don't care if it's Wallin or Wilder or AJ. Tyson Fury is by far the bigger draw in boxing terms. Naw, a Wallin rematch wouldn't generate jack. Just like the first fight didn't. I could easily see a Mike Tyson fight beating that.

Yea, I think the Tyson / RJJ ppv does maybe 250k-800k but I'd be both pleased and shocked if it did over a mil. Tyson is definitely the more popular and iconic character but unless the fight is for a belt or something the casuals aren't going to come flocking in masses, especially if they keep reminding people it's an exhibition. If Tyson made a real run at contention then I see him generating tons of interest. Fury is right now the king of boxing so of course he can fight tin cans and the world will watch. 800k?? wtf in what world would that ever happen. It's lucky if it cracks 100k .

People don't seem to be able to get this through their heads. Yea, I think the Tyson / RJJ ppv does maybe 250k-800k but I'd be both pleased and shocked if it did over a mil.

Hes the more known face and name by far, but that wouldnt translate into masses of people watching him fight on PPV anymore. Even his last few fights 15+ years ago were doing sub 300k buys because people knew he was done. People don't seem to be able to get this through their heads.

Let's say Fury rematched Wallin in Vegas. You don't think more people would pay to see Mike Tyson's return instead?? Tyson Fury's next fight will generate more money than any Mike Tyson fight could do and that's the bottom line. And I don't care if it's Wallin or Wilder or AJ.

yeah before Fury broke records and smashed the american champion. So in boxing terms it's lightyears away. Let's say Fury rematched Wallin in Vegas. You don't think more people would pay to see Mike Tyson's return instead??

An old fight? That happened just last year. yeah before Fury broke records and smashed the american champion. So in boxing terms it's lightyears away.

Mike Tyson has been famous for damn near 40 years. He is known the whole world over. He is perhaps and arguably the most recognizable human being on the planet earth.

Mike Tyson is incredibly famous. Like top 10 most famous athletes of all time famous. AJ and Fury might be well known to the average sports fan in the UK, but they are unknowns in North America unless you're a fight fan.

Why does it have to be against Wallin? :lol1: And why do you bring up an old fight? I guess you're trying to pull up numbers from Fury's fight vs Wallin which would be absolutely pathetic since Fury's drawing power in Vegas is on a totally different level now that he just dominated and humiliated America's champion in Vegas AND breaking records doing it. Whatever way you want to put it, if they both fought their next fights Fury's numbers would scramble Tyson's with no problem. And that's just Fury on his own. The question was about AJ + Fury, who both generated 100m plus in their last fights. Mike Tyson won't sell more than 200k PPVs at low price at the absolute best. So yeah, don't be delusional and move on. An old fight? That happened just last year.

I didn't mention Wilder, doe. And? i did. You tend to do that with others, when no one mentioned them too.

So if Tyson were to fight in Vegas this year you don't think he could sell more tickets than, say, Fury did vs Wallin? Why does it have to be against Wallin? :lol1: And why do you bring up an old fight?

Yes that's an absolute fact :lol1: If you think anything else you're gone. So if Tyson were to fight in Vegas this year you don't think he could sell more tickets than, say, Fury did vs Wallin?
