      Better marketing. Better marketing brings more casuals.

      Joshua was also in more title fights. Takam, Parker, Povetkin, Pulev...all title fights. Title fights sell.

      Fury was "retired" between 2015 -2018. Than he fought Pianeta and Seferi, later Schwarz and Wallin.

      I don`t now why are you surprised Joshua made more money.

      If Fury has stayed active all the time, defending titles, fighting guys like Helenius, Parker, Pulev...he would have made much more money.

        Why is he so popular now then?

        Your hero AJ is a bum and is about to be used as a tune-up for the Gypsy King.

        How the mighty have fallen.

          Fury wasted far too much time with Mick Hennessy. He should've been with a major promoter from the start of his career. It wasn't until he dumped Mick that his commercial value really took off.

            Marketing

            When was the last time you saw Fury on TV advertising a product?

              AJ is the poster boy over here, ever since he won that gold medal he’s been the golden one, he took the place of Amir khan. Plus he has the looks and women and some men fancy him

                Because AJ is good looking, and was promoted as being "humble" and "classy".

                Fury is fat, bald, and crazy. That is much less marketable.

                  Marketing. Anthony Joshua was a brand before the Wlad fight.

                    Time will tell if AJ’s ****ed up rant after the last fight will affect that image.

                      So popular? Is he? He's popular among chavs. He didn't get such a good reception at that WWE event in Wales last weekend di he? Crowd was dead.
