    In the US? Clearly Maidana.

    Fights against Broner, Khan, undefeated version of Ortiz, Mayweather...he is very well known.

    Kell is obviously much bigger over here, but he's still largely unknown in the US.

      Brooks has a ways to go before he becomes a big name like Maidana but if he brutally stops Thurman and amir con it would be close.

            Clearly Maidana. The dude has practically been adopted by mexican fans and he gave Mayweather a good fight.

            Brook's popularity only comes from the UK.

              So would Maidana command a higher purse than Brook?

                Well he has some fans over here in the states now, after Saturday night.

                  Maidana because of huge Latino population in the US. Plus he has an exciting fighting style.

                    yeah of course.

                    The guy has massive backing from US television.

                    Unless it was PPV in the UK, I would imagine Maidana would get more. But then again, other than for his Mayweather fight, he hasn't earned as much as Brook did in his last fight I think.

                    But Maidana made himself with Broner and Mayweather.
