Not really. Maybe in America, but both aren't really world beaters and neither of them will hold the belt this time next year if they fight any decent opponent. Ie Klitschko Haye Fury Povetkin.
I'd say Klitschko Haye was a bigger fight than this. These guys aren't real champions and as soon as the winner faces either of the above, they're done.
Purses will dictate the popularity of the fight and judging off of Stiverne vs Cristobal the fight will be viewed as a clash for a vacant belt. I suspect Stiverne won't even gross 1 million dollars for this fight and Wilder will be lucky to make half that.
