Why are there no popular Cruiserweights?

[Beercules]

It isn't popular here in the US.

It never caught on in America. A bonafide star or a fighter, with a big personality and who fights exciting fights that gets the publics attention, would probably look to move up to heavyweight as soon as possible to chase the big money.

Cruiserweight is arguably the best division in boxing today. On top of that the top fighters there actually fight each other

I'd say it's one of the weaker divisions in boxing but getting better, it's in a development phase.

You go 1 division north and there are multiple heavies that would beat the best guys at cruiser. The Fury bros, Pedvetkin, Wilder, Ortiz, Joshua, Joyce, Parker, Pulev, etc. even guys like Ugonoh and Breazeale.

Meanwhile 1 division south you have light heavies that aren't even top 5 like Bellew and Vlasov invading the division and destroying guys left and right.

Who said they aren't 'popular'? They absolutely are! At least in a global sense and in the European continent. Perhaps you mean they aren't popular in USA, UK or other Western countries? Well, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Andre Ward and many other boxers of USA aren't popular in those European countries either.

So yes, they are popular in a global sense but not as popular in western countries like USA.

[Mr Objecitivity]

Cruiserweight is no doubt one of the best divisions in boxing today.
