    Experts in marketing say so:



    ^ That website is referenced every year for their 'most marketable' list by numerous publications, including Fox Sports in the US.

    Anyway...

    Pretty much everyone acknowledge that Joshua is not a PPV draw in the US and that he needs to face Wilder to even contemplate being one, but that does not remotely mean that he is not a known commodity worldwide because the entire world is not the UK and USA. Joshua's last fight was aired in over 150 countries according to Hearn, including RTL in Germany where Joshua v Takam got 2.73million views (published by RTL). That's close to 3 million germans watching a brit fight. How the **** does that happen if he's only a local star?!

    Essentially to claim that Joshua at this stage is just a local commodity is showing nothing more than the stereotypical American ignorance to the world outside your own borders.

      AJs a massive draw in the Uk


      You factor in 1.5 mil PPV for Klit ( obviously the opponent had a large part to do with it ) and packing 80-90k when he fights

      With UK having a population of around 65 mil that equals to around 1 out of 40 people in the UK paying to watch his fight on TV or going to see him live

      That number is absolutely f.ucking ridiculous when you think about it

      To say otherwise is ******ed

          He is not the most marketed or marketable athlete in the world.

            Boxers want to fight. You wouldn't know that by this pathetic answer that you gave. Wilder wants a fight and says that he is willing to do it here or abroad. Stop hiding behind this ***** answer and act like a boxing fan for once Joshua **** blower. Lmao

                this is definitely the end game strat if they are trying to make this fight next. holyfield - tyson 2 was much, much bigger than holyfield tyson 1. if the fight is good in england you can bring the rematch to las vegas. a bunch of brits will go, lots of americans, and lots of international high rollers.

                      I think he could do around 300k PPV in the US. Dudes a crossover star. Hes not unkown in the US the guy is on primetime underarmour and beats commercials.
