    Who’s the biggest draw? AJ or Canelo?

    I personally think it’s AJ, the dude is selling out arenas in minutes.

    So who is it? AJ or Canelo?

    This debate has been done to death. Canelo is the biggest in the US. AJ is the biggest in the world. Depends on how you define it.

      The best way is to compare their own markets.Mexico for Canelo, Uk for Joshua.Canelo had the massive advantage in facing Mayweather and loads of Mexican-American Patrotic Fanatics

        Not sure why that's the best way to compare. Canelo is clearly more known is the US but AJ has twice the number of instagram followers as Canelo so is clearly more popular on a worldwide basis.

          Well then your opinion would seem to be AJ also since you said world wide.

          I’m not taking who makes more money, I’m taking who puts the most asses in seats

            Canelo still for me.

            Imagine how many PPVs he would sell at $30?

            Feel like Joshua will overtake him at some stage though if he keeps winning. He's a big muscly HW and boxing fans are betas who love to live vicariously through their heros.

              After Clenelo suspension it's probably AJ.

                Canelo but it could change.

                Joshua is probably more beloved in his country but wouldn't do as many PPV's in America but Joshua I think would sell out US venues (due to travelling Brits) but would Canelo take 20k fans from Mexico and America to England? I doubt it but he could possibly sell a venue like 02 on his own but not a stadium.

                Maybe Joshua at the gate, Canelo at the PPV right now. Globally? Maybe Joshua. It's been over 20 years since there's been a charismatic Heavyweight champion and probably even 40 years since the Heavyweight champion has been charismatic AND beloved. If he beats Parker and Wilder he'll be bigger than Canelo could ever be especially now in light of Canelo being exposed as a dirty cheater.

                    Yeah but do you really think Canelo’s drawing power will really be that effected?

                    Fans have a way of justifying anything that suits their personal agenda so I don’t believe Canelo will suffer any true or meaningful backlash from his scandal at the box office.
