Murata is the biggest fight for GGG, second to Canelo.

Murata would get cooked like a Christmas goose

I don't know about goose, but possibly Christmas chicken. I have a Japanese friend who says KFC is a popular Christmas meal in Japan. I thought he was bullshytting so I looked it up.
Anyhow, there's your trivia for the day.

Is this some kind of bad joke?

Murata does have a country behind him (ish), but I am not sure if the money is actually there. You never heard of Japanese fighters making a ton of cash.

This is true; Parker just found this out while trying to put together a fight against Fujimoto back in December.

But, if I remember correctly, Murata does CRAZY numbers on TV in Japan. Numbers that big could lead big ticket sales. Do they have boxing matches at Tokyo Dome?

Just googled it.... Boxrec says the last time they had a boxing match at the Tokyo Dome was.... Tyson-Douglas.

That's actually pretty awesome.

Is there any speculation or facts on how much Murata is making if he's bringing in 30M fans?

Who's been some Japanese big purse boxers in the past & how much were they making/how many viewers were they bringing in?

Hadn't really considered Murata much vs GGG cuz he's so green still, but yea if these numbers looking like this & he's bringing in the $$$ accordingly I'm thinking he's not long for Canelo or GGG. Would be an interesting potentially world wide event like those old school Ali fights if we can get GGG or Canelo to go to Japan to fight him to. Doubt that'd happen, but it'd be cool if it did.

No its not a Joke because Murata fought a better fighter in the MW division than Charlo. And is like, 5x more money wise in Japan.
