I wouldn't be so sure that an AJ fight does a lot bigger numbers in the UK than Fury v Wilder rematch..
AJ in general will always do bigger numbers, but give the public a choice between Fury v Wilder or AJ v a recycled opponent like Whyte, i think the numbers would be a lot closer than people think.
Don't forget that AJ's fights aren't selling out in a day anymore. The Povetkin fight didn't sell out at all. So give the public a better option and they might take it.
