We know conor is a bigger star but just by how much?
 
Well Anthony Joshua is a heavyweight
 
Conor can't go anywhere without getting recognized, Joshua is unknown outside the U.K.
 
Joshua is only a big draw in the UK. Conor is a much bigger star globally. He's one of the most recognized athletes on the planet.
 
anthony joshua's last five fights have been at sold out 80,000-90,000 seat stadiums

UFC 229 is not even sold out
 
Anthony would be plenty big in America. Even in canada alot of People know him.

But yea, Conor is more famous for sure.
 
Most coworkers know who Conor is. Only 2 know who Joshua is.
 
Not really close at all, Joshua is a national star, Conor is a worldwide Superstar.

Conor is even a bigger star in Joshua's own country.
 
AJ's Bank account >>>>> Conor's Bank account. Conor uses money to measure his success / marketing power, therefore AJ > Conor.
 
Joshua has a long way to go, he needs to fight in the states thats where the money is in PPV. Many people know who Conor is here and MMA isnt even popular nor does it get aired on tv. Most dont know who Joshua is outside of the UK unless of course you watch boxing.

Lmao every number Conor holds dwarfs AJ

You have no idea what you're talking about

It's easy to sell out 90k seats @ $50 a ticket

It's easy to """hit a million""" when UK PPV is $15

Conor dwarfs AJ's gates with 1/6 of the people & triple the PPV price

That's why AJ & Eddie Hearn didn't want to fight Wilder in Vegas. AJ is a domestic draw. They have no confidence in their international numbers. Eddie would dance naked in the streets for a 7 figure gate in America. That's why AJ specifically asked Wilder for a $50M guarantee and still continued to duck the fight.

Joshua highest gate against Klitschko with 90,000 punters is around £8m, MayMac gate was $55m and UFC 205 & 229 are more than twice Joshua's best with less than 1/4 of the capacity....

That should tell you something about the differing demand and price point each fighter commands, if Conor was to fight in a 90,000 stadium it would bring in 2, 3 times what Joshua did.
 
a lot bigger TS

Joshua still has higher purses though with the exception of the Mayweather fight.

You realize it's in the fighter best interest to declare a low purse which is the way the UFC do it.

Conor hinted in his interview with Ariel that this Khabib fight would earn him about half what he earned against Floyd, so that $40m+.
