biggest draw in boxing ...

[crusader]

Each Klitschko has drawn higher American TV numbers than everyone in your poll except Pac and Canelo, and the crowds for Wlad's last few fights in the US have been around 14-17k, figures that Ward fails to meet even in Oakland.

Boxing isn't limited to a country or two anyway.

The biggest draw for tv is the Indian fighter

Smashed records last week

Whilst it doesn’t surprise me that Anthony Joshua is leading this poll, it seems that (in the UK), David Haye is the bigger draw.

Anthony Joshua versus:
• Jason Gavern = 139,000 (Sky Sports)
• Raphael Zumbano Love = 124,000 (Sky Sports)
• Gary Cornish = 336,000 (Sky Sports PPV)
• Charles Martin = Averaged 275K on Showtime


David Haye versus:
• Mark de Mori = 3m (Dave)
• Arnold Gjergjaj = 2.5m (Dave)
• Wladimir Klitschko = 500 million viewers in 150 countries around the world (Ukraine = 19m; Germany = 16m; UK (Sky Sports PPV) = 1m - unconfirmed)
• Nikolay Valuev = 800K (Sky Sports PPV)
• Audley Harrison = 700K (Sky Sports PPV)

I have no doubt, assuming he can continue to look impressive and unbeaten, that Anthony Joshua can become the biggest draw in UK boxing within the next 12-18 months or so, but he’s not there yet.

I think you raise a good point though. AJ is leading the poll, but is he really that big of a draw already and what is that based on? Does he have more pulling power than Manny, Haye, and Canelo? Does he do bigger numbers than Wlad? Wlad has huge attendance and viewing figures in Germany, has done very well in other European countries, and has a clear edge over AJ when it comes to the US.

AJ certainly looks like he may be on his way to being the sport's top draw though.
