Damn good question.
To people who know f*ck all about boxing already
Know his name and so sponsors & commercial people will be smashing his door down to get a piece of him.
He is going to have to take a beating.
His commercial people if they are clever with
him will see Tommy Fury make an obscene amout
Of money
For example I know a boxer who made £250,000 from advertising a brand of training shoes.
Another 6 figure sum was made from wearing a new england top to the ring

No.
He wasn't a draw when he boxed Jake Paul, he was the opponent of a draw.
If he goes into unlicensed and 'boxes' KSI he isn't a draw, he is the opponent of a draw who only wants to beat him to one up a sort of rival.
If he beats KSI he still won't be a draw, BUT he will be attractive to whoever else is in that YouTube/instagram etc area and when they want to one up Jake Paul and KSI, they will be the draw.
As long as people who can generate an audience want to punch him, I am sure he is happy.

No, but he's 'one of the bigger draws'
IF he beats KSI then Paul again in a rematch, he can retire as undefeated YouTube Champion of the World.

Are you aware of the money he is making from
Fronting up misfits?
I have a feeling your post is born out of your annoyance at youtube boxers.
Lets get something right he is ALREADY making more money than the average boxer.
At this present time its only elite level boxers who can compete with him financially

No… jake Paul was the draw in there fight, ksi will be the draw if this goes ahead…
There is no one tommy can beat that is not a celebrity that will draw any attention… hence he is not the biggest draw in uk boxing…

If we are talking strictly public perception instead of numbers then you would have to argue that Tommy Fury for better or for worse would be one of the top three draws in all of British boxing. Go down any street in England and if you asked people to name five British boxers they might say, "Tyson and Tommy Fury, Lennox Lewis, David Haye, and Anthony Joshua." I'm talking about the general public. Not boxing fans in general.

Nah.
I’m not annoyed by YouTubers doing unlicensed boxing, it’s just not ‘proper’.
The money made is a separate issue to being a draw. He isn’t ‘making’ good money, he has made good money once and that was generated by the opponent, he is not the draw.
He would (I believe it looks like will?) make good money doing an unlicensed fight with KSI. His value there isnt because he draws an audience, it is because KSI does and he wants to do something that Jake Paul couldn’t.
