I don't think Jr is a boxing star I know it. It's not determined by the opinion of random individuals with biases, it's about what numbers are generated en masse. There's only two bigger crossover stars in the UK - AJ and Haye. Now what happens from here is yet to be determined.
If I didn't know you better , and know that you're knowledge overall is far greater than mine, I would think you're trolling! if you seriously believe what you're writing, I'm stunned.
4th ITV PPV - the first 3 probably had an aggregate click total of about 20,000 people tops! the 4th one and the fact that the MEN Arena was "Packed out" are down to Groves, Pure and simple. He fucking sold out Wembley ffs! And Froch freely admits it wasn't possible without Groves and that it was mainly because of him.
Working with other promoters - Who? You're talking about a guy who turned down a rematch with BJS for £1M to fight for a British title for £120k. The same guy turned down over £3M to fight GGG to fight for another £100k. wake up and smell the coffee man!
Crossover Star - What the fuck does that mean? if you mean "can get on the front and back pages of the papers and get on Good Morning TV," then Khan knocks him into a paper bag and that's worked well over the years hasn't it?
to become this "Crossover star" that you continually drool about, you have to take care of business in the fucking ring first. And in the ring , he has proved himself to be a Novice with lots of "potential" (at 28 ) but limited technical skill , end of.
besides, there are loads of guys that are bigger crossover stars than him (for what it's worth.) Bellew, Fury, Frampton, Even Groves!
the 2 you mentioned (Haye & AJ) have both been WORLD CHAMPIONS , please don't embarrass yourself by countering that with the IBO!
