Media coverage reflects public interest. When I was in my teens and early-twenties, big fights were always a big deal. The pubs would be packed for them. I don't know how many organisations were operating back then, but it felt like most sports fans knew who the British and world champions were at the standard weights. These days, I don't follow it all and it seems a large percentage of sports fans haven't got a clue what's going on with the sport.
I'd never heard of Josh Taylor before today. When I read your thread title I thought it related to somebody who City were interested in. I'm someone who used to enjoy the big fights, but I haven't watched one for many years.
