Much like the "world" winners of things like the Superbowl and WWE Wrestling - Time I think is very much seen as an American brand and not much notice is take of things like "Man of the Year" outside of it.
It's a shame it's being bought by this lot though - of course they can make their man of the year whoever the like now, including Trump and other controversial people.

- astura 9y ago??? Trump has already been Person of the Year, 2016. There have already been controversial figures named Person of the Year in the past, such as Vladimir Putin, politicians (including American presidents, Newt Gingrich), popes, and protesters. I think Kissinger was Person of the Year too. It's meant to be someone who has had the most influence, not necessarily someone whose been "the best." Also you got the World Series confused with the Super Bowl.
