Brazil is more respected in the world.
Brazil has a population nearly 20 times larger than Portugul, so there are more Brazilian Portuguese speakers worldwide. Brazil is more respected in the world.
The most widely spoken Indo-European language is English, with over 1.5 billion speakers worldwide.
Brazil is the largest Portuguese-speaking country in the world with a population of over 200 million people, compared to Portugal's population of around 10 million. Additionally, Brazilian Portuguese has a strong cultural influence globally through music, TV shows, and movies, which has led to its prominence in the Portuguese-speaking community.
The difference is something like American English to British English. The reason Brazilians tend to have more difficulty with European Portuguese, is because we do not get exposed to their accents. Ever... It's rare for a Brazilian to hear the European version of our language. But the Portuguese get bombarded with Brazilian media, such as music, tv shows.
English with 2 billion speakers it doubles the next highest, Mandarin, with 900million speakers.

Maybe because Brazil is known to be more of a touristic country than the other Portuguese-speaking countries. So people tend to talk more about Brazil. From the language point of view, I've heard from some Portguese students that the Brazilian accent is way easier to learn and understand than the european one. As in opposite to the brazilian accent, in the european-accent, they don't open their mouths as much to speak, omit many letters while pronouncing some words and pronounce some words together, as if they were one. I'm not saying that they pronounce wrong, it is all about the accent and it's characteristics. I hope it helped ahhaha ;) Cheers.

[1] Brazil has the largest population of Italian speakers living outside of Italy, and the second largest population of German speakers living outside of Germany. [2] There are also Spanish speakers; and speakers of East European languages, such as those of the former Yugoslavia.
There are approximately 90-100 million native speakers of German worldwide.
To give you an immediate idea, think about UK English vs USA English. It's the same thing. They understand each other (except for slang language) but they speak and write in different ways. A foreigner learning Portuguese will find Brazilian Portuguese much easier, for instance.
