Why do some posters keep saying Cinco de Mayo is reserved for Mexican fighters?

[LeG00N]

Yeah, Ortiz has a massive fan base?? Mayweather secures the biggest purse guarantees since ODLH and Tyson. Why aren't the opponents who in your view are actually selling his fights getting that kind of bread? Instead they happily settle for the crumbs Mayweather knocks off the table. Marketable opponents help, but as of today Mayweather will sell 1 million PPV or more with almost any viable opponent. If you think Ortiz contributed more than 50K buys in the last PPV you are tapped........

.........

like I said name 1 opponent that Floyd had fought that didn't have a following of his own and wasn't Mexican.... where he sold a million plus ppvs or even got close.


Fighting the Mexican Ortiz on Mexican independence day doesn't count ...

Mexican people hear "a young Mexican champ is going to fight Floyd on Mexican independence day " and they'll buy it every time.

Mosley has his own following.... even if he's not a ppv seller by himself

he contributes to the sells of big fights.

Which following would that be? The same ones that brought the PPV against Sergio Mora?

Mayweather vs Alvarez 5 De Mayo

[Larry the boss]

When was the last time one of his opponents wasn't Mexican, and didn't have their own fan base? and how many PPVs did he sell then?

we saw how many Pacquiao sold when he fought Clottey

Mosley isnt mexican and cant sell **** on his own and Manny and Floyd both did over a million with him.on Cinco De Mayo

.......you guys aren't following.


see accommodating to the Mexican fans is almost a sure way to sell PPV's if you do it on a Mexican holiday it will obviously boost it sells.
in what fight that didn't involve a Mexican..has Floyd sold that much?
against Ricky Hatton, and it was against an undefeated popular British fighter....

the date isn't reserved just for Mexican fighters but unless Floyd is fighting a somewhat popular fighter from another country. He isn't going to sell the same.
.fighe


would Floyd really sell a +Million if he fought Peterson, Bradley or Kirkland on the 4th of July?

That doesn't even make sense.




The point is that Mayweather does not have to fight a Mexican fighter to sell his fights. Or any other non American fighter.


If Hatton was the draw why did he sell less against Pacquiao?


And since when did Shane Mosley come from a country other than America?
