Im kind of torn right now being half mexican. I dont know if I should be happy or mad at Floyd. I dont know if he wore the colors because it was Cinco de Mayo and was just paying tribute, or if he was wearin them to poke fun and try to make fun of Oscar and disrespect the mexican fans.
:dunno:
eitherway I give the guy credit. He is a better fighter than Ive given him credit for and his personality has made me a fan. Oscar let it slip away but it was close.
Former boxer ahmed santos interviewed him for the spanish sports show republica deportiva and he said he did it because de la hoya isn't a true mexican and he was avenging JCC's loss on cinco de mayo. Even santos was skeptical about it but said floyd sounded very genuine, i think he was mocking and most of the people i was with found it in bad taste. he alienated a lot of people with that little mocking display, if it was he said, he should have said that before.
it was in very bad taste. We all know that Mayweather is not of respectable character. He is like a child. Many times behaves like a ******.
i think he didnt do it in an offensive way, i think he was trying to gain the mexican public, he was very serious, if he had come out with a smile in his face and doing faces it would be another story. but i think he does like mexico, i have a photo of him with jorge arce both with sombreros charros.
but if he did it becasue of his uncle i still dont care because JCC take care of him.

learn some history.ahaha. His uncle used to wear that cause they called him the mexican assassin. And pbf was going for a mexican to beat. self explanitory. gotta patch the shit a bad guy in boxing would do.
i was going to say that lol
I know that, but since its on Cinco de Mayo it raises the question. He didnt seem to be like trash talkin or playin it up. When he fought Baldomir its was Breast Cancer awareness and the official color of that is pink and he wore Pink gloves just like Monte Barret did but his outfit was also pink, so did he wear pink cause he liked it or for the breast cancer awareness month??
I still think it was cause his uncle did it,and he has beat some pretty good mexicans. So it just goes with it I guess.
Isn't Floyds tape man Mexican. I don't think Floyd was mocking Mexican fans I think he was trying to win them over. Just my opinion, I'm probably wrong.
It all depends..
If he did that to the Italians it would be a big fucking deal.
If he did that to the Irish it would be a big fucking deal.
If he did that to the Germans they would laugh..
In the actual Southwestern American Black/Latino politics that was a small attack compared to the death bounty the MM has put on anyone who is Black, and Snoop Dog burning the Mexican flag in Long Beach..
Make of it that you will. :fing02:
Forget Floyd, from this moment on im imposing sanctions on his ass and not purchasing a ticket, ppv event, or any product he endorses for at least a year.
Boycott Floyd!
You think he is going to give a shit when he's retired? :smashfrea

Wow. Cannot believe peeps haunting a boxing forum dont know the referancing. Guess I'm just old. VERSATILE2K7 nailed the correct. Roger Mayweather was "The Mexican Assassin" and used to wear the same getup. I cracked up laughing, it was perfect.

How would they not know what Cinco De Mayo is? Every american knows what Independence Day is to us, so whats the difference?
I don't know, maybe the difference is that Cinco de Mayo has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Independence Day, American, Mexican, or otherwise.
