Floyd would never do that, he has too much love and respect for Mexico. He could have done that to Oscar but he didn't.
He is one of the most accomodating fighters in the game when it comes to his fans and he realizes he has a ton of fans here in LA that are Mexican.
case in point
JMM left shortly after his interviews were over. Didn't stay very long to sign anything (it was open to the public)
Mayweather however stayed until just about everyone either got their picture or autograph
Mayweather doesn't give a shit about what color or nationality his fans are he likes them no matter
What people are failing to mention is that their is a lot of racial tension in LA between Black and Mexicans. Countless killing etc...and for Floyd an African American to throw down a Mexican flag in L.A. would do a lot of damage and make problems worse than what they are in that area. The racial tension would go through the roof, and I'm glad Floyd is smarter than that.
If Floyd really had balls he would hold a PC in Mexico and talk shit about Los Zetas....... no amount of running and shoulder rolls would help him survive that!
Naw in all seriousness there is much better ways of promoting this fight without shitting on another team's country. Besides floyd should be original instead of doing somethin Hopkins did already!!!
Listen people, most of you are soft people. At the end of the day it’s all about making money. Plain and simple. I beat you JMM would approve of this action if it increased his cut by a couple of millions. Boxing is a sport thrives on people’s pride. If Floyd threw down the flag, Mexicans all around would rally around him getting Floyds ass.
What good can money be when you have a group of Mexicans wanting to cut your head off for disrespecting the flag? People can take it that personal. There are better ways to hype a fight.
Idiots....you know people have died protecting the American flag and the Mexican flag....just like other flags from other countries...and you's think its a good idea too burn these flags to promote a fight???
wow....
Again people are being thick headed.
Black people = Race.
Mexican is NOT A RACE.
I would approve of JMM throwing down the American flag.
And I would NOT cause Im Mexican...and most Mexicans are not going to accept this either...phuck the boxing match...
And most people would not accept him throwing down the American flag either..including most Mexican Americans....its not a joke..
Hype? that only creates hatred. So the ppv sells more, now what after the fight? he is not just going to say sorry and think it will go away.
these knuckle heads don't think...
what if Marquez were to do a press conference with a KKK suit and a hood...???
I definitely think he should do it. mexicans love their flag.
pull what's up with that man. that should never be done to anybody. i think it should be a felony to disrespect anybodys country like that in the USA. for one i am puertorican and i would get murderous if anybody throws the american and puertorican flag to the ground or damages it image. it's like spitting in someones face. here in the usa we are a multicultural country and we should always respect people, even if we dont like it. i for one dont feel any sort of "war" against mexicans of any sort, true, i dont ever look at them when im out on the streets ( i live in san diego ) theres many mexican gangs and kidnapping and im just straight up scared of getting shot for looking wrong at a cholo but i just play it cool cuz i always end up being told 'are you puertorican???!?!?" because the way i talk but i gotta accept that this is a mexican area or w.e but i respect them. i really admire floyd and i would never forgive him for that, he's a smart person unlike bernard that plays to the whole ghetto stereotype and did it. if he does it man i dont know but i dont think mexicans would let it slip like puertoricans did that one time. this thread is very dangerous subject and im surprised there's people ignorant enough to say that, i know their americans and millions have died for that flag ( yeah i guess it's the infantryman in me) be mature people.
It creates more hype. More hype means more money.
and if Marquez were to disrespect black people...you'd have Al Sharpton crying all over the news....
STFU....
It creates more hype. More hype means more money.
Hype? that only creates hatred. So the ppv sells more, now what after the fight? he is not just going to say sorry and think it will go away.
They're not going to Mexico for a press conference. If he threw down the Mexican flag in the US it's just a bitch move. If he goes to Mexico City and throws it down like Hopkins in PR, it would be good hype.
