Not any more, Travieso was the most popular fighter in Mexico because of that big brother show. That was when Boxing wasn't on network but now it's Canelo's time.

Margarito is still more popular than both those guys combined. JMM has never been loved by the Mexicans although he is probably more well known now than he was during his peak years.
He's never been loved because he hasn't fought in Mexico since 1994, also Boxing pretty much died in Mexico since it was off network TV. People didn't even know who he was until recently.
Only about 27% of the Mexican Population has internet but here are the numbers on Google trends for Mexico.
