Obviously, Im not Mexican.
But I dont think there is a single Mexican or Mexican American on planet earth who would rather watch Cotto vs Canelo over Pac vs Floyd. I can say that with confidence. Mexicans care about watching their boxers, but they care about the sport of boxing more.
Arum wants to honor Mexican people and their holiday? (I cant even write this sentence without chuckling to myself, by the way). But if he wants to honor them, wouldnt putting on the BIGGEST BOXING FIGHT IN HISTORY a great gift to them???
What say you?
You are not Mexican but you choose to speak and thank for them? How about........seeing what ACTUAL Mexicans think about the matter.
Thats exactly what i did.
I swear, i have NEVER in my life heard a Mexican say its offensive to them that non-Mexican fighters fight on that holiday. They just want a good ass fight. Like all of us.
Even now, its actually Pac fans who ride with Arum's fake outrage. And these Pac fans aint Mexican.
I am Mexican, and I would definitely watch Pacquiao vs Mayweather over any other boxing fight. That being said, Canelo vs Cotto kills anything that isn't Pacquiao vs Mayweather. I was one of the idiots who bought Mayweather vs Maidana 2, and since then I bowed to not buy any other Mayweather fight unless he fights Pacquiao. So I suppose I would agree with the TS to some degree, but honestly I wouldn't mind it if Mayweather was forced off the date, his fights are not really big hits at any fight parties, too boring for most people, and last fight was terrible even for me.
It is not even a Mexican holiday..more of a American holiday..and if they gave a damn about Canelo why did his last 2 ppv combined not even come close 2 a million?
i give 2 ****s about what fights takes place and when. doesn't it sound like I'm saying canelo should get the date? I'm saying it's irrelevant to the damn holiday.
What's with the mexican's obsession with Canelo? Is it because of his looks? He is overrated as hell and he did not beat Lara imo . He's a solid champion with good power but he's no JCC.
There is no Mexican obsession.he had a shot at the spot light and got embarrassed and to make it worse th judges tried to rob Floyd..the entire night was a disgrace

their holiday is bigger than a ****ing fight, canelo having it just adds something extra to the celebrations.

As a Mexican fan I could only speak for myself since everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Personally I could careless what date a super fight falls on as Long as they are being made. If two massive fights fall on the same date I could simply dvr one and watch it right after the first event. Dates don't really mean ***** to me aside from an excuse to make parties and get hammered while watching some great fights :)
