Why was the crowd yelling "rocky sucks" ??

[We want Floyd]

yep i was a boxing fan since basically 1 year before boxing came back to life here in mexico....and for that whole year, people thought i was kind of crazy for liking boxing....serously mexicans are ****ing great in boxing and mediocre at soccer, yet soccer is 1000000 times more popular......i cseriously cant understand why???....

I agree with you, alot of non-mexicans who are fans of boxing here in the U.S have this big misconception that mexicans are huge on boxing. From my own experience, the majority of businesses I've worked for we always have had a good percentage of mexican employees and i've only met one mexican that actually followed boxing, the rest don't give a rat's #ss, they know of the names DLH and Chavez and that's about it. No different than us Americans, who hardly follow boxing anymore, we only know the names Tyson and Ali.

BTW.....what makes people think boxing is important in Mexico???the fanbase mexican fighters have is basically 95% mexican-american....

Because the majority of boxers of mexican descent are not mexicans born in the U.S. but originate from South of the border

yeah thinking again, i guess youre right...

but i do find it strange that they would rather cheer for JMM than for their coutryman Rocky...considering most of them only see boxing as a race thing...guess it makes you look more mexican if you root for the mexican (im talking about very casual fans here, real followers would obviously have enough knowledge of the boxers to like whoever they want more...)

Kind of bothered me too. Dude still kept chugging after getting his ass handed to him. Could at least show him a little respect.

I had no idea boxing wasnt big in Mexico. They lead you to believe the complete opposite.

the thing that most bthers me about people thinking boxing is big in mexico is that they try to use it as an excuse to say a lot of mexico's population are boxers and thats why theres a lot of mexican champions.......i bet boxers are a VERY LOW percentage of the population....
