Why is Pac and Hatton fighiting 5 de Mayo week end?

[shadeyfizzle]

The most ******ed aspect of this thread is that Cinco de Mayo isnt even a Mexican holiday. It's an american holiday.

MAybe to get the mexican fans who like Pacquiao watch the fight.
What's wrong with that????

I would assume they pick a Pinoy Holiday. This will be the first time in many years that a top Mexican fighter hasn't fought in this 5 de Mayo weekend, boxing riding on the shoulders of the Mexican boxing fan.

Cuz Pacquiao beat all the Mexicans and Ricky wears a sombrero.

Why not have them fight that weekend? It's a big party weekend in this country...for Mexicans and non-Mexicans alike.

If there's no other big-name Hispanic fighter available to fill the slot, the next best thing is to have two ring warriors like Pac and Hatton go at it with their crowd-pleasing "Mexican" style of fighting. It's okay with me, it'll be an exciting fight to watch with a packed house of friends over!

Who would you prefer to fight that weekend? The Margarito-Cotto rematch would've been huge that weekend, but it'll be big on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade in NY too. So who else???

Maybe if Juan Diaz and Juan Manuel Marquez were bigger names, that would also be a good option for that weekend. That fight will be big in Houston when it happens, but probably wouldn't do that great anywhere else.

Hatton-Pacquiao on Cinco de Mayo is all good with me!

And ferocity have the galls to claim 5-de mayo a weekend holiday....LMAO!

BTW, in the Philippines, Mayo Uno (May 1) is labor day. So the fight is actually a Mayo-Uno holiday weekend for Pinoys.

It's the same thing in Mexico, May 1st is Día del Trabajo.

Cinco de Mayo IS a holiday in Mexico...but not celebrated on the scale that it's celebrated here in the States. It's become very commercialized and it's basically just a reason to eat, drink and party...to be an "honorary Mexican" for the day!

You're the idiot, you too much of a Piony wannabe to understand how 5 de Mayo is celebrated every weekend closest to 5 de Mayo.

And you got owned again, even after you put in all those hours of research cause as a poster mentioned in Mexico 1 de Mayo is also a Mexican Holiday.

Too nutthugging Flips in this thread go suck it , go and have your guy fight on a Holiday of your own bitchs!

To even compare 1 of May to 5 de Mayo, lmao, how ****en desperate can a flip be.
