Fighters not being able to speak english is a disgrace

[garfios]

or they could just learn english.

its not like its a hard language to learn like chinese or tamil.

For a young guy it's easier, the problem with the majority of fighters, they do not have the level of education to learn another language, especially spanish speaking boxers. I wish they all could learn, that would be great, but I know how hard it's, so my second wish is the interpreter, they're awful. In any case, I speak both languages.

i mean if you are poor boxer and just starting out, i understand. but if you are a notable boxer who has achieved a certain level of fame and fortune, no excuse.

someone like canleo has no excuse for barely being able to speak english despite all the fame and fortune he has while mexico is right next to the U.S. and knowing that you are gonna have to do business in america.

someone like lara who applied for U.S. citizenship should be able to speak the language.

how you gonna apply for a citizenship to a country yet you dont speak the language?

its not some impossible unreasonable request.

They're missing out, that's for sure, but not a disgrace. Do I care? Not at all.

A disgrace? That's a bit harsh. How many languages do you speak TheIronMike? Isn't it worse that one of the richest nation in the world doesn't have an effective system in place to prepare its citizens to be bilingual? Or why can't the citizens of the US use the huge amounts of information available to just learn multiple languages? Most fighters have never had access to a good education which may also increase the difficulty of learning a new language.

I speak the language that makes me the most money.

A quick Google search had English ranked #5 as the most profitable language

because someone has to talk to the irrelevant tribes.....it won't be me, I refuse to get robbed or killed.

Sure... so you're a basic monolingual saying it's a disgrace poor people from poor countries don't always learn English. You're a hypocrite and you're wrong about speaking the language that makes the most money.

English speaking countries have the highest gdp per capita

[real raw]

With the amount of information that we have access to in the 21st century and more specifically 2020s, fighters should not be having interviews and being completely incapable of speaking english during an interview with english broadcasters.

In the 1980s, Alexis Arguello spoke better english than fighters 40 year later with access to high speed internet!

There is no downside in learning english, it will make you more money during your career, and after boxing for years to come.

Cong**** to Canelo and Cotto, who magnified their career earning potential by keeping up with their english speaking skills!

Who says the WORLD has to comport to your standard?
