      Man English one of the hardest languages to learn. The same word can mean like 100 things. And now the LBQAOS ppl and their new daily word games makes it hard for me to even understand.

        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!
        Your starting to lap the field for terrible takes on this site. An avatar of Bozo the clown would suit you. Who gives at what language someone speaks!? Maybe they don’t care about maximizing revenue and appealing to a wider audience. Maybe a dude just likes to fight and he speaks one language. Get over yourself.

          Like the word Punk! Can mean Punk like in music? Or a useless person. Call someone in prison that and you getting shanked... That means a LOT worse to them...

                    Roberto Duran’s career was a disgrace because he couldn’t speak English.

                    Just spoke in poverty language jibber jabber.

                      Seems you have comprehension problems.....we are discussing marketing not resume's or career performances. Good red herring though....NOT.
