There's a reason why those dates have become big boxing days, and it's not just because it's Canelo. He's not "given" those dates, as much as he knows the event will naturally be bigger because it's precisely that weekend. His fan base will support him no matter what, but having a fight on either of those holidays will undoubtedly help.
Well sure, but those folks and that energy was still for Ginger. Are you suggesting that if Turki and Ginger's event were switched, Bud or the other's on that card would have generated the same energy?? Turki's event was just down the street and no way did Noche Mexico produce the same energy. I streamed both events and their was quite the difference in reception and fan cheering from both events.
But if you honestly think that Ginger wouldn't have sold the event out nor produced the same level of excitement from his fans had it been held on a different day, well you're entitled to your opinion.
There's a reason the guy is given those Mexican dates and it isn't just because he's Mexican. The guy has a tremendous fan base that no other Mexican since Chavez has had. Neither Marquez nor MAB who I am a fan of never had the same amount of support...Comment

I agree with you, but there have been other, better(in my opinion) Mexican Boxers such as Marquez, Morales, MAB, etc.. who didn't sell like Ginger does nor had those dates on lock. Did you hear how loud those fans were for Canelo??? Those fans were there to celebrate Canelo, they weren't in Vegas Celebrating Mexico's Independence and just happened to pay good money to watch a Mexican fight...

Those fans of his are hardcore fans and will fill up Arenas just to be a part of his event. Does he warrant such loyalty???? I don't know that he does or doesn't but his legion of fans obviously do. Anyone trying to discredit his drawing power is fooling themselves.....Comment

I'm saying Mex Independence day weekend and cinco de mayo weekend are the 2 biggest fight weekends in boxing, regardless of whos fighting. Mayweather, Pac fought on those weekends as well and did great numbers. Boxing kind of always was low key during the summer, kind of always has been for some weird reason.
