Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Mosley: Strong Hispanic Undercard is Planned

[Check]

bro you don't know what you are talking about.i live in az and here in the southwest mexicans are the ones keeping the sport alive. We buy all the ppv over here.

And there's a reason why that happens. You stack the card with a certain country then you will alienate others. I've hosted so many boxing cards and the first complaint is, "boxing is just a mexican thing". You need to mix these cards up so Americans watching can look forward to one of their own. There's a reason we rarely see white Americans box, other than they aren't good. Kids of that color don't have anyone to look up to and say "wow, I can be like that guy". Mix the cards up, please.

firstly latinos are responsible for buying most of the boxing ppvs regardless if the fighters involved are latinos or not.secondly,theres simply more mexican or mexican -american or latino champs than anyone else, then its europeans,and asians, american fighters are at an all time low as far as active good fighters, as there are much easier jobs nowadays, in the 50s white fighters dominated,america needs far more fighters were down to mosley and mayweather ,pavlik hopkins and very few others. the passion is simply waned or something.its not favoritism or racism or any other typ of ism its a numbers thing.plus it also helps that latino boxers usually bring the war on.

Exactly right, CHICKEN FLOYD is never the draw, the mexican undercards are the ones that will help sell this fight. I urge everyone that hates CHICKEN FLOYD like I do to not buy this fight and wait to see it for free on HBO. If this fight does well, it's because of the mexican undercard, and SHANE MOSLEY not CHICKEN FLOYD.

I have to agree with this guys...BOXING and SOCCER has been a big part of latino households. Relevent to what this guy is saying that most of the top boxers, or champions in the lower weight classes are LATINOS...mexican in particular. Thats the reason why PACQUIAO fought mexicans, PACQUIAO fought the best in the lower weight class and they were latinos (mexican, puerto rican, cuban, dominican rep. etc.) not blacks....I rest my case on PACQUIAO dodging black fighters...HE BEAT BLACK FIGHTERS AND HE WILL BEAT ONE COME MAR 13...yOU CAN GET ANY BLACKER THAN FIGHTING SOMEONE FROM AFRICA....

They know they need hispanics to sell ppv's.

Holy F**** the punisher is at that weight!!!! Ahh heeeelllll nnaaawwww and oh JR did u know that mr James Kirkland will b killing opponents again when he gets out dis year!!!! Omg u better get the hell out of dis division Jr cuz if u even wana make a mark on your record U will HAVE TO beat one of thsese guys and of am I forgting other good fighters in dis division specially Martinez!!!!

That is right, they should feed him to Martinez, he is the easiest and less scary from all the ones you mentioned, and I still guarantee you that JR will get KOed badly.....

Heīs not half Mexican, he just has some Mexican influence in his style due to the fact that he has sparred/trained with Mexicans/ Latinos because he is from L.A. and southern California has a huge Mexican-American population. In New York city itīs the oppposite. Puerto Ricans have been influenced by African Americans in their boxing style.

I agree with you. But besides soccer and boxing, Latinos like baseball pretty much, especially the people from the caribbean, Venezuela, and northwestern Mexico.

Listen potorro, Mosley won because he used his huggung tatctics and got away with it. Mayewather never hurt Marquez, even though he was much smaller. On the other hand, Margarito had destroyed Cintron and Cotto.
