Many reasons.
1) He's in house.
2) He's another Mexican to add to the Mexicutioner's list.
3) He's got his legendary father's name who beat Floyd's trainer uncle Roger previously as a selling point.
4) He's "undefeated" with a record to mirror Floyd's in wins as another selling point. (To the general public it doesn't matter if they were all bums. He's "undefeated".)
5) He holds the WBC Silver Middleweight Championship as another selling point.
Have that fight on Cinco de Mayo and it should do pretty big numbers for an easier fight than Manny actually defending his 8th belt against Martinez or P Will ...or fighting Berto, Angulo, Alexander, Bradley, or old man Mosely.
