    How did Saul Alvarez become so big?

    He hasn't really beaten anyone of a big name except a shot Baldomir. That performance was great but he's so popular. If you see him before a fight or post a fight, you can see all the sponsors and stuff he has.

    He already has his buses like the likes of DLH and Pacquiao which can be seen here:


    Not to mention his girlfriend is gorgeous:

    Cuz hes a Mexican Warrior, he was always seen as the next big thing. Its all because of the Ginger Hair and Light Shade of his skin. He is seen as exotic in Mexico and the people who manage him did it properly

      I guess they did a great job of managing him then.

          Yea, he got managed as perfectly as you can get in terms of popularity and his exoticness makes him unique and he's full Mexicano. If he was dark haired and came from some slums I doubt he wouldve gotten the same attention, being a good boxer helps too. Iirc his brother is a boxer too?

            Because he's a Mexican ginger.

            Seeing one of those is more rare than seeing a white tiger in the wild.

              He's huge here in Guadalajara because like Medved said, he's an exotic fighter he loos different and the fact that he has potential pretty much gave him that edge over any other prospect. The guy is good looking so he's marketable.

                What do you mean by that?

                Schaefer said that in his previous fight, before fighting Baldomir, Canelo managed to get 63 million people to watch his fight. I don't know how true that is.
