Lol @ Amir Khan's, "Viva Mexico!"

[$mannyFresh]

Somebody made him say it. After Wilder won his fight, someone in the ring mentioned it to him and Wilder gave him a look like, "my bad, I forgot."

What was the attendance for last night?

What's saying viva Mexico got to do with Pacquiao? It was a large Mexican crowd and he was showing his appreciation that one of the best fan bases in the sport were there to watch the fight.

That crowd was there entirely to support Molina, but there was just no way they could will their overmatched Mexican-American fighter to victory. Khan's "Viva Mexico!" was simply a PR move, I thought. He was simply trying to build some rapport with huge fans of the sport. I saw nothing wrong with it.

Smart move by Khan, I would have done the same thing. You have to try to gain support from a large boxing audience.

So would I. As a professional fighter, you're basically an entertainer. If you're star, or a potential star, you ought to be playing it up. Wherever you're fighting in the world, you should be seeking to draw more fans. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

I'm a Lara fan and I thought it was a great move when he went in with the Mexican colors in his last fight.

I honestly think he only said it for a cheap pop from the crowd, not actually realizing the implications regarding his friend Pacman and Juan Marquez.

Or maybe it was a shot at Roach's Parkinson disease.
