    But TS thinks Mexicans are not a big factor.
    Haha that's pure pwnage right there.

    Off topic: Vida means life and Guerra means war so Vida Guerra means?

        Your out of your mind is what I'm saying. I never said other nationalities don't sell but if you don't think for one second that Mexican fighters aren't a huge factor, you haven't been paying attention.

        I don't know if you are trolling or what but if you are serious, then why do boxing matches take place on Mexican holidays? Why does Floyd come out with a sombrero?

        Why does boxing pander and cater to Mexican fans and fighters so much? I can argue that it's been Mexico that has kept boxing relevant for so long. If you look at the biggest names in boxing, many of them have been Mexican.

        We sell PPV's, we go to watch the fights and we are the best most knowledgeable fans in the sport. I'm not saying that to be arrogant, it's the truth.

        With all due respect to Filipino fans, they didn't really start getting into boxing until Pac. It's been Latino fans and boxers who have carried the sport and specifically Mexicans.

            As a Filipino fan, I agree with you although we've been in boxing for almost a hundred years. It's just that geography has hindered the entry of our best talents to USA boxing scene and been only noticed again when pac came entered the scene.

                  Are you seriously comparing English fighters to Mexican fighters? You are using Canelo and Jr as your measuring stick?

                  What about the many Mexican and Mexican/America fighters that have come before them? England has had some great fighters but boxing is not in England what it is in Latin America and specifically Mexico.

                  Come on man, you can say what you want but the facts show different. I don't know where to go to find PPV numbers but DLH's numbers a lone blow almost everyone in the history of the sport out of the water, let's be real.
