Only dumbass little internet fanboys do that to stir things up. Look at Mikey Garcia's face, if you think he's not Mexican...then I don't know what to tell you..lol

just look at the record chavez jr vs martinez set as far as ppvs goes has to be higher than any ppv pac or floyd has ever did.

And to a different extent I've seen Mexican nationals express individuality by state. It may not be what you were thinking but I see them as separating themselves in a sense. Speaking of Garcia, I'm sure you've seen the current article where Salido criticizes Garcia saying "real Mexicans don't quit". In boxing and MMA I see it as a marketing tactic, but it persists because of the fans. I keep hearing over and over that Mikey "quit" because he's a "pocho".
Edit: the term "pocho" itself is evidence of separation by borders.
At the end of the day though, Mexican blood is Mexican blood and I went to school with many people who were born in Mexico and who weren't and we were all Mexicans.
I don't make that separation because I'm not ignorant.

Canelo is the main opponent now as far as sales! Mayweathers promo banks on his record being undefeated and his "boxers talents"! The kid is undefeated and is considered a "puncher"! Thats the main draw throw in the Mexican piece of the pie and theres your sales! Not sure its a big one but its the biggest Floyd has right now without giving up to much weight!
Man did he mess up not fighting Manny? Who ever lost gets the rematch and they bank 90 million each with two bouts! Two "not so bright fellows"!
Personally I'd rather watch Broner, Donaire, GGG, Ward and a bunch of B rated guys that come to fight!! Tired of the "oldies" yaking the same garbage and watching their decline!!! Juan, Shane, Manny and yes Floyd too,
go home and make some pop corn and watch the young lions fight! Ray.

I mean go walk around and ask average people who Canelo is....some may know, a lot won't. Most anyone that's not eve into boxing knows who Mayweather is.
