mayweather uses mexican holidays and mexican opponent

[Left Hook Tua]

no one worth noting

you're right.

i'm sure having mexicans on the undercard wouldn't help on cinco de mayo and mexican independence day weekend.

i'm sure it's just coincidence all of his fights, except one, was early may and mid september.

[The Big Dunn]

so floyd exploits mexican fans by fighting on cinco de mayo. He isn't a draw its the other guy.

I'm not a draw either. you think if I fight May 5th I can make $35 plus mil. I could sure use that, especially with the holiday season approaching.

it's not exploiting, nitwit.

it's called smart business.

mexican-americans make up a good pct of boxing fans.

pac/arum does it too. top rank specialty. that's why arum is still going strong and don king isn't. DK cornered the heavyweight market, TR the smaller weight and latino market.

Thanks, I was unaware of that. I was just using the general context the TS used.

And yes, ARum has been smart about targeting ethnnic groups and marketing to them. He has recently signed a number of non american olympians.

King had tyson, chavez and tito. he didn't groom an adequate replacement for either.

He will draw people anyways these days. And I can't blame him for a successful strategy in the past.

Nowadays it does not matter who he fights. He will draw.

He is so deep into Showtime that them and their affiliates will market the **** out of him.

He barely drew 700k for the Guerrero fight which is a fail considering the outrageous amount of money shotime threw at him.

You gotta love it when a guy who has the highest 2 PPV grossing boxing cards in the sport's history is being called a 2nd tier superstar using Mexicans to get his #'s only.lmbbo

It's called "Prize Fighting" for a reason.


Floyd is a superstar.
Manny is a superstar.

In the words of the great ref,Miles Lane," Lets get it on !!!"

Can't wait for another great weekend of boxing.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

floyd and his team maximize profits,,

the most profitable ppv slots are the mexican holidays, so floyd and his team make fights on those weekends,,
Great business move,,,


If floyd isnt a draw, then why doesnt manny go head 2 head on the mexican holidays like wwf/wcw use to do,,
Reason is: cable companies know floyd is the bigger draw and would cater to him and not manny, so manny and every other ppv fight is regulated to other dates

Why doesn't he fight on MLK day?

You do MLK day is on a workday(Monday) right?

[Hougigo]

Called being smart
