Max Kellerman discredits Mexican fighters

[ShoulderRoll]

Mexican fans have taken a shine to Maidana even though he is from Argentina.

Why do you think they like him and not Rigo or Lara?

I hope this is a sarcastic parody thread of that other thread saying what Rigondeaux said was racist.

Maybe you guys should PM each other and gang up on Kellerman by reporting him for racism, and he may get a 1 week ban.

What he means is that there's a large amount of Mexican-Americans in the US that always show support to their fighters from Mexico. Cuba doesn't have that.

Stop being so sensitive.

sensitive? I don't know what waters you're from or if you are used to being dissed without being offended but that was disrespect. No we ain't used to letting that s*it go out in Cali. My thread was true story not a freakin joke fool

Homie, Mexican fighters have a built in fan base like Brazilian soccer players.

It's their thing. It's what they do. It's what they know. No need to get politically correct on this one.

Wth, it's our thing like any other sport to Mexican Americans. Most Latinos here ain't even up on boxing but you ask about USC or Raiders or Lakers and they talk your ear off. Maybe it's what they know in Mexico, but here in the states don't know if you know this but we have assimilated into society like everyone else. Politically correct? He said that s*it with an attitude toward Mexicans. You have to be a rock not to pick up on that Homie!

[huh?]

stop whining about nothing. ****in crybaby central here sometimes

"Ya well, Mexican boxers come from right across the border and already have a built in fan base here."

He's implying that the only fans Mexican boxers get are strictly From Mexico.

Your reading comprehension is bad.

I grew up with Mexican Americans. Trust me, growing up all my Mexican buddies were forced to watch some JCC or they damn sure knew about Oscar or Fernando Vargas. That's how I got into boxing.

Matter of fact, only my Mexican and black buddies know ANYTHING about boxing, and even care about it.

My Asian and white buddies don't even care. I have like 2-5 Asian/white buddies that are somewhat knowledgeable, and all they care about is Floyd/Manny.

Bigger fan bases than all the cubans combined lol

Of course Mexican fighters have fans outside Mexico and Mexican-Americans. I am, and have been, a fan of certain Mexican boxers. But you're crazy if you think that their built-in fanbase isn't the major reason for their popularity. Even the great Marquez wouldn't have gotten so much notoriety outside of his Mexican fanbase it wasn't for Pacquiao. Kellerman said nothing that wasn't true.

JMM wasnt a popular fighter with mexicans until he got older and started to get hit more, and obviously pac helped.

Good for you brother. I may be a little crazy but what's the major reason for everyone else's popularity like Russian, Philipino, or Black fighters? Is it due to their race only backing them? I think they do good either way. And the Marquez comment, almost equal number of Mexicans are a fan of Pacs. So what's Rigos excuse? Are you telling me that Mexicans can't make it big without the Mexican people backing them, but everyone else can? MK was out of line with that **** as always.
