Why does Floyd Mayweather fight on Mexican Holidays?

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

me and my friends were talking about this. He seems to just fight on cinco de mayo and mexican independence day. Is there a reason for this? We thought maybe he has a big mexican fan base but we notice a lot of them boo him when he is fighting. What do you think?

more money maybe?

floyd fights latin fighters on latin holidays for ppv reasons. It's a smart business move, but if you're the true ppv king and your name alone is the reason people buy ur fights like floyd claims it shouldn't matter what race u fight and what date u fight on becuz people will pay to see u. But floyd relies on his latin opponents fan base to sell on ppv along with a loaded latin undercard. If floyd was the true ppv king have him fight another african american fighter with his mayweather promotion fighters on the undercard on mlk day and see if he sells on ppv.

would u do it if it meant more millions in your pocket? Yes

Ohhh. That makes sense. So in general, the Hispanic audience is the main audience who actually buy ppv's hence why he is fighting on those days. Wouldn't hispanic people be pissed that a African American is fighting on their holidays? I would imagine they would want to see their own have those dates.

Mexicans make up most of the fan demographics of current boxing.

So.... u take their holiday, and embarrass their nationalism by outboxing their p4p contender on that day.

GENIUS. PURE UNADULTERATED GENIUS. They'll pay just to see you fall.


(Probably explains why Bradley/Pacquiao 2 did surprisingly well.... my whole apartment complex (full of Mexicans) were watching that fight like Stanford professors trying to analyze why Pac could outbox Bradley but Juan couldn't. )
