Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Floyd Mayweather Has Big Hispanic Fan Base

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26KOs) enjoys fighting on two of the biggest boxing dates on the yearly calendar, and both of them revolve around Mexican holidays - Cinco De Mayo in May and Mexican Independence Day weekend in September.

Leonard Ellerbe, adviser and CEO of Mayweather Promotions, says Floyd has a very big Hispanic fan base. This coming Saturday, Mayweather will defend his WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight titles against Marcos Maidana of Argentina in a rematch at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Because Floyd kisses their ass by wearing the color of their flags on his gloves and trunks. It's just so he won't be loudly booed because he knows there's more people who watch to see him lose.

I used to be a big Floyd fan, and I'm Latino. I was a fan even when he wore the same get up as his uncle Roger used to wear (the sombrero). On a side note: I'm not a sensitive guy; but I always wondered why people weren't up in arms about a fighter calling himself "The Mexican Assasin". Can you imagine if a fighter called himself "the black beater" or "the white whooper"??
Weird accepted racism.

Anyways, Latinos love boxing--not Mayweather. And I used to be a big fan. Most just love the sport and all of the participants

not exactly. he's just cornered the market. mexicans are the biggest boxing fans in the usa and floyd fights on the 2 biggest mexican holidays here. not hard to understand why he gets lots of views. whoever fights on those days is gonna do big business. the same formula applies to movie releases. holiday/summer season=big bucks, release a movie in march and you aren't going to do half the numbers.

Floyd's Hispanic fan base consists of guys who want to see him get KTFO.

98% of mexicans that buy fraud fights watch him not because they like his boxing style but they want to witness him lose.

we all know that mexicans hate boring fighters.
