Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Canelo: I Will Fight To Get Him May Date!

[budfr]

Yes, I agree. The thing is, let these Mexicans and others like Cotto, Pac, fight in their own countries and see how much PPVs they do. They are all counting on dates in the States. Why?

If you are so cool and a draw, fight in your country, any date, May, September or June (same time zone, anyway), or go elsewhere (non-US), and see how well you draw and how much you make. I bet they won't make as much, maybe 90% less.

Oscar, take Canelo's fights from now on to Mexico, Manila, or Puerto Rico, and pioneer those PPV bonanzas. You shouldn't insult the hand that feeds you, and their great fighters.

This such an ignorant post. First of all, people pay to watch the Mexican fighter, if his foe happens to be black, fine. Secondly, even though the boxing organizations re in Mexico and Puerto Rico, HBO and Showtime are from the US therefore they like to have fights in the US were many Latinos, Asians, Italians, etc or their descendants live. Also, there have been many fights overseas, JC Chavez vs Haugen has the record of assistance in boxing in Mexico City, over 100, 000 people. Did you read well?? 100, 000. With Show time in Mexico hahaha. Guess what Mexican companies sponsor boxing more than black companies that is why you see the word Mexico everywhere and the usual Tecate, Corona, etc. It is not our fault that Floyd is disliked everywhere and HBO and Showtime support foreign boxers hahahaha. And guess what, Oscar is more American than you. He is from El Pueblo de Nuestra Seņora de Los Angeles del Rio de Porcicula. Or L.A. for you hahahahaha. Can you properly pronounce Albuquerque ( my last name by the way), Florida, Colorado, El Paso, Nuevo Laredo, San Antonio, Alamogordo, Santa Fe, Nuevo Mexico ( pun intended ), Los Alamos, Las Vegas( do you know what it means?), San Diego , San Francisco, San Bernardino, etc. Maybe Floyd should fight in .....nevermind you will call me a racist just like you are.

Much ado about nothing. If both camps want to fight on the same date, who are we to say they shouldn't? What's so wrong about having choices? Who would want to see another Haymon mismatches or Floyd running and clinching on a huge ring with a ref that doesn't allow inside fighting? Man it's crazy.
