      USA by a landslide.

      The US has 3 fighters in the top 5 P4P according to the Ring and TBRB; Mayweather Jr, Ward, and Bradley.

      Mexico has 2 fighters in the top 10 P4P according to the Ring and TBRB; JMM and Canelo (the Ring) and JMM and Estrada (TBRB).

      The US has 4 Ring champions, Ward at 168, Mayweather at 154 and 147, and D. Garcia at 140.

      Mexico has 0 Ring champions.

      The US has 3 TBRB champions, Ward at 168, Mayweather at 154, and D. Garcia at 140.

      Mexico has 0 TBRB champions.

                On boxrec the flag on his profile is the Mexican flag. And if he won a world title it would be attributed to Mexico.

                That's what I was saying about Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia and Omar Figueroa. Personally I view D. Garcia as Puerto Rican, and M. Garcia and Figueroa as Mexican, but their titles are all attributed to the United States because they were born there.

                    Mexico has better fans but the US clearly has the better line up of fighters right now.

                    But it doesn't matter because fans drive the spoer and US fighters couldn't fill up arenas if you gave away tickets for free.
