Why do posters say fighting on days other than Mexican holidays affect ppv#'s?

I dont get it either. Are Mexicans really celebrating that much more on a Saturday when it isn't actually May 5th? Americans don't celebrate July 1st say if that is a Saturday and July 4th is on a Tuesday they celebrate the 4th on Tuesday

In May, there is no football or college football, no NCAA hoops, and basketball playoffs are just starting. Baseball is only one month in. In September, pro/college football is early in season, no or college hoops, baseball is winding down and playoffs haven't started.
Floyd and HBO figured this out and put his fights on these weekends after he beat ODH. when Floyd was out, HBO put Manny on these dates. Only now that Canelo wants the dates and since he didn't beat Floyd nor sells more than he, did he bob and ODH come up with the Mexican angle.
Bob is only running with it because he wants to maximize the revenue for cotto/canelo by having it on the May 2nd weekend when their is little competition for fans attention.
You know all this but pretend otherwise because it acknowledging it means holding Bob/Manny accountable if the fight doesn't materialize.
"bu but Floyd can fight on any date and sell".
Obviously not.
