    I don't think HBO or K2 are calling him an "honorary Mexican" or saying Mexicans should take pride in him because he "fights like a Mexican."

    They're just using his fighting style (after an interview he gave after beating Geale at MSG) as a promotional tool to target Mexican boxing fans because A LOT of Mexican fans enjoy come-forward styles/and fighters fight that way (not all, obviously) I'm not Mexican but there's no way it's meant in disrespect..... GGG was the one who unintentionally started it by saying he fights with a Mexican style after his Geale fight- but he said it in a very respectful way. Like he respects and admires the "Mexican Style"
    So after over 30 fights he says mexican style unintentionally? And right after that he fights a Mexican on the west coast?Yeah right. He was obviously told to use that word in the interview to set up his first west coast fight. Dont be naive is a planed marketing tool they are using.

      GGG speaks broken Kazakhstan english, looks white as hell, and comes from Europe.

      It'd be pretty hard to force people to adapt him as a Mexican. It's the fans coming to see him and you can blame Kellerman probably for this Mexican style crap. Although I think GGG and Sanchez say they try to guide themselves after Chavez Sr.'s fighting style.

            He said it a few times before that night if you've ever watched his videos, his trainer is a Mexican-American.

              Obviously they're using it as a marketing tool- read my post, I just said they're using his fighting style as a promotional tool for one of the biggest fanbases in boxing.

              I'm just saying I don't think it's meant to be disrespectful, on their behalf. That poster said he was offended.

              And I don't know, I think you may be reaching. They didn't have an agreement to have his next fight on the West Coast. At that time they were trying to build him up to sell tickets at MSG. How do you know that when he gave that interview, they already had him lined up to fight on the West Coast? Him saying Mexican style definitely could of been unintentional.

                  It's smart promoting and it's working well. You seem to have some sort of agenda here. Trying to discredit GGG by attacking his promotion. A Cotto fan should have more respect for himself and the sport. You're very transparent.
