Is sad the way they are marketing GGG as an Honorary Mexican

GGG's face is goofy af. I wish the shirt had more quality to it, I'd buy one.

The hair kind of makes him look like Chavez Jr in that pic.....if you look really quickly again. Or maybe that's just me

Its sad how people (HBO) uses the word Mexican as a verb and not a noun when referring to boxing especially GGG. Its actually quite insulting, in no way does GGG do anything for Mexicans as a nationality, not all Mexicans are come forward fighters, and being Mexican American Id think itd be safe to say no Mexican would go for GGG if he fought any Mexican unless the Mexican was a cheat or a chester.

Trying to get the biggest fan base in Boxing to treat him as one of their own so they can get that money. Ohhh lets not forget he is the next Chavez Sr!!! ****ing joke.

I know right.. It's like a black guy fighting on Mexican holidays or something hoping to cash in on the biggest fan base in the sport.. The audacity of these fellas..

Wasn't the crowd against Rubio very Pro-GGG?


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"

They use it as an adjective, actually, not a verb. Are American schools really that bad that people do not know the difference?
