    Pacifico, Modelo, Bohemia, Victoria & Dos Equis are all better than Corona & Tecate

      And now,]without Golden Boy Promotions doing his promoting, I wouldn't expect it to improve without some changes.
      It's a pretty whiny and poorly written rant, imo, but there are sure to be some folks who feel this way.

      If there are enough of them, hopefully Oscar (or somebody) will see this dissatisfaction as an opportunity and capitalize on it.

        Yeah, the article itself was pretty bad.

        But I think there's truth to the argument that Haymon doesn't connect very well with Mexican and Mexican American audiences, just like I think there's truth to the argument Arum doesn't really connect with Black American audiences.

          If only Haymon would serve up Leo Santa Cruz... Mexicans that are elite shouldn't a have problems facing anyone...

            Santa Chicken is not elite, he needs to face Rigondeaux.

                  Seems as though Mexican fans are more butthurt than the Mexican BOXERS that join Al Haymon's stable VOLUNTARILY. Sad stuff. Anything to down Al Haymon and his illustrious career huh?

                    I bet the author of this article approves of the Lawsuit. The author of this article is a complete Jabroni.

                      That article is crap, and steve Kim is a douche for tweeting it..

                      Why would any business man want to get rid of the Mexicans,,, they are a very faithful and lucrative fanbase...

                      Author is just butthurt that Mexicans have been losing a lot of big fights recently..

                      Crap article
                      Why steve Kim would retweet it is beyond me.. Just shows he is a schill and a douche
