    Regardless, I don't think he was pandering to Guerrero's massive Mexican fanbase by choosing him.
    They chose Guererro because there were no options and be was the highest ranked Welter.

    And being Mexican didn't hurt.

    Made perfect sense at the time then the big one with Canelo in September.

      Guerrero had the far better story with his cancer wife and weirdo father. His fanbase was about as large as my bedroom.

        If Berto had beaten Ortiz that was the plan. The Garcia/Matthyse winner was groomed to be Floyd's next opponent especially if Lucas won. If Broner was still undefeated he would be mentioned now for a fight not back then.

          2. How many PPV's did Guerrero sell before Mayweather? After?
          Why are you playing dumb?

            He also beat Berto, who was being groomed for a Floyd fight.

              Mayweather literally admits this stuff but his fans know better of course.

              He fought Guerrero because he was his mandatory....ok guys

                Dumb = fake Mexican holiday celebrated by...white people.

                Dumb = marginally popular fighter now needed to sell a million PPV's.

                Mayweather does that # against anyone, pretty much.

                    I agree that Lucas was being groomed for the fight and was expected to win, but Danny just beat dat ass.

                      Exactly Canelo was the big fight; but they needed it to build a little bit more which is why he was going to fight the Trout/Cotto winner instead of going straight to Floyd in May. Floyd needed to shake off the a years layoff. Guerrero just gave a performance worth him being on a hot streak.
