Ok
Mayweather has fought 10 times since crossing over with Oscar. Four of those opponents are Mexican. Go figure.

The other 6 were who? Ricky Hatton who had an unrivalled following in the UK. Shane Mosley who had been twice on PPV with Oscar. Miguel Cotto who had a huge PR fanbase. Marcos Maidana twice who is Hispanic. Oritz who is Mexican-American. And Manny Pacquaio....
I suppose it's also a coincidence that he floods his undercards with Mexican fighters.
Floyd vs. Alexander does a million buys. Believable.

Mosley...Black.
Cotto...Puerto Rican (yeah...they care about Cinco de Mayo)
Maidana...Argentine (yeah...they care about Cinco de Mayo)
Ortiz
Pacquiao
Bottom line, there is no holiday in May. Second, it's clear his opponent choice is based on popularity and buzz, not race.

Dirk talking about Cinco De Mayo is about the funniest **** I have ever seen. No one celebrates that day because of whatever it indicates, it's another St. Patricks Day and an excuse to drink. In fact, Canelo has a better shot of taking over St. Patty's day weekend considering as many Mexicans drink on that day as they do Cinco De Mayo lol.
Seriously, Cinco De Mayo in the US = St. Patricks Day in the US. One day you drink green beer the other one you drink Corona. It does NOTHING for PPV buys.
