english helps some in the cross over dept. But, Latinos consistently buy pay per views and are probably this biggest group of boxing consumers (ever notice the "Mexican" beer that endorses all fights)
Maybe the English speaking fighters should learn Espanol as well.Comment

But they should get Cotto and Canelo to speak English, what if the Mayweathers are watching, they wouldn't understand what they're saying and won't be able to read the subtitles.Comment

Fuck outta here! Show me the Law in the U.S.A. where it states that people who perform here, fight, etc MUST speak english.Comment

They can't convey their thoughts without the appropriate diction and broken English just won't do it. They'll end up repeating many of the same lines and yet unable to alter their meaning (think Pacquiao, but worse). Practice your English, sure, but on a show meant to convey animosity, lifestyle, and drama, speak the tongue that comes most natural. This fight deserves a face-off too.Comment

canelo is already a star in spanich speaking countries but he is not here in american yet because he chooses to speak his native tongue even tho he could be winning free fans here if he spoke enclishComment
