NYC is like 4 hours away from Boston??? Your user name says Bronx. You of all ppl should know West Coast hates East Coast and vice versa. It's like two separate countries almost. We think you guys are all ass backwards l and I'm sure they feel the same... You mean tell me a Mexican living in Cali is going to be an East Coast favorite???

Mikey Garcia got a lot of love in NYC! Mexican community is on the "come up" in NYC:

May 5, 2016:

"When I first arrived to New York, it was very, very rare to find somebody from Mexico," said Mercado inside of the Upper East Side Mexican restaurant he manages. When asked what is it like today? "Today, you know in some neighborhoods it is almost like being in Mexico."

According to the 2010 census there were more than 319,000 Mexicans in New York City. The community has seen a population growth of 6.5 percent annually from 2000 to 2010.

By next decade, Mexicans and Mexican-Americans are expected to be the largest Latino group in New York City. This means larger than the dominant Puerto Rican and Dominican Republic communities.

Remarkable because there has not been much mention of the Mexican population in the general publicly. Cesar Zuniga, who was born in the U.S. to Mexican parents, the 43-year-old has a reason behind this, "Their undocumented status. Unfortunately, a lot of Mexicans who landed here in New York City in recent decades are not documented and I think that is a motivator to sort of keep people under the shadows."

However, and while the community works quietly behind the scenes, Zuniga -- who recently tried to become the first New York Assembly member with Mexican roots -- says that if every Mexican worker were to walk out of their job in New York City it would result in one thing, "Economic meltdown."

uhhhhh....Leo Santa Cruz is Mexican these fights took place in neutral ground and the standard for all mega fights - U.S.A.

Santa Cruz is right, he should not give him a rematch unless its in America.

Santa Cruz lives and fights in America

He lost the first fight in America and requested a rematch in his preferred location of Vegas. Frampton, who already beat him, didn't have to grant him anything. However, he granted him an immediate rematch in his chosen location with a verbal agreement that a third fight would be on Belfast.

Backing out is a b!tch move.

There was SIGNED rematch clause so Frampton HAD to do the rematch. Or he could threaten to retire like Ward. Also did you even watch the 1st fight??? Leo was BOO'D badly during the press conferences, weigh-in and the fight. Go watch the fight and turn up the sound. That crowd was 90% Frampton. Their are WAY more Irish ppl by FAR in that area then Mexicans. Sht they have an Irish pub practically on every street corner.

Also the 1st fight was VERY close and some ppl had Leo winning. The 2nd fight wasn't close and NO one had Frampton winning. Not even his trainer.

There was a signed rematch, that doesn't mean Frampton had to grant him said rematch in his chosen location. Frampton held all the chips, yet gave him the rematch in his chosen location.

Frampton won the first fight by a couple of rounds, the fight being pretty close is irrelevant. The winner granted the loser the rematch where he preferred. Now it's time for the other guy to honour his word and he's b!tching out.

An Irish population on the East Coast is nothing like actual Frampton fans in Belfast.

What a fall from grace

You make it seem like the only reason Frampton LOST was because the fight was in Vegas??? Where ALL the big fights happen and no one cries this bad???

Leo WON and DESERVED the victory. There was No GIFT or robbery in that fight.

I doubt that, but the Mexican population is thick! If it's catching up to the PR and DR numbers, that tells you all you need to know!

No, I didn't.

The right man won both times.

However, the loser of the first fight got to fight one state over from where he lives and trains, the other guy had to travel half way around the world, both times.

There's many advantages in being close to home, not just on fight night.
