[Lester Tutor]

Lol what?

They may not be in Manhattan but there's tons of Mexicans in queens and other boroughs

Really? the tristate area looks nothing like LA or Chicago. Trump supporters think all hispanics look alike anyways... let's be clear

Aye Oscar, **** New York! Bring that press tour to Southern California twice!
Once in L.A and the other in either Orange County or San Diego!
This is where the Mexicans represent the most!
Puro Sur Califas!

there are no Mexicans in NY - Manhattan.

HBO should focus on these cities. Wasn'T Chavez Jr. vs Fonfara in Chicago?

That chart is correct but you are not because it says Mexicans as in born in Mexico, there are a lot more that are born in the US and not in those numbers.

True, Southern Cali is where Mexicans are represented the most but Oscar , being from Souther Cali wants to expand the marketing of the fight to other places with a smaller population of Mexican descend and have other Latinos and non Latinos interested in this fight.

you are confused. The context is buildup for this fight and which cities should be targeted. As you said yourself, the chart is from foreign born, minus the stateside born Mexicans. They should've hit Chicago.

from 2010. ''Mexican American'' stateside populus

California 11,423,146
Texas 7,951,193
Arizona 1,657,668
Illinois 1,602,403
Colorado 757,181
Florida 629,718
Washington 601,768
New Mexico 590,890
Nevada 540,978
Georgia (U.S. state) Georgia 519,502
North Carolina 486,960
New York 457,288

out of curiosity, of the 4 fights you mentioned, 3 of them are considered fairly even fights. Why would the fight with 8-1 odds in favor of Canelo vs a guy who hasn't done anything relevant in 5 yrs be your #1 selection for fight that you're most excited about?

I'm excited about Canelo vs Chavez because of what it means for Mexico. Now this is the scenario that I broke down in my head as to why this is happening and why I think it's exciting. Oscar wants Canelo to fight Chavez purely based on his name and what his father's legacy means to Mexico. He's trying to build Canelo as Mexico's true hero so what better way than to fight the legend's son and take that title when you can't fight the legend himself. Also I see various comments online that lead me to think that some in Mexico don't see Canelo as a pure Mexican. Now Chavez hasn't done anything significant in years but he was (when he wanted to be) a viable threat. He stopped Andy Lee in his prime and was a world champion a one point. He has the weight advantage and he knows what's at stake in this fight. It's all about pride. We all know how good Canelo is and I don't think that he would pass this opportunity up to shine. I just think this fight has great potential. I'm kind of skeptical of Chavez using Herrera to make weight especially with his history of skipping drug tests but I guess he pulling out all the stops to make sure he wins.

Yeah, nobody in NY cares to see this press conference. They should take it to an area where due to demographics people will buy into it regardless of the fact that on paper it's a joke of a fight.

Nothing is LA when it comes to Mexican, but NY has a lot of Mexicans
