How popular is Canelo in England & Ireland?

If his last name was Smith he'd be huge in UK.

Only boxing fans. They're the only ones that stay up until past 4am to watch foreign fighters boxing.

This ^. The fight has got more than usual press (there was even a full page article in the free paper you get on the bus) but anyone who stays up all night watching boxing like us poor saps who post on here already know who both fighters are and nobody else gives much of a damn.

British people aren't ****** enough to follow a fighter just because he's a ginge and pale skinned.

My Albuquerque newspaper didn't have a single word about this fight and they had two full pages on the Mayweather vs Conor fight the Saturday it happened. As others have said only real boxing fans know who Canelo is.

Only people on boxing scene call Canelo a ginger or ginge. I never heard that term used before. Most people would call Canelo a red head not a ginger. Everybody call call him what they choose but ginger has always come off as insulting.
