There are a lot of people outside the Stub Center right now, I would say close to 5,000 or so partying and wearing Gennady shirts. You can feel the ambience and energy, its crazy. One of the most active cinco de mayos I have been to here in Cali, and Im mexican.
    Troll busted.

    Thought you said you were Puerto Rican?

      People dislike boxing or maybe more correctly said aren't invested in boxing for much deeper reasons than Cinco de Mayo.

      -Too many "champions"
      -Rankings don't make sense
      -Mandatory's don't seem to go to the top 2 guys
      -Decisions seem sketchy at times
      -Fights fans wanna see don't happen as often as they should
      -Promoters spend time on maxing out their upside vs giving the fans what they want
      -Too many weight divisions

      And probably 20 other things I could mention that make people dislike boxing, be frustrated with boxing & just not wanna invest THAT much time in a sport they can't explain very well to others cuz so much makes zero mfing sense to rational & reasonable cats.

        I think GGG v Nelo II was Cino worthy. GGG replacement was a shocker

            Floyd was worth every cent, make the day a huge boxing celebration.

                  I was pretty hyped for Floyd-Cotto and May-Pac, none of those on the list were particularly great fights though, I just usually expect a big, meaningful type fight during that weekend. It just felt like another regular Saturday this year, I was more interested in the NBA than I was the boxing last night tbh

                    Yeah it’s such a shame Canelo got popped, cause it would’ve been a good weekend for boxing with Canelo-GGG 2 at the forefront.
