Comments Thread For: Caleb Plant Not Keen On Short-Notice Fight Versus Canelo

[KO MX]

So everyone is clear, cinco de Mayo is a celebration of the Mexican state of Puebla, not a grand national holiday like Mexican Independence Day. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more in the USA by Mexican Americans more than it is in Mexico. Most Mexican Americans are unaware of the significance of that holiday and the history behind the battle.
Quite literally it would be like equating the battle of the Alamo or san jacinto with being a full American holiday rather than a Texas one.
There is no arguing this....it is what it is. And even in the USA it has become “cinco de drinko”.....simply a reason to have a party and enjoy copious amounts of Tecate, tequila, and tex mex food

Ignorance at its best smh

[icha]

if I post proof that 5 de mayo is bigger in the US than it is in Mexico, will you leave the forum??

cant tell you how big is in the US, but in Mexico is a National Holliday... kids dont go to school and federal and many other employees have the day off, there is a special ceremony on every school for that and we get long weekends... people with resources go to other cities including the US... you will see a lot of mexicans (from mexico lmao) at vegas, LA, San Antonio, etc...

it's not a national holiday in Mexico liar. It's a civic holiday, meaning it's only acknowledged in a specific area of Mexico or town...in this case puebla.

Mexicans are very proud of their salsas and they didn't want the americans to introduce mayo in their diet, so when american ships were carrying tons of mayo to Mexico, the mexican navy attacked them yelling: "Sink all the mayo" and it stuck

If I was Team Plant I would take the fight on short notice. Caleb Plant could make career changing money if he does.

In addition, he has many more options and privileges than the black fighters on the PBC roster because he's white. Therefore, he's free to come and go as he please.

Al Haymon won't stand in his way.
