Ahh the good ol days. The Mexican holiday/boxing dates have really taken a hit recently. Last yrs 5 de mayo fight was a borderline snooze fest, the Sept 2019 date was main evented by Munguia vs a nobody, Corona virus impacted this date but who knows if there would've even been a fight since Canelo never signed.

I noticed he mentioned the mexican American fan base. Clearly it’s more important in the USA than in Mexico save for Puebla

Cinco de Mayo is more an American holiday than a Mexican, celebrated by white people, with very few knowing they're celebrating a war where brown people killed a bunch of white people.

That's why I find it funny when whites on this site complaining about how Canelo didn't fight on this date was bad.
