What Top Rank fails to realize is that Mexicans simply do not sell and their fan base is disgustingly overrated, so making Tyson Fury wear Mexican colors and wave around the Mexican flag is futile. Let's take a look at all the Mexican champions who headlined a main event this year and see how big of a crowd they brought in. Note: This does not factor in the tickets they gave away.
Navarrete vs. De Vaca, August 17, 2019

Vargas vs. Kameda, July 13, 2019

So as you can see, Mexican champions can't even get other Mexicans to come out and watch them, what makes you think Mexicans are going to come out and buy tickets to watch a Gypsy in a sombrero? Epic fail by Top Rank
