I wouldn't mind seeing Cain Velasquez leave as the "new" UFC Heavyweight Champion, in fact I'd enjoy it. And I'd celebrate his victory by gettin' drunk outta my mind. Well shit, I plan on doin' that anyhow. Them PPVs don't end til midnight, so technically, it'll be October 24 (my bday) when its all said and done.
Truth be told, anyone other than Crock Lesnar with the HW title would be cool in my book.

That makes it even more impressive imo. How many mega boxing fights are there a year? 1? 2? It's easy to sell the shit out of a fight when the events are rare. UFC usually has around 14 ppvs a year and to keep people coming back every ppv paying $45, WHILE adding a whole new demographic to your audience is pretty impressive.
there are a lot of big boxing fights each year when it comes to the mexican community though.
For the general public or whatever, yeah boxing only has a couple big fights a year. But Mexcian's go crazy over the many great Mexican boxers.
Not trying to downplay Cain though, I think it's great for him. I fucking hate brock and hope he smashes him.

just because they have that many ppv's doesn't make it impressive that people showed up for a mexican fighter? They don't have mega boxing event ppv #'s with almost all of their ppv events, even for their biggest cards.
They're definitely appealing to the Mexicans by putting the flag on there though, it's all cash. You also have to think about, what if he wins? He's gonna need a fanbase if they want to feature the next "baddest man on the planet" as a ppv headliner. It's business wise

they do that everywhere where though. I mean Sergio Mora (vs shane mosley) was heavily marketed as being "the pride of Mexico" and who was "fighting for 200 years of Mexican independence" and that fool was born in the US and is only half latino. I don't even think he has any Mexican in him lol. The Latin Fake. They also said MILLIONS of Mexicans were behind him when I seriously doubt any Mexican's in Mexico even heard of him!
Any promotional angle including Mexico and they'll use it. Doesn't matter what the sport. Like mark sanchez in the NFL etc
