It's not about superiority. It's about reaching a wider audience which means making more money. You have an MBA supposedly. Surely you grasp the business angle. It's the same reason more or less you speak English rather than exclusively Hausa or Igbo. Now, Canelo has made a ton of money and maybe he doesn't care but he is walking away earnings by not being able to speak English.
Not to mention this issue is well known in high level sports. There are teams not allowed to eat mexican beef for this reason. But Im supposed to believe that one of mexicos biggest stars didnt know this, or was this careless, coincidentally around the time he started looking jacked.
The Reynosos are former butchers. And I LOVE how @shadow111 narrowed it down precisely to the moment Clenelo bit into a burger during a lunch with Bill Clinton.
Yes I do have an MBA and one of the things I learned was that innovation can be the source of added value, going past the limits of the prevailing dominant logic. Floyd Mayweather did this buying himself out of his promotional contract with Top Rank to determine his destiny to be promoted how he wanted and needed to be. Bob Arum and Top Rank could not do this as they did not not understand the markets Floyd appealed to. The end result is Floyd made career earning of over $1Billion without endorsements more than any other athlete in history including Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. Now he is retired Floyd's brand is such that he gets multimillions for exhibitions with non boxers. The key thing for Canelo like Floyd is his authenticity. Be who you are, not what image makers want you to be. Don't be fake like Oscar de La Hoya.
Floyd hasn't made a billion. Nowhere close. He's got a habit of showing off jewelry and clothing (which many brands loan out – see any Academy Awards show), but never his bank accounts for good reason. He's been hurting for money for years now, which is why he did some weird windows commercial in the UK and doing these joke fights.
Sure. I give Floyd credit in the business side of things. Still, English is not about superiority or selling out. It's a business opportunity.
If he keeps eating those intensified mexican meat products then the sky is the limit and it wouldnt surprise to see him in the future actually taking the head off an opponent with a punch. At this rate not even Tyson Fury is safe from the ginger.
Floyd's career earning are over a $ 1 Billion.
