    Well maybe has has huge audience figures for his fights there then but I don`t think you can provide proof of that.

    Politics. Nicaraguans love talking/arguing about politics. Chocolatito actually saw him popularity drop due to endorsing Ortega, and being friendly with him but a few believe he has no other choice but to do so.
