So there's a theory that in the long run Mexican underdogs are profitable. Just because underdog Ryan Garcia won I'm not buying this theory at all. So I'm going to track this for slightly over one year (don't know what major bout will be on May 3, 2005, but it should be one involving a Mexican). And what better way to track this theory right before Cinco de Mayo. Obviously, not doing Mexican v. Mexican. For instance, Canelo Alvarez v. Jaime Munguia (+375) won't count. Nor boxing exhibition which I highly doubt we'll see any Mexican boxers do a stupid exhibition as that ain't fighting. I'll only be using Betonline for odds. And if the fight doesn't have odds @ Betonline, then I'm not including it. And no wanna be Mexican like Carlos Mencia, if he was a boxer... lol.

This is going to be brutal.

Did you watch the game, Heads?

I'm looking at the result and looks like Garcia is good. It also says this is Haney's first loss of his pro career.

We will wait for your theory's update as you keep track of them in the future. :cheers:
Yeah, I saw it and it was a great fight. Totally was shocked he won but the way so many are taking it is that he’s the best. He got worked by Devonta and lost.

I think this theory is ridiculous as off the top my head I remembered Mexican underdogs losing way too frequent to make it profitable. Manny Pacquiao wasn’t called “Mexican killer” for no apparent reasons. Though I thought he lost one of those fights, he beat them. Mayweather beat a few of them, too. Don’t get me wrong, Mexican fighters are great, but when I see them as underdogs, there’s a reason why.

I agree, though sometimes I also feel they are overrated.

Believe Pacquiao is half Spanish and Filipinos have a good amount of Mexican throughout their bloodlines.

Is it okay to bet on yourself in boxing? I am seeing this article now about Garcia betting on himself to beat Haney.

Oh yeah, you can bet on yourself to win. Mayweather did this several times, and of course always won. The only red flag would be if you bet on yourself to lose... lol.
Oh si! I forgot Mayweather did it. I think he bet himself to win against Pacquiao. Imagine if all sports allow this.

So Garcia won his bet worth $12M + his payday from that fight! What a winner haha
