Is this the reason they played the Mexican National Anthem with the performer screaming "Viva La Mexico" after it was finished? I can find no other reason for this when neither the fight nor the fighters had any association to Mexico. Not that a sponsorship calls for a foreign country's national anthem to be played in the United States.

Floyd loves Mexicans so wouldn't be surprised if he requested it, also cuz Mexicans and Mexican/American fans are what's keeping boxing going in the states.

Oh and also cuz it was cinco de mayo weekend.
