Boxing has made Cinco De Mayo, however, a huge weekend of festivities in the U.S., as its known for usually holding the best, grandest fight of the year.

Mayweather’s fights with Pacquiao and De La Hoya took place on Cinco De Mayo weekend, as did Pacquiao’s clash with Ricky Hatton.

Mayweather also fought Alvarez back in 2013 on Cinco De Mayo.

And it was actually De La Hoya who really made the weekend popular, when he beat Yuri Boy Campos back in 2003.

Since then, the mantle has been passed from fighter to fighter, and now to Alvarez, who has fought on Cinco De Mayo every year over the past decade apart from 2018 and 2020, is the main torch-bearer.
