Best Answer

Soccer is the most popular sport in Mexico, followed by Baseball. Bullfighting is still somewhat popular in some regions and cities, such as Guanajuato, Puebla or Queretaro. However, this "sport" has been continuously criticized due to obvious animal cruelty, and the interest of the public has diminished accordingly.
