Hispanic community as well. Some establishments had billboards that said "No Mexicans" or "No Service to Mexicans", for example, during the period (on the Eastern seaboard states at the same time, many establishments refused to serve Puerto Ricans, with signs that read "no service to Porto Ricans" among other things). This may have led to many immigrants, who were already facing trouble with their migratory status in the first place, to not encourage their children to learn proper Spanish. Immigration was (and has always been) another issue among Hispanics. Those who learned some English and had no legal status in the United States would use English to, among other reasons, avoid being deported. Because Latin Americans are usually proud of their Hispanic background, many residents of Mexico and every other country in Latin America found it hard to understand why ethnic Hispanics in the United States spoke English mainly. This sometimes led to resentment between their own race. Mexican-Americans began to be known as "Chicanos" mainly, but also as "Tejanos". Sports have always been a way for many Hispanics who settle in the United States to gain economic rewards. Baseball and boxing in particular have produced famous Hispanic athletes. In Latin America things were not too different, with baseball, boxing, soccer and, much later on, basketball, becoming sports in which Hispanics have exceeded. In California, boxing was a favorite sport among Hispanics. Art Aragon was a very famous Chicano boxer, from whom Oscar De La Hoya would later inherit the nickname "The Golden Boy". Manuel Ortiz, a world Bantamweight champion of the 1940s, held the world record for most defenses in that division for more than fifty years. Meanwhile, in Mexico, boxers like "Kid Azteca", (one of Mexico's first national boxing idols), and, later on, Chucho Castillo and Rubén Olivares, flourished. The Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, under the auspices of Aileen Eaton, became a mecca of sorts for Mexican-American and Mexican fighters alike. Many of the earliest fights between Mexicans and Mexican-Americans, already split by the issues that concerned each side, took place there. By the time that Bobby Chacon and Rafael Limón entered boxing during the 1970s, the boxing rivalry between Mexicans and Mexican-Americans/Chicanos was already a rabid one. First fight Bobby Chacon claimed the WBC world Featherweight title on September 7, 1974 in Los Angeles by knocking out Alfredo Marcano in ten rounds. He lost that title
