Well it's not a coincidence that Floyd's last PPV was "terrible" and now he's in with a serious Mexican star on Mexican Independence Day weekend. This will be big.

Wonder how much say the network had in Floyd taking the fight? You'd have to think that Showtime couldn't go on making a loss (if they actually were) due to Floyd taking lower profile fights like Guerrero. Imagine the PPV for Floyd vs Alexander next, or Bradley. Ha....

Weight-wise, I don't see what the big deal is with Canelo weighing in at 152. Unless there is a viable source that directly confirms that he is tight at the weight, I'd say he seems quite fine.

For example, appearance wise, him and Mosley were the same size (Mosley and Mayweather were also the same size!) and Trout was far from dwarfed by Canelo, in fact I'd say Trout was bigger.
