    Miles... forget what Floyd has cajoled other opponents to agree to.
    Forget the Floyd-Manny melodrama.
    This is all that matters:


    Floyd: I'll only fight you at 152.
    Canelo: ok


    End of story.

    Well, money will make some people do stupid things. Sure, Canelo should have said no and he only has himself to blame, but the CW exists and thus it can be criticised and will be a factor. Floyd shouldn't need these extra advantages and considering the money he makes, he owes the people that do pay for his fights something worth watching. As things stand, Floyd Mayweather makes a mockery of his opponents and anybody paying for them.

    If Alvarez loses it's because the referee has a gambling problem and bet against Alvarez.

    Alvarez DID lose.
    But it was because he "chose not to knock out Mayweather".

    But it could have been any weight under any circumstance Floyd wanted, for example:

    Floyd: Lets both put on 50lbs and fight at heavyweight, and wear swastika tattoos on our foreheads.
    Canelo: Wtf? No way.
    Floyd: But $$$$$$$$$$$.
    Canelo: Hail Hitler!
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    alvarez agreed to fight at this fight at these terms. he didn't have to take this fight with mayweather. he could have chosen to fight by his standards. he could have chosen to only take fights at his proper weight. he could have chosen to work at and create his own legacy where he would eventually be able to dictate all the terms to his fights the way mayweather does. but as i read on another thread (and i can't remember who said it) canelo is being fast-tracked to stardom...and part of that fast tracking is choosing to fight the current #1 P4P. all time great fighters don't normally do this at the age of 23. they take time and develop. steadily increasing their skills and cachet and level of opponents until they're at the top. do you think if floyd had been given the chance at the age of 23 to fight the greatest active fighter of his era with that fighter dictating all the terms of the fight that he would have taken the fight? i know he wouldn't. it wouldn't matter how much money he was offered because floyd was building himself into a complete fighter and creating an empire, not trying to snatch someone else's fame and fortune and run away with it. alvarez took this fight because he wants the money and fame the easy way. so people should shut up and stop blaming floyd for canelo's greedy choice.
