Comments Thread For: Canelo Eyes 9/12, Won't Step Aside For Mayweather

By Miguel Rivera

Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is looking to return on September 12th, and he won't step aside if Floyd Mayweather Jr. intends to fight on the date as well. Canelo is contracted to HBO, while Mayweather still has one fight remaining on his contract with Showtime.

Canelo had planned to fight on May 2nd, but moved to May 9th after Mayweather reached an agreement to face Manny Pacquiao on the date. The fight broke pay-per-view records with a 4.4 million buyrate. Canelo drew a huge television rating on HBO with a third round knockout of James Kirkland.

Mayweather says that he wants to return in September as the final fight for his career. He left the door open for a possible future fight in 2016 when telling reporters "I'm only human, I change my mind."

I'm hoping for a big drama Mexican style show in September.

Honestly, Canelo/new guys should get the major dates. Mayweather/Pacquiao are almost retired, let the new guys like Canelo/GGG/Danny Garcia/Broner etc highlight the major dates & usher in the new era.

Damnit Canelo. Not this crap again!

I think he is the future of this sport but he already got pushed out now he wants to do it again. Wait for Cotto to fight in june and then challenge him in Oct. Geeez. I like the kid alot but this self-entitlement bugs me.

Good, more reason for Floyd to fight Khan.

The date should be reserved for Canelo - Cotto

[Doctor_Tenma]

This is gonna be fun again

Good, more reason for Floyd to fight Khan.

The date should be reserved for Canelo - Cotto

Cotto Canelo doesn't happen in Sept, too close to Cotto's next fight in June.

He said that about May 2! Looks like there will be a Pac rematch in September for Floyd

[HanzGruber]

That's why he said last time. Only way he gets that date is if he fights cotto. And even the. Itd be dumb to go head to head

this idiot just keeps sticking his foot in his mouth and don't understand that money talks and his BS walks. he can fight on september 12th. nobody is stopping him. but he has a $10 dollar fanbase compared to mayweather's high rollers vegas fanbase. so he better book in texas again.
