Los Angeles (September 10) - Canelo Alvarez and I have big fights coming up this weekend. His is the ring and mine in treatment. I will not be at the fight to cheer Canelo to victory since I have voluntarily admitted myself into a treatment facility. I explained this to Canelo and he understood that my health and longterm recovery from my disease must come first. Thank you for your understanding. I ask for your support and privacy during this difficult time for me and my family.

Aside from winning the fights, you can always count on two things whenever Floyd Mayweather steps into the ring: he will always have the full backing of Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, while Oscar de la Hoya will always pick him to lose, no matter the opponent. Such has been the case for every one of Mayweather’s fights dating back to when Golden Boy became the lead promoter for his events, dating back to his explosive 10th round knockout win over Ricky Hatton in Dec. ’07. Since then, de la Hoya has been publicly let down by the likes of Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz, Miguel Cotto and most recently Robert Guerrero.

A Floyd Mayweather fight wouldn’t be complete without a series documenting his and his opponents lives leading up to the big dance. Mayweather has a new dance partner this time around as 23 year Saul “Canelo” Alvarez brings new blood to the series and so far has done a suitable job. Episode two of All Access Mayweather-Alvarez touched on a variety of subjects and some of the underlying storylines that are linked to this fight. It made for a good episode and the series is 2 for 2 so far. Things start off with Mayweather reminiscing on his first professional fight and his $25,000 purse that came along with it. Things have certainly changed as the “half billion dollar man” is now used to collecting checks in excess of $30 million a fight. His money spending ways however have always garnered him criticism but Mayweather feels it’s his prerogative and is doing what he’s supposed to do.

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya is warning experts that Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) looked very impressive on May 4th because Robert Guerrero had the wrong game plan and fought flat-footed for twelve rounds, and that allowed Mayweather to stay on his toes and move in and out. De La Hoya expects Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) to provide a much tougher challenge on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

NEW YORK — It’s almost as if Oscar De La Hoya is getting a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. That’s how much a Saul “Canelo” Alvarez upset Sept. 14 in Las Vegas would mean to De La Hoya both personally and professionally. Throughout the buildup toward the biggest fight of Alvarez’s career, De La Hoya has made sure to relay as much invaluable advice to the young Mexican star as possible. The 40-year-old De La Hoya regularly advises Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KOs) to avoid making the same mistakes that cost “The Golden Boy” when he dropped a split decision to Mayweather (44-0, 26 KOs) in May 2007.
