Se confirma el Mayweather vs “Canelo” Álvarez




may 30,2013

Se confirma que el el próximo 14 de septiembre en el MGM Grand de Las Vegas se enfrentará el actual campeón welter del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CMB) el estadounidense Floyd Mayweather contra el actual campéon superwelter del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CM) el mexicano Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez.

El propio Maywether confirmó en su cuenta Twitter la pelea “Ya elegí mi oponente para el 14 de septiembre será “Canelo” Álvarez. Le voy a dar a los fans lo que quieren. Será en el MGM Grand”.

Finalmente las presiones de Top Rank sobre Floyd Mayweather debido a que no consiguió las ventas de PPV esperadas en su último combate con Robert Guerrero han propiciado que Mayweather acepte pelear con la estrella emergente mexicana para garantizar un alto numero de ventas PPV.

Floyd firmó un contrato multimillonario y con Guerrero consiguió alrededor de un millón de ventas PPV, para ser rentable ese contrato debería haber vendido al menos 1,2 millones, en su anterior combate en HBO contra el puertorriqueño Miguel Cotto vendió 1,5 millones de PPV por lo que es descalabro en ventas fue considerable.

Chepo Reynoso manager de Canelo en declaraciones a la prensa mexicana afirmó: “Es el resultado del trabajo, el resultado de la disciplina, el resultado de metas que se han ido forjando en la carrera del Saúl. Yo creo que el 14 de septiembre es el principio ya, de una nueva estrella que seguramente será el ‘Canelo’”.

“Si no supiéramos que hubiera forma de ganarle definitivamente no nos hubiéramos aventado el tiro, como dicen en mi tierra, si no estuviéramos confiados en ganar, tenlo por seguro que no hubiéramos aceptado la pelea. Ahora es el momento justo para demostrar que Saúl debe de ser, a partir del 14 de septiembre, el mejor libra por libra del mundo"

Esa parte es puro haterismo ya que Mayweather ni siquiera está con Top Rank, es un asociado con Golden Boy Promotions.Además, el Mayweather-Guerrero a tenido una muy buena recaudación para el mismatch que era.

La nota negativa, es que se habla de que Mayweather quiere hacer la pelea en catchweight de 152 lbs. , primera vez que hace una mierda de estas de los catchweights, no se lo concedió a Márquez cuando en ese momento estaba justificado por la diferencia de categorías (y luego impresentablemente encima sube a la báscula con más peso de reglamentario), y ahora le va a hacer bajar a Álvarez, cuando hasta dar las 154 regalmentarias ya le está costando (también a Floyd a lo alto, pero es que el peso de la división y de los títulos en juego es el que es).

Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) vs. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) will take place at catch-weight of 152-pounds, on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Four titles will be at stake, with the Canelo staking the WBC, WBA and Ring junior middleweight titles, and Mayweather putting up the WBA "super" title that he won from Miguel Cotto last May.

"Both fighers feel comfortable with that [weight], so it will obviously be for Canelo's WBC and Ring Magazine belts, and his WBA belt, and Floyd's WBA super champion belt at 154. It is going to be for all the belts, all the marbles, and it's going to be for [the] pound-for-pound [status]...who will be the one?," Schaefer told BoxingScene.com.

Mayweather-Canelo: Schaefer, Ellerbe Discuss The Fight
As BoxingScene.com previously reported, a deal has been finalized for a junior middleweight mega-showdown between Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0-, 26KOs) and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) for September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The two fighters will battle at a catch-weight of 152-pounds for the WBC/WBA Super/Ring/WBA titles on Showtime Pay-Per-View.

"Canelo came in and signed the deal. We negotiated back and forth. We have been working on this literally day and night and finally got it done today, literary an hour ago and both signed off, “said Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Richard Schaefer, to BoxingScene.com. “I think a lot of experts will chime in on this one, with half of the money going on Mayweather and half of the money going on Canelo.“

A lot of insiders, and people in the industry, were doubting that Mayweather-Canelo was going to happen on September 14th. Some were even doubting that Mayweather was actually going to fight on the date. [Click Here To Read More]

Many fans have centered their attention on the contracted weight for the junior middleweight clash between Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs) and WBC/WBA/Ring champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-0-1, 30KOs), taking place on September 14th and live on Showtime Pay-Per-View from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The two boxers will battle at 152-pounds, two pounds below the junior middleweight limit of 154.

Before the deal got finalized, there were several stories regarding the weight. Mayweather allegedly demanded a weight closer to the welterweight limit of 147, and Canelo wanted their match at 154. There was some concern from Mayweather camp members, as Canelo rehydrates to 170-pounds or more on fight night. In the end the Mexican superstar says both boxers budged from their positions to reach an agreed-upon weight.


"Things are happening as I expected. This is the fight that I wanted, and now I have it. This is for all Mexicans and my fans around the world. The fight is happening at 152 and that's fine. I'll have to work a little harder, but I feel that I can make the weight and I'll still be strong. [To make the fight] I had to give a little [on the weight], and he had to give a little too. It was fair and I feel that both parties are happy. He fought at 154 pounds before, but he wanted [152 for this fight] and I accepted. He gave a little, and I gave in a little, and now we're going to fight," Canelo said.

Canelo:

"It's what I want, the Mayweather fight. That's what we put on the table. I feel more mature and for that I am willing to go down to 150 pounds," said Canelo to Sal Rodriguez. "De la Hoya said he was going to pursue the Mayweather fight [for me]. We are ready for it. It's what people want, for me to fight someone like [Mayweather]."

Mayweather haciendo al canelo bajar de peso...what a bitch

Por lo menos a aceptado la pelea, cosa que no se esperaba, y menos para este septiembre.Dos libras las baja el Canelo, aunque va a tener que desidratarse un poco.Mayweather hubiera quedado como dios aceptando la pelea en el peso oficial pero esta mierda lo desluce.

"I'm not Pacquiao, I want my opponent to be confortable in his weight" Ya ya...

El Juan Manuel Márquez vs Timothy Bradley pasa al 12 de octubre

Tras confirmarse que el próximo 14 de septiembre se dará un combate de la entidad de un Floyd Mayweather vs Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez la promotora Top Rank ha decidido que el combate previsto para esa fecha entre el mexicano Juan Manuel Márquez y el estadounidense Timothy Bradley cambie al 12 de octubre en Las Vegas.

A Bob Arum presidente de Top Rank no le duelen reparos al admitir que no tiene nada que hacer programando el mismo día en PPV el Márquez vs Bradley con el Mayweather vs Canelo.

Recordamos que el año pasado ocurrió al revés, la velada organizada por Arum con el Maravilla vs Chávez era la esperada por todo el mundo antes que el Canelo vs Josesito pero en esa ocasión el ego de Óscar De la Hoya y de su promotora Golden Boy Promotions fue mayor que la lógica y no quiso cambiar de fecha el Canelo vs Josesito dándolo en abierto privando a los aficionados de poder ver ambos combates en directo.

Chepo Reynoso, the manager and trainer for WBC/WBA junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs), gives a lot of credit to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer for working day and night to finalize a deal that matches Canelo against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

In a recent article on BoxingScene.com, Canelo stated that both sides budged a little on the weight.

The two sides agreed on a catch-weight of 152-pounds, but Reynoso says it wasn't easy.

Initially, Chepo claims Mayweather wanted a catch-weight of 150-pounds, and Canelo wanted the full junior middleweight limit of 154. Mayweather and Canelo finally agreed to meet in the middle, with both giving up two pounds in weight.

"we are happy with the negotiations, after all, this is what we were looking for. We are ready to face him and remove him from the throne," said Reynoso.

"We had to give up some weight, but we are confident that everything will be fine. Those two pounds that we're sacrificing was a condition to get the Mayweather fight. He wanted 150 pounds and we requested 152, and I think in the end we did well."

"If we did not give up those two pounds, he wouldn't fight. Besides, Mayweather wanted to fight at 147, then 150. Fortunately, Richard Schaefer is a great negotiator. Everyone did their part to get this achieved."

Floyd Quote:"I look at Miguel Cotto as an undefeated fighter because he faced Pacquiao, but Pacquiao fought him at a catch weight. He wasn't the best Miguel Cotto. He was drained. He wasn't hydrated"




Que en tal combate fueron dos libras por debajo de su peso, justo las dos libras que Mayweather va a hacerle bajar al Canelo.No creo que dos libras hagan tanta diferencia(ni tan poca, que eso es en magra) pero vamos, que quedas como el culo.
