Money team!
 
I think Floyd should take this pretty easily, but I doubt there's anyway he finishes him.
I just don't think Mayweather would take the fight unless he saw something that he could exploit and get the W.
 
4 days before the biggest fight in Boxing since him & Floyd... Timing seems way off considering how visible he's been for this.

Publicity stunt or nah?
 
Money team all day.

I think may haters are realizing dude is on another level cause they've been quiet for this fight
 
May by decision. Canelo can't hang a whole fight with him, gonna have to get that KO if he wants to win.
 
100$ on Alvarez

100$ on Garcia 

Parlay them both as well for 100.... just ship me the biscuits now

taking the chance on both underdogs
 
^ garcia is going to win canelo wont. floyd will win by decision as usual and if it does get close it will be split decision for floyd... no knockout :lol:
 
Can't see Canelo beating Floyd unless Floyd's hands betray him.

In other news, it looks like De La Hoya is going to miss his protege's biggest fight. He checked back into rehab again. Addiction is a mother. Hope he get's the help he needs.

Oscar De La Hoya to rehab

AS VEGAS -- Oscar De La Hoya, the president of powerhouse boxing promotional company Golden Boy Promotions and a former 10-time world title winner, has returned to rehab to address his substance abuse problem.

De La Hoya announced in a statement on Tuesday that he would miss the mega fight that Golden Boy is promoting between undefeated junior middleweight titleholders Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez -- the biggest fight of the year -- on Saturday night at the MGM Grand because of his issues.

"Canelo Alvarez and I have big fights coming up this weekend," De La Hoya, who has been something of a mentor to the 23-year-old Alvarez, said in the statement. "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 long-term 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."

Although De La Hoya, 40, did not specify what substance he was using, he is an admitted alcoholic and has said he has abused cocaine in the past.

In May 2011, De La Hoya missed another major fight Golden Boy was involved in, Bernard Hopkins' historic victory against Jean Pascal in their rematch in Montreal to become the oldest fighter in boxing history to win a world title. De La Hoya had checked himself into a rehab facility in the weeks before the fight, although the news of his problem came out on the day of the fight.

De La Hoya, who won a 1992 Olympic gold medal, retired shortly after Manny Pacquiao stopped in him the eighth round in 2008.
 
Body ready. Didn't know there was that many fights before Floyd's ....it'll be my first time ordering a fight...usually I hit the bar before the main event :lol:
 
I'll be rooting for Canelo but i think Floyd is going to win by UD.  Hopefully Canelo can at least make it interesting so i don't feel like i just wasted $75 after the fight.

 I've never been a fan of DLH's but that's sad to hear.
