Mayweather Vs Alvarez - Finally, a real fight for Mayweather.

The Floyd Mayweather Jr. versus Saul "Canelo" Alvarez fight is now a done deal!

After reading that Mayweather will be fighting Alvarez on September 14 here, I couldn't agree more that for the first time, Mayweather picked an opponent that the fans wanted him to fight and one that is very much capable of dealing him his first loss as a professional boxer.

Actually, if you've seen sportsnation's survey, Pacquiao-vs-Mayweather is still wanted. Mayweather-vs-Alvarez though comes in second. With Pacquiao's drawing power fading due to his devastating loss to Juan Manual Marquez, it is easy to understand Mayweather's choice. It is really about what fight will give him the most profit.

Alvarez has nothing to lose and everything to gain in this fight. Even if he loses, he is still young. Perhaps if Alvarez loses and Pacman comes away victorious in the Pacquiao-vs-Rios fight, maybe Alvarez-Pacquiao could be a possibility.

For Mayweather, a convincing win will further cement his legacy.

Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight Still Wanted

As much as I have given up on a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, there are still people who wish to see that fight happen.

If you take ESPN's sportsnation survey as to who should Mayweather face in his next fight, it is clear that a lot of people want Pacman to challenge Money.

Obviously, Mayweather camp would pick the one who could help them make more money and can be expected to favoring a Mayweather-Canelo fight.

I hope that Pacquiao too have seen and understood that many people still like to see him and mayweather fight. I hope that would mean more motivation for him to come out spectacularly on top of the coming Pacquiao - Rios bout.

Mayweather Tweets Out Pacquiao For May 5 Fight

A challenge to fight in this digital age can not be more straight-to-the-point than that of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s recent tweet. Mayweather calls out Manny Pacquiao to fight him on May 5th.

Personally, I am growing tired of the camps of these two great boxers pointing at one another why the fight hasn't happened. And as a Filipino, I am inclined to believe that Mayweather is more to blame for dodging Pacquiao.

But I suppose this tweet signifies that Mayweather is finally serious in showing to the world that he is better than Pacquiao inside the ring. We all know that Manny is way ahead of him outside it.

Old movies portray challenges verbally made by protagonists and villain with an agreed date regardless whether its mano-mano, drawing guns or swordfight.

Perhaps Manny Pacquiao and his camp can announce their response via Facebook status?
