Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Canelo Álvarez, billed as The One, was a boxing light middleweight championship superfight.[1] The bout was held on September 14, 2013, in the MGM Grand Garden Arena, at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, on Showtime PPV.

Background

The bout took place at a 152-pound catchweight, two pounds below the light middleweight limit of 154 pounds.[2][3] Mayweather received $41.5 million for this fight before taking into account pay-per-view sales.[4]

The fight

Judge Dave Moretti had it 116–112, and Craig Metcalfe scored it 117–111.
