Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez on SKY Cable HD

September 13, 2013 by Janey

Too many Alvarez boxers that this fight is named Mayweather vs. Canelo instead of the latter’s last name. Supposedly the highest purse fight in boxing history with $41.5 cool million as his minimum guarantee to just step inside the ring.

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, 23, will be facing 36-year-old Floyd Mayweather Jr. this coming Sunday (Manila time) –both fighters with undefeated record. Mayweather maintains that he is still at the peak of his game and continues to be his usual confident arrogant self.

Canelo is apparently the Spanish translation to the boxer’s ginger hair. No mistake that he is also a world champ even if Mayweather dismisses the fact saying there are just too many belts in the field now and these young bloods easily get one compared to the time veterans really have to earn it the long hard way.

Catch the Mayweather vs. Canelo fight this weekend. SKY Cable is giving this PPV fight FREE and in HIGH DEFINITION via SKYcable FREE VIEW HD to all subscribers with the HD box. The event will air this Sunday, Sept 15. Live telecast begins at 9AM.

For those SKY Cable subscribers who do not have the HD Digibox, other than me suggesting you get one to change your life and up your viewing experience, you can still catch this real-time, as it happens, via LIVESTREAMING on iWantv also at 9AM.

Will another one bite the dust?

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao steps again in the ring on November 14^th, Manila Time, to face another opponent in the face of Antonio Margarito. They will plow it out for a vacant WBC (World Boxing Council) Jr. Middleweight Title that, to some critics, is a fictitious weight class.

Filipinos would like to believe that this would be another easy win for Pacquiao since he is the best pound for pound fighter in the world and Antonio Margarito is coming off a 1-year suspension for getting caught trying to use illegal hand wraps. If Pacquiao does win, it will be a new title in his eight weight class.

But don’t write off Margarito just yet. Margarito’s camp says that his height, reach and size will be the difference. He better know how to use them though because with Pacquiao’s speed, he doesn’t have enough time to strategize deliberately in the ring. He won’t be able to see what hit him.

And this will be another walk in the park for the boxing champ, Manny Pacquiao. I really hope that Margarito puts up a great fight against Pacquiao to give the boxing fans their money’s worth. Otherwise, it’s just a win-win scenario for both fighters with huge purses in their pockets while the biggest loser is… the fans. Pac, pac, pac!
