FLOYD MAYWEATHER vs.
SAUL ALVAREZ

When the media circus that will inevitably surround the superfight between Floyd “Money” Mayweather (44-0, 26 KOs) and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KOs) engulfs the sports world, it is imperative that Mayweather plays up his role as the villain.
Money has never had an issue with portraying the bad guy in a matchup, and just as the boxing world rallied around Oscar De La Hoya in 2007, fans will look to Alvarez to become the star who finally dethrones the undefeated Mayweather.
Mayweather has to turn himself into the ultimate villain and turn Canelo into a bigger star than he already is. Alvarez is being portrayed as a hero by many fans already, but Money running the challenger down in public would give casual fans the underdog they want to see steal the victory.
