When Floyd Mayweather fought Canelo Alvarez In 2013, the Mexican boxer hadn't yet become the face of boxing, but with an unbeaten 42-0 record, the world knew Alvarez was the next big thing, so a wise Mayweather decided to face Canelo when he was 23 and lacking the maturity he would later achieve in boxing. Of course, Mayweather knew a win over Canelo would be an impressive addition to his resume, as Canelo was destined for greatness after Floyd's exit.

At the same time, the Canelo Alvarez vs. Floyd Mayweather fight garnered 2.2 million pay-per-view sales and $150 million in revenue, making it one of the most financially successful events in boxing.
