Mayweather vs Canelo poster for September 14 pay-per-view

Scott Christ is the managing editor of Bad Left Hook and has been covering boxing for SB Nation since 2006.

Floyd Mayweather will face Canelo Alvarez in 2013's biggest fight. The promotional press tour has concluded, hitting 10 cities in rapid succession, and meeting big, passionate crowds at each stop.

If you've yet to see the fight poster, here it is:

Mayweather (44-0, 26 KO) and Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO) could be in position to set new records both at the gate and on pay-per-view, though it would seem the least likely record to be broken would be actual PPV buys. They might top the all-time PPV revenue mark, as the fight is priced at $65 standard definition and $75 in HD, so even if they don't get the 2.4 million buy mark (the fight may have an outside shot, but it's unlikely), they could top the revenue mark, which is around $134 million domestically.
