To Re-Live Mayweather?s Dominating Win Over Previously Undefeated Canelo Alvarez; Watch Round 7 Now: http://s.sho.com/23pPQXm NEW YORK (May 5, 2016) ? Universally acknowledged as the most talented fighter of this generation and one of the greatest boxers in history, now-retired Floyd Mayweather will be honored during the month of May when SHOWTIME Sports? continues its year-long salute commemorating 30 years of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING? with ?MAYWEATHER?. The fifth round of a 12-month tribute will be highlighted by four of the most memorable and meaningful fights in Mayweather?s magnificent 19-year career ? against Saul ?Canelo? Alvarez, Marcos ?Chino? Maidana, Manny Pacquiao and Andre Berto. The four fights will air on ?Throwback Thursdays? all month at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHO EXTREME and are available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND?, SHOWTIME ANYTIME? and via the network?s online streaming service. Each fight will be wrapped with brief context and commentary from SHOWTIME Sports host Brian Custer. Below is the schedule of SHOWTIME EXTREME premieres for the month of May Thursday, May 5: Mayweather vs. Canelo Thursday, May 12: Mayweather vs. Maidana I Thursday, May 19: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Thursday, May 26: Mayweather vs. Berto May Days (Mayweather-Canelo, Sept. 14, 2013) -- In a blockbuster megaevent billed as "The One," Mayweather won an impressive 12-round decision over previously undefeated Canelo Alvarez in the then-highest-grossing pay-per-view and most profitable boxing event of all time. For the night's work, Mayweather collected Canelo's WBC, WBA and Ring Magazine Super Welterweight Championships. (Mayweather-Maidana 1, May 3, 2014) -- Mayweather seized ?The Moment? against Marcos Maidana, but it wasn?t easy. For a stirring moment ? or two, in fact ? it appeared the aggressive-minded Argentine might do the unthinkable -- and deal Mayweather his first defeat. But the supremely skilled and savvy Mayweather rallied convincingly in the bout?s second half to take a 12-round majority decision. (Mayweather-Pacquiao, May 2, 2015) ? Five-Division world champion Mayweather won a clear 12-round unanimous decision over Eight-Division world champion Manny Pacquiao in a record-shattering ?Fight of the Century.? Regarded as one of the most anticipated sporting events of all time, Mayweather-Pacquiao demolished PPV records for buys, revenue, live gate and more. The fight nearly doubled the previous record of 2.48 million buys generated by the Mayweather-Oscar De La Hoya match in 2007 and nearly tripled the record $150 million in U.S. pay-per-view revenue generated by Mayweather-Canelo in 2013. Inside the ring, Floyd had his way throughout, winning by the scores of 118-110 and 116-112 twice, (Sept. 12, 2015, Mayweather-Berto) ? Mayweather went to 49-0, matching the record of the late heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, with a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over Berto. In command throughout, ?TBE? landed an impressive 56 percent (232/410) in punches thrown and 67 percent of his power punches (132/196) to triumph by the scores of 120-108, 118-110 and 117-111. If this was Mayweather?s last fight, as he?s said, then the maestro manufactured yet one last masterpiece. # # # Showtime Networks Inc.
