?THE ONE: MAYWEATHER VS. CANELO? MEDIA TOUR HITS WASHINGTON, D.C.

Saturday, Sept. 14, Live on SHOWTIME PPV? From The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas; Tickets Went on Sale Today

WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 25, 2013) ? A capacity crowd of well-over 1,000 people filled Washington, D.C.?s historic Howard Theatre on Tuesday for the second stop of the unprecedented 11-city, two-country media tour for ?THE ONE: MAYWEATHER VS. CANELO.?

Eight-Time, Five-Division World Champion Floyd ?Money? Mayweather and Super Welterweight World Champion Canelo Alvarez are in the midst of their nine-day tour to discuss their Saturday, September 14 mega-fight from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, live on SHOWTIME PPV?.

Mayweather showed his appreciation for his strong following in D.C., signing autographs for over two hours and posing for pictures with fans.

Tickets priced at $2,000, $1,500, $1,000, $600 and $350, not including applicable service charges and taxes, with a total ticket limit of 12 per person (a limit of 10 per person at the $2,000, $1,500, $1,000 and $600 price levels and a limit of two [2] per person at the $350 price level), are on sale now. To charge by phone with a major credit card, call Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000. Tickets also will be available for purchase at www.mgmgrand.com or www.ticketmaster.com.

The media tour continues tomorrow, Wednesday, June 26, with stops in Grand Rapids, Mich., and Chicago.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER:
?D.C. is a fight town. It?s been so kind to me in my career. The fans have supported me here since I turned pro and today?s turnout was nothing different.

?Canelo is a young, strong champ. It?s obvious he?s done something right to get to this level. He?s a guy I know I can?t overlook. When guys face Floyd Mayweather it?s a total different level. I?m pretty sure he?ll be in tip-top condition. I need to go out there and be at my best and stick to the game plan.

?To be the best you have to fight the best and Canelo is one of the best fighters out there at this particular time. That?s why this fight is called ?THE ONE.??

CANELO ALVAREZ:
?Everything is different?big name, clever fighter. It?s the best fighter, the best venue, the best network. Austin Trout was a good fighter, but this is different. You can see with everyone here with the fans and the media. It?s not just a fight, but a big event.

?This was the next step to get Mayweather. I?m the type of fighter that if you give me someone who is better than me, it?s motivating. It gets the real Canelo. Trout was OK. He was a good fighter, but he didn?t impose his will on me. He didn?t bring out the best Canelo. Mayweather is the guy.?






?THE ONE: MAYWEATHER VS. CANELO,? a 12-round fight for Canelo?s WBC, WBA and Ring Magazine Super Welterweight World Championships and Mayweather?s WBA Super Welterweight Super World Championship taking place Saturday, Sept. 14 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, Golden Boy Promotions and Canelo Promotions and sponsored by Corona, O?Reilly Auto Parts and Valvoline.
