Canelo Alvarez: 'I've been part of big events, but this is different'

Canelo Alvarez speaks briefly with BoxNation about Saturday's fight against Floyd Mayweather.

While Showtime pay-per-view is the fight home in the United States for Mayweather-Canelo, in the United Kingdom, subscriber all-boxing network BoxNation is the place to see the bout. The network was on hand Wednesday at the final press conference to speak briefly with the fighters.

"First of all, I wanna say thank you, I'm very gracious for all the support I've received out there. Tell them I'm going to win on Saturday."

BoxNation

"Have you had a build-up as mad as this, with the press tour and the excitement that's going on in Las Vegas this week?"

Canelo Alvarez

"I've had big events before. I've been part of big events before. But this is different. It's bigger. I'm just enjoying every moment. Savoring it."

"Has Floyd Mayweather underestimated you?"

"Yes, I think so. On Saturday, he'll see what's gonna happen."
