Floyd Mayweather taunts Canelo Alvarez over Billy Joe Saunders victory on DAZN and claims he didn’t even watch fight
FLOYD MAYWEATHER has taunted Canelo Alvarez for fighting on DAZN by claiming not to have seen the pound-for-pound king's clash with Billy Joe Saunders.
The hard-hitting Mexican claimed the WBO super-middleweight title in Dallas last month with an eighth-round TKO victory over the Brit.

But Canelo's impressive stoppage of the Hatfield hitman went past Mayweather, who couldn't help but have a dig at his old foe.
When asked if he watched the fight, Mayweather said: "I didn't even see it.
"He fight on an app now, right? Real fighters fight on Showtime.";
The retired Mayweather - who is gearing up for an exhibition with YouTuber Logan Paul - locked horns with Canelo in September 2013.
Money put on an absolute clinic against the then 23-year-old on his way to earning a majority decision victory.

When asked about a potential rematch, he said: "You mean Canelo? Easy work."
Canelo hasn't tasted defeat since losing the Sin City showdown and is confident he'd get the better of Mayweather second time around.
He said: "I'm a more complete fighter now. It would be much more competitive.
"I have a lot more experience. I have improved a lot, so it would be different.
"It was experience that defeated me that night and that's why it was a boring fight, as well, because he didn't do too much to me, either.
