Need help ordering the Canelo Alvarez vs. Julio Cesar Chavez PPV? We’ve got your back.

Cinco de Mayo weekend might not have as big a significance in Mexico as some people think, but it sure as heck has become a big deal in boxing over the past decade or so. This year, it’s as important a fight as Mexican boxing has seen in recent memory, with Canelo Alvarez set to throw hands with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a fight that is both very big and pretty personal.

Both men have plenty to lose but the winner will have gained not just another significant victory (particularly if JCC Jr. pulls off the upset) but the bragging rights as the top Mexican fighter in the sport today. That’s no small prize.

Naturally, this is a pay-per-view attraction produced by the people at HBO Sports. The promoters and network involved are making it as easy as possible to order the fight on pay-per-view, but just in case you’re not familiar with the process by using your TV remote, we can help by guiding you to a page that walks you through it.
