"He did what made him happy"- Floyd Mayweather backs Canelo Alvarez for choosing Dmitry Bivol

Floyd Mayweather supports Canelo Alvarez's decision to opt to fight Dmitry Bivol.

The Mexican has been subject to a lot of criticism ever since it was announced that his next fight would be against the Russian. Alvarez has been demeaned for declining offers to face Jermall Charlo and David Benavidez, who are considered his "real" challenges.

However, it is worth noting that Canelo Alvarez is moving up to light-heavyweight to fight Bivol for a world title in a fifth different weight division. Amidst all the criticism, Mayweather has backed the pound-for-pound king to do what he wants. During a recent interview with FightHype, Floyd Mayweather was asked to comment on the situation. 'Money' said:

"He [Canelo] did what made him happy. Sometimes you gotta what makes you happy."
