Canelo would prefer to fight in September around the Mexican holiday however Mayweather has recently requested September 12th @ the MGM for a PPV event on Showtime. This is also Mayweather's last fight with Showtime and as he has stated, its his last fight before he retires.

HBO and the promoters don’t want to compete with Mayweather to follow another PPV the next week.
