Two middle-aged people, a man and a woman -- they looked like a couple -- strolled by the massive staging and setup at Times Square on the pedestrian island at 46th Street on Monday. The woman asked the man, "What's going on?" "It's some kind of boxing thing," he answered. Neither gets points for perceptiveness, as there was no shortage of signage indicating this event was meant to hype the Sept. 14 Las Vegas showdown between Floyd Mayweather -- the game's pound-for-pound ace, top draw and richest earner in all of sports -- and Canelo "Saul" Alvarez, a handsome Mexican hitter who debuted at age 15 and inspires some of the same heart flutters in admirers that his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, did.
