For Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., their confidence is going to potentially earn one of them a lot of money. As both boxers appeared on the Spanish television talk show Despierta América, Chavez suggested the pair’s match on May 6 in Las Vegas should be winner-takes-all. It was a bold move since Chavez was only in line to make $9 million. Canelo, who’s got a lot more on the line – $36 million – agreed, because he “will win” either way.

The Vikings didn’t dress Peterson during their Week 2 loss to the Patriots. On Wednesday, they decided to put him on the exempt/commissioner’s permission list, which means Peterson is barred from team activities while keeping him under contract.
