The fight itself will not be rigged...what's rigged are the politics and matchups.
Boxing is dominated by four major councils and federations, and all of the have different presidents, regulations, and rules.
There's also the corrupt and crooked promoters who only want the best interest for their own signed fighters, this causes friction between promoters and organizations, thus, the main boxing stars are rarely matched up.
That's why Mayweather vs Manny Pac was never materialized
The matchup itself was made by Mayweather by stipulating a catch weight, he wanted Canelo to come down to the welterweight weight of 147, Canelo refused...Canelo in turn, wanted the fight at a true junior kiddleweight wright of 154, it was Mayweather's turn to say no, they finally agreed on 152 pounds, but Mayweather also wanted to have Canelo restricted not to hydrate himself to a heavier weight, Canelo said no...so Canelo is now free to hydrate himself, and some say Canelo will be as heavy as 170 pounds by tomorrow, while Mayweather would barely make 152, so Canelo will be a lot bigger on fight time, that would certainly give him an advantage at least in the early rounds, but could get tired and winded in the later ones.
So, it's a gamble either way, so no matter the tangibles, the actual outcome is going to be legit.
