A championship boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will occupy the Sept. 13 spot.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe world championship boxing match is important to Las Vegas, and the impact it will have on tourism is unmatched,\u201d UNLV athletic director Erick Harper said in a statement. \u201cLas Vegas is the sports and entertainment capital, and we are a part of this amazing epicenter. As community members and an institution that works closely with many of the city\u2019s great constituents, we felt it was important to request a waiver to show our commitment to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harper said UNLV officials looked at a handful of scenarios and moving it to Aug. 23 \u2014 Week 0 in college football terminology \u2014 was the best option.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to continuing to build great partnerships with the Las Vegas community,\u201dHarper said.<\/p>\n
