Undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. hosts a workout for media at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2013.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Canelo Alvarez Much is being made of the $41.5 million Mayweather will get for this fight, but the bigger post-fight headline could be the champ’s first defeat. September 14, 3 p.m. $350-$2,000, MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Hear

Iron Maiden Black Sabbath just dropped by, but the British metal outfit we’re most excited about this month is the one fronted by Bruce Dickinson, not Ozzy. Maiden has its longtime lineup intact and a setlist filled with ’80s classics. Run to the hills, er, Mandalay Bay Events Center. With Megadeth, September 12, 7:30 p.m., $50-$90.

Mariachi El Bronx You have every reason to be suspicious of an abrasive, Caucasian-populated punk band taking on a mariachi-flavored side project. But the Bronx’s Mariachi version is mercifully irony-free and respectful to the Mexican folk tradition. September 13-16, 10:30 p.m., free, Book & Stage.

UNLV Jazz The school’s acclaimed Jazz Ensemble celebrates its 40th anniversary with a concert featuring the UNLV Alumni Jazz Band. September 17, 7:30 p.m., $10-$12, Artemus Ham Hall.
