After signing a lucrative contract with Sheikh Turki Alalshikh of Saudi Arabia, the Mexican will be fighting for the second of four times, as established in the document he signed a few months ago, which stipulates a total of four fights in exchange for just over $400 million.

The exact amount of the contract is still a secret, but little by little, it has become clear how many millions the Mexican fighter has earned and will earn after the arrival of petrodollars in his life. According to information revealed by Renato Bermúdez of ESPN, "Canelo" reportedly received around $100 million for his fight against William Scull, a figure that would increase for his fight against Crawford.

How much will "Canelo" earn for fighting Crawford?

From the outset, it was already established that there will be a guaranteed purse of $200 million, of which Terence Crawford would receive $50 million, while Álvarez would pocket the remaining $150 million. This disparity in prize money is controversial, but Crawford is the contender, which is why he would receive a smaller amount than the Mexican.

The arrival of "Canelo" to the Riyadh Events portfolio came after several months of negotiations, with Turki Alalshikh interested in adding him to their fight card, which they have begun to fight in Saudi Arabia, as well as the different types of events in which they have decided to invest millions of dollars.

As usual, "Canelo" only fights twice a year, so for those two fights he would be earning $250 million. , an amount with which he could compete to become one of the best paid athletes in the world.
