Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will fight on Sept. 13 with a massive purse for boxing’s biggest event in recent memory.
Determining the exact purse and guaranteed money for the Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford fight on September 13 proves difficult. Sources consistently offer vague responses, typically stating “its a lot.”
These boxing legends will clash on Netflix from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, in a spectacle poised too reshape the boxing world. Promoters, including Dana White, remain tight-lipped, but indications suggest a important disparity in payouts between the two fighters.
Reports indicate Alvarez will earn at least $100 million,possibly reaching $150 million,for the fight. Crawford,however,claims a $10 million payday – a claim many consider dubious.
Crawford Fight Part of Canelo’s Lucrative Deal
alalshikh, instrumental in securing the fight, stated at a press conference that alvarez’s reported $100 million is an underestimate.
“More than that,” he declared.
White, in a Vegas PBS interview, largely confirmed this.
“Well, imagine what it would take to get Canelo to fight Crawford, moving up weight classes while undefeated,” White explained.
When pressed on the $100 million figure, White simply answered, “Probably,” with a laugh.
Regarding Crawford’s earnings, White deferred, “I don’t know. I don’t actually even know. That deal was cut with (Alalshikh) in Saudi Arabia.”
