As is known, boxing is one of the sports that moves the most money in the world, and this fight will be no exception, as at least $17 million in prizes is already guaranteed for both boxers.
And as a guaranteed payment for defending his belt against Saúl Álvarez, Dmitry Bivol will receive $2 million after the fight. However, this amount can increase considerably, as he is also entitled to receive 30% of the pay-per-view revenue; so in total, he could receive up to $4 million.
On the other hand, Canelo will take the biggest slice of the cake despite not being the current champion, since he is guaranteed a payment of $15 million for his presence in the ring. But due to the "pay per view" issue, the Mexican will receive an additional 70% of sales, and at most, he could leave Las Vegas with $40 million in his pocket. All this was announced by Marca of Spain.
