In a matter of time, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez will make his first attempt to reclaim the undisputed title that was stripped from him last year. He is set to face William Scull, the reigning IBF super middleweight champion, in Riyadh. This bout marks the opening chapter of a four-fight deal Canelo signed earlier this year with Turki Alalshikh‘s Riyadh Season. The second fight under the agreement is scheduled for September, when he takes on Terence Crawford.
For Canelo, today’s fight, and those that follow, could define the legacy he’s been crafting over the past two decades. But is legacy the only thing at stake? Those familiar with the sport know better. Boxing is as much about business as it is about glory. For Canelo, the financial aspects of his deals remain a central focus. So, it’s no surprise how lucrative this four-fight contract with Riyadh Season truly is. The deal is reportedly worth a staggering $400 million. According to recent updates, the guaranteed purse from just the first two fights this year is expected to bring the Mexican icon a staggering $200 million. So with an existing net worth of approximately $275 million, Canelo could be well on his way to rivaling the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, whose fortune is estimated at over $800 million!
