Saul Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KOs) agrees to a partial cut in royalties, but wants to earn at least $25 million for his work. This means that the Mexican is willing to give up 30 percent of his salary under the contract with the DAZN platform.
Canelo may return to the ring on November 14, December 5 or 12. DAZN gives the Mexican boxer priority in choosing a convenient date for him and is waiting for his decision to announce the calendar for the second half of 2020.
There is no financial agreement between DAZN and Golden Boy Promotions, which handles Alvarez's affairs. DAZN's offer is $17 million for the next show and a higher payout for a possible third fight against Gennady Golovkin, which is scheduled for next year.
The Mexican is training in California with Eddie Reinoso and is ready to return to the ring. However, while Canelo does not intend to concede in financial matters. Billy Joe Saunders and Callum Smith have long been mentioned as possible rivals for Alvarez.
