Dmitry Bivol (20-0, 11 KOs) expects at least $10 million for a rematch with Saul Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs). After Saturday night of boxing in Las Vegas, the WBA light heavyweight champion suggested that he was not entirely satisfied with the financial conditions on which he went out to fight the Mexican.
“I hope that before the rematch I will be treated like a real champion. I know that we have a rematch clause, but if we have a second fight, I would like new negotiations, ”Bivol said.
Caleb Plant made over $10 million for his fight with Canelo last year. There were four super-middleweight belts at stake in the duel between the American and the Mexican.
Also, despite the mandatory rematch clause, Andy Ruiz Jr. insisted on new financial terms before his second fight with Anthony Joshua. These negotiations culminated in the success of the first Mexican heavyweight champion.
