Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will face off in a big-money boxing match on Saturday, September 13, 2025, in Las Vegas. The fight will move a total purse of $200 million, making it one of the most lucrative sporting events of 2025.
Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will earn a guaranteed $150 million for the fight. His opponent, the undefeated 'Bud' Crawford, will pocket $50 million. These numbers show how boxing still pulls in huge sums of money.
Canelo, the current super middleweight champion, comes into the fight as a slight favorite. He's got more experience at this weight and has faced tough opponents before. His biggest paydays so far include $100 million against William Scull, $45 million for his third fight with Gennady Golovkin, and $40 million when he beat Caleb Plant.
Crawford, on the other hand, is seen by many as the best pound-for-pound fighter right now. His unbeaten record gives him a real shot at upsetting Canelo.
For Alvarez, this fight will be his biggest payday yet. His net worth before the fight sits at around $600 million. After the fight, it could easily pass $750 million. He's also got money coming in from sponsorships, his car business, drinks, and gas stations.
"Canelo's getting closer to joining the billionaire athletes club," said a source close to the fighter. "He's following in the footsteps of guys like Floyd Mayweather and Cristiano Ronaldo."
The fight promises to be a spectacle, with both boxers bringing their A-game. Canelo's experience at super middleweight gives him an edge, but Crawford's perfect record means he can't be counted out.
As the date gets closer, fans and experts alike are getting more and more excited. The $200 million purse breaks all previous records, showing just how big this event will be.
