Crawford's getting ready to face Canelo on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. He'll pocket $10 million for the fight, which is a nice payday but not his biggest yet.
That honor goes to his last fight against Errol Spence Jr. on July 29, 2023, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Crawford knocked out Spence in the ninth round, kept his WBO welterweight belt, and snagged the WBA, WBC, and IBF belts too. The cherry on top? A cool $25 million purse.
At 37 years old, Crawford's got an impressive 41-0 record with 31 knockouts. The Omaha, Nebraska native, born on September 28, 1987, has been steadily building his fortune throughout his career.
Canelo, on the other hand, has been raking in the big bucks for a while now. The Mexican boxer's $300 million net worth shows just how lucrative the sport can be at the very top.
While the gap in their bank accounts is big, Crawford's upcoming fight against Canelo could help close it a bit. It's a chance for Crawford to prove himself against one of boxing's biggest stars and potentially set himself up for even bigger paydays in the future.
