Crawford, the 37-year-old boxing star from Omaha, Nebraska, will face off against Canelo on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The fight promises to boost Crawford's earnings, with an expected $10 million payday.
'Bud' Crawford's professional record stands at an impressive 41 wins, zero losses, with 31 knockouts. His biggest payday so far came from his fight against Errol Spence Jr. on July 29, 2023, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Crawford pocketed a whopping $25 million for that bout.
The Spence fight proved to be a career-defining moment for Crawford. He knocked out his opponent in the ninth round, retaining his WBO welterweight belt and snagging the WBA, WBC, and IBF titles in the process.
"I'm the only fighter in boxing history to be undisputed in two weight classes in the four-belt era," Crawford said after the fight. "I'm a special talent."
While Crawford's net worth might seem modest compared to Canelo's, it's worth noting that boxing earnings can fluctuate wildly based on pay-per-view sales and other factors. The upcoming fight against Canelo will likely give Crawford's fortune a significant boost.
As the September 13 showdown approaches, fans and analysts alike will watch closely to see if Crawford can add another impressive win to his undefeated record – and another hefty sum to his bank account.
