Okay, so I was super curious about how much money Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo were gonna make from their fight. I mean, we’re talking big names, big fight, gotta be big bucks, right?
So, I started digging. First, I hit up Google, just basic searches like “Canelo Charlo purse” and “Canelo vs Charlo payout.” I scrolled through a bunch of articles, some news sites, some boxing blogs – you know the drill.
It was kinda frustrating at first. Lots of different numbers were being thrown around. Some places talked about “guaranteed purses,” others mentioned “potential earnings” with pay-per-view bonuses. It wasn’t clear-cut.
I kept digging, though. I started to see some recurring numbers, especially when I focused on articles from more reputable sports news outlets.
My Findings
Here’s what I pieced together:
- It looked like Canelo was guaranteed a massive amount, somewhere in the range of $25 million to $35 million, even some said $50 million.
I felt shock at first, cause that’s a ton of cash!
- Charlo’s guaranteed purse seemed to be lower, but that made sense, since Canelo is the bigger draw. I saw numbers like $8 million to $15 million for Charlo’s guarantee.
- Then there was the pay-per-view upside. Both fighters would get a cut of the PPV revenue, so if the fight did really well, their total earnings could be way higher.
I imagined that Canelo probably has a larger percentage.
I realized that getting the exact numbers is tough. These things are often kept pretty private. But, I got a good sense of the ballpark figures. It’s safe to say both guys walked away with a serious chunk of change. What a night for them!
