After much speculation and anticipation, the fight purse for the highly anticipated match between Canelo Alvarez and John Ryder has been disclosed.
According to sources, Canelo Alvarez is estimated to earn a guaranteed $15 million for the fight, with the potential to earn up to $40 million if pay-per-view sales go according to plan. This is a pay cut from what he could have earned if the fight was in Las Vegas, London, or the Middle East, which is estimated to be around $10 million more.
John Ryder, the underdog in this match, is still expected to earn a significant payday. In his last match, he earned a fight purse worth $400,000, which he could potentially double with additional bonuses and PPV shares. If the PPV sales cross between $500K to $1 million, he could even get 30% PPV shares.
