CANELO ALVAREZ is boxing’s top attraction and the highest-paid fighter in the world.
His love for fast cars, incredible homes and amazing lifestyle is funded by his iconic career in the ring.
Canelo’s exact net worth is not truly known, but with his fight earnings and endorsement deals it could be valued close to £200MILLION.
Before moving to sports streaming service DAZN, the Mexican superstar was a pay-per-view headliner.
His nine box office fights, including against Floyd Mayweather, Amir Khan and Gennady Golovkin, saw him pocket around £80m.
Then, in 2018 he signed an 11-fight deal with DAZN, worth a record-breaking £277m.
He had three fights while under contract, beating Rocky Fielding, Daniel Jacobs and Sergey Kovalev.
The hat-trick saw him take home close to £60m, according to information released by the Nevada State Athletic Commission and Ring Magazine.
That was before he decided to terminate the deal, but continued to fight on DAZN as a free agent, where he beat Callum Smith, Avni Yildirim and Billy Joe Saunders.
Further reports say it banked him £25m taking his total to £85m earned while with DAZN.
And this weekend he fights on Showtime PPV and BT Sport Box Office in a massive undisputed super-middleweight world title fight against Caleb Plant which could net him close to £40m.
For his return against Billy Joe Saunders on Saturday, per Sportekz, Canelo received a guaranteed £10m, taking his earnings to at least £175m.
Canelo also banks near to £1.5m a year in sponsors, according to Forbes, with LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton among his partners.
He recently revealed in an interview with Graham Bensinger, that he earns £1.1m a month due to his investments, mainly in real estate.
