Canelo’s payday of £ 175m: Boxing’s richest athlete surpasses Ronaldo, Neymar and Prescott combined

Canelo Alvarez rewrites the sports payment scale – and he does it easily. In 2025, the Mexican superstar would drop a jaw that dropped £ 175m ($ 200m) for just two fights, thanks to a four-game, £ 302m ($ 400m), with the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund. If it sounds obscene, it’s because it is so sementic Canelo as the world’s highest paid athlete, who surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and even Roof Prescott.

Canelo’s agreement: a staggering payday

Research of Prime Casino have determined that Canelo with this mega agreement its year with a Dazn ppv Cinco de Mayo against William Scull, followed by a super fight with Terence Crawford. Canelo’s earnings break down to £ 14.58m ($ 17.8m) a month, £ 479.5k ($ 555,000) per day, and £ 19,977 ($ 23,000) per hour. It’s £ 333 ($ 380) every minute. Not bad for a few battles.

“I’m at a place I’ve always dreamed of,” Canelo said. And the numbers prove it.

With this Mega-Deal, Leapfrogs athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo (£ 171m / $ 200m), Jon Rahm (£ 150m / $ 175m), and Oleksandr Ulsyk (£ 90.7m / $ 105m) on the rich list, all who have their own Saudi-Backed deal. Saudi Arabia picks up the tab again.

• Neymar (£ 81.6m / $ 95m) injuries could not stop him from paying in at Al-Hilal.
