Turki Alalshikh revealed at Thursday’s press conference that Canelo Alvarez’s guaranteed wallet for his match against Terence Crawford will amount to more than $ 100 million on Saturday night.
Canelo’s historic wallet unveiled
During the press conference, Turki was asked about the $ 100 million received by Canelo for the Crawford match, saying: ‘No, you got the number ($ 100,000,000) wrong. The contract between us and Canelo is more than that. “
The opportunity shows that commercial box still thrives, as Canelo-Crawford is more interested than the UFC-type match-ups involving their top stars. One reason for this is the short shelf life of stars in MMA. It is impossible to stay on top long enough to get the next type of Canelo and Crawford.
What this indicates is that box does not die as some believe. At least it’s not for the selected fighters at the top of the sport, such as Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs).
The best fighters selected for Turki’s Riyadh season events are well selected, and there is not much the biggest money. Box thrives under elite fighters during the Riyadh season -meetings in Turki.

What is interesting is that some of the guys who make good money on the events of Turki Alalshikh are not considered entertaining by fans. Shakur, Haney and Crawford do not have a pleasant fighting styles, but they are recorded on Turki’s cards.
Stevenson tried to change his normal defense style of fighting to become a more action-oriented fighter after Turki’s No Tom and Jerry Type Fights Mandate for his last match against William Zepeda on July 12.
