Canelo vs Crawford purse: How much prize money will both fighters be paid?

Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvaraz and Terence Crawford finally meet this weekend in Las Vegas is what is being billed as the fight of the year.

The WBO, WBA, IBF and WBC belts will be on the line to crown an undisputed super-middleweight champion, with American Crawford stepping up two weight classes to take on the Mexican.

Canelo remains undefeated at this level, while Crawford is looking to cement his status as one of boxing’s true greats, and pound-for-pound the best fighter in the world.

With so much at stake in Las Vegas, it is set to draw huge crowds and career-defining paydays for the fighters.

UFC CEO Dana White is involved, making his grand entrance into the sport through his new promotion Zuffa Boxing, alongside boxing’s powerbroker Turki Alalshikh.

White has confirmed that Canelo vs Crawford will be the third biggest live gate in boxing history, behind Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao ($72.2 million) and Mayweather vs Conor McGregor ($55.4 million).

The 65,000-seater capacity Allegiant Stadium will also be a sellout, which will break the attendance record previously of the venue set by WWE.

So with all eyes on the pair, who much will they be pocketing?

The official fight purse and split have not been officially disclosed, but Crawford has been open with his payday.
