Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin’s trilogy fight purses REVEALED with Mexican champion to earn £18MILLION more
CANELO ALVAREZ and Gennady Golovkin are set to earn a GUARANTEED £60million between them.
The duo renew their rivalry for a third and potentially final time tonight in Las Vegas.
And according to Boxing Scene, the bout almost half a decade in the making is set to earn Canelo, 32, at least $45m (£39m).
Meanwhile Golovkin, 40, is expected to clear $25m (£21.6m) for his part in the Sin City showdown.
The pair of ex-sparring partners first fought in 2017, when Canelo controversially escaped with a draw.
That night, he is believed to have banked around £36m, according to Forbes, with Golovkin earning near £18m.

In their rematch a year later, Canelo walked away with a majority decision win and around £43m while GGG took home the same £18m.
Both fights sold over 1million pay-per-views on HBO at the time, bringing in a total revenue of $230m (£200m).
This time around, DAZN are carrying the box office rights both in America and in the UK.
Golovkin has been made to wait for his chance at redemption and promised fans a treat in the ring.
