Canelo vs. Kovalev Official Purses

[Ruthless-RKO]

Canelo Alvarez $35 million, Sergey Kovalev $3 million

Kovalev will be making much more than what’s listed on the Nevada Athletic Commission paysheet.

Thanks to his deal with DAZN, Canelo’s official guarantee is $35 million, and that’s not even including subscription-driven incentives in his contract, or the money he makes from Mexican TV. Kovalev’s guarantee is a decidedly modest $3 million, but he’s reportedly making much more than that. The Athletic reported that Kovalev’s full sum is $12 million, although a cut of that will go to his co-promoters Main Events and Top Rank. It’s a career-high salary for Kovalev, who is just two months removed from his KO win over Anthony Yarde in Russia.

Here are the full salaries, per ESPN:

Canelo Alvarez: $35 million
Sergey Kovalev: $3 million (guaranteed several million more)

Ryan Garcia: $250,000
Romero Duno: $50,000

Bakhram Murtazaliev: $55,000
Jorge Fortea: $20,000

Seniesa Estrada: $50,000
Marlen Esparza: $50,000

Blair Cobbs: $20,000
Carlos Ortiz: $5,000

Meiirim Nursultanov: $12,500
Cristian Olivas: $12,000

$35 million vs 3 million doesn't make much sense but will at least cover Kovalev's legal costs..

Kovalev is getting at least $12m before manager/promoter/trainer cuts.

Canelo is kina guaranteed that much due to his contract with DAZN. He's gonna get that much per fight depending on opponent.

Canelo is clearly the draw. No one outside of die hard fans know who Kov is.
