Canelo vs. Kovalev Official Purses
Posted: 01 Nov 2019, 12:33
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
