Canelo Alvarez vs. Dmitry Bivol purse, salaries: How much money will they make for 2022 boxing fight

Canelo Alvarez hasn’t lost a fight since 2013, when Floyd Mayweather defeated him by majority decision.

With a 57-1-2 record, he’s one of boxing’s hottest commodities. He’s putting that reputation on the line Saturday by fighting Russian boxer Dmitry Bivol, who is carrying in a 19-0 record, 11 by knockout.

Unsurprisingly, Alvarez is going to be walking away from his fight with Bivol with a bigger haul, as DAZN continues to cash in on its biggest star even after releasing him from his contract in 2020.
