Okay, so I saw this headline the other day – “Canelo Purse vs Munguia” – and I was like, what’s the deal here? I mean, I know Canelo Alvarez is a big deal in boxing, but I didn’t know how much these guys actually make for a fight. So, I did what any curious person would do: I started digging.
First thing I did was check out some boxing news sites. I wanted to get a general idea of what the fighters were expected to earn. You know, just to get a ballpark figure. And man, the numbers I saw were pretty wild.
Then, I started looking into past fights. I figured that by comparing Canelo’s previous earnings, I could get a better sense of what he might make this time around. I was right, it gave me a clearer picture and I felt like a detective.
- I looked up articles about Canelo’s fights against, say, Golovkin and Mayweather.
- I compared the reported purses for those fights.
- I tried to find any information about how these purses are usually split.
After that, I wanted to know more about Munguia. Who is this guy? How much has he made in his past fights? So, I did some more searching. I found out he’s a rising star, but he hasn’t had a payday like Canelo yet.
I spent a good chunk of time reading forum discussions and social media comments. It’s always interesting to see what other fans are saying. And let me tell you, there were some pretty heated debates about whether these fighters deserve that kind of money. I didn’t like seeing it but it was interesting.
Finally, I put all the pieces together. I had a decent estimate of what each fighter might earn, based on the available information. It wasn’t an exact number, but it was close enough to satisfy my curiosity, I guess. And I learned a lot about the business side of boxing in the process. Pretty fun, huh?
So, what did I find out?
Well, from what I gathered, Canelo is likely to make a boatload of money, somewhere in the tens of millions. Munguia will probably get a nice chunk of change too, but nowhere near what Canelo is getting. This is just a guess, based on what I read and figured out. It’s not like I have access to their bank accounts or anything!
