There’s no denying the popularity of Canelo Alvarez in the world of combat sports. The multi-division boxing champion is the biggest name in the sport of boxing, and arguably the highest-earning boxer today. The Mexican fighter, despite losing against Dmitry Bivol back in 2022, Canelo’s stake has gone nowhere and it’s evident from the fact that he made a whopping $45 million for the trilogy fight against Gennadiy Golovkin back in September 2022.

Back in 2022, Canelo Alvarez was the highest-earning sports athlete with an estimated earning in 2021 amounting to a staggering $85 million. Canelo made a staggering $35 million in his fight against Billy Joe Saunders and up to $40 million from his super-middleweight showdown against Caleb Plant. The Mexican fighter competed thrice in the year 2021, and twice in the year 2022.
Ahead of 2023, it’s safe to say we will get to see more of Canelo, who has already confirmed that he is not retiring anytime before he turns 37. By the time 2023 comes to a close, we believe he will have a net worth in the excess of $300 million, and here’s why.
Canelo Alvarez has huge fights lined up in 2023
Canelo Alvarez could possibly fight thrice this year, after competing just twice in 2022. There are several exciting match-ups for the Mexican fighter, who might not shy away from a much-anticipated rematch against Dmitry Bivol.
Having earned around the $100 million mark in the past two years, it will be no surprise if Canelo Alvarez managed to cross that mark once again in 2023. And we believe he does so quite comfortably. Canelo Alvarez’s net worth is reported at $180 million, and add to his various endorsement deals, and the $20 million that he claims he makes from his real estate investments, it’s hard not to think Canelo Alvarez will be a step closer to finding himself in the elite list of sporting icons with a net worth upwards of $500 million.
