Winner of Canelo vs Crawford to Earn Staggering Prize Worth $200k

If a potentially career-defining moment, or already lucrative earnings, weren’t enough to ensure the best of both Terence Crawford and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez on Saturday in Las Vegas, then how about a prize worth $200,000 to go along with the latter’s undisputed super middleweight titles that are on the line.

With both fighters having established themselves on the world stage, dominating their respective divisions and evidencing world-class reputations as already two of boxing’s greats while still being active, their upcoming superfight could produce a clash for the ages that will be remembered as legendary, such is the star quality of the two.

Boxing, known notoriously for its lucrative contracts and rewarding payouts, will be no different for Crawford and Canelo. Early reports suggest the fighters will earn a combined purse of $200m, not too shabby. Though bragging rights or financial gain are not the only rewards that are on the line on Saturday.

Huge Prize Up For Grabs For Canelo & Crawford

Tipped as the ‘Fight of the Century’, an exclusively custom-made Ring Magazine belt is set to be presented to the winner and best fighter in the division concluding the highly anticipated contest. The prestigious strap was initially expected to be at stake, but the organisation now owned by Turki Alalshikh have created a customised version worth close to $200k.

Already on display in Las Vegas for fans to view, the custom belt is another incentive for both fighters, with one set to raise the new title. It marks yet another sign of the enormity of this bout, not only for the financial implications, but it’s set to be one of the most significant fights in the history of the sport.

All indications are the superfight will return the third-biggest gate in boxing history at the Allegiant Stadium, only to be beaten by Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather‘s omnipresent pull.

Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez vs Terence Crawford Preview

Canelo and Crawford have both been at the top of the sport for almost a decade now, with neither getting any younger. How much further can both go on? A monstrous challenge awaits the pair in Sin City, while questions as ever remain for both.

The Mexican fighter, on a six-win streak in the middleweight division, has taken it by storm ever since he claimed the WBC and WBO titles after beating Callum Smith in 2020, before becoming the first undisputed champion in the 168-pound division in history after his KO victory against Caleb Plant in 2021.

His opponent on Saturday has similarly dominated his respective weight classes, both at 140lbs and 145lbs, clinching the undisputed crown in January 2023 after his triumph over Errol Spence Jr. Crawford, like too Canelo, made history, becoming the first boxer to unify all four belts in the welterweight division.

If one thing is certain, this fight is set to be historic, while the opportunity for both fighters to become the first to claim a one-on-one prize on Saturday adds more fuel to the fire.
