From Field to Fortune: Athletes Who Are Earning More Than Ever
Canelo Alvarez – $250 Million
Sport: Boxing
On-field: $55 Million
Off-field: $10 Million
Since turning professional at 15, Canelo Alvarez has become one of boxing’s greatest champions. His career earnings are bolstered by a five-year, $365-million contract with DAZN signed in 2018, though the contract later ended in dispute. He has earned massive purses, such as $33 million for his fight against Billy Joe Saunders and $35 million against Anvi Yildrim.
Outside the ring, Canelo’s endorsements with Everlast, Tecate, and Hennessy contribute $10 million annually. He also has investments in real estate, including properties in Mexico and the United States. The athlete has plans to retire by 37 to focus on his business ventures and hobbies, such as playing golf.
