Cotto set to make 30 million, Canelo 10 million

[aldo5408]

All the final creases in negotiations for Miguel Cotto vs Saul Alvarez have been ironed out, and it has now been announced the earnings – not including Pay-Per-View numbers – for both boxers.

The WBC Middleweight champion of the world Miguel Cotto is set to earn a whopping $30million, while ‘Canelo’ will fight for a third of that at $10million.

It won’t be Saul’s biggest payday – he earned $12million for fighting Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather – but given his relative underdog status against Mayweather, this is his biggest opportunity. A win for Alvarez will skyrocket the Mexican into even more contests of this magnitude, but with more dollar in his pocket.

Beyond Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao this is the biggest contest of the year, a re-ignition of the traditional Mexico vs Puerto Rico rivalry inside the ring.

The contest takes place at Mandaley Bay on November 21st on HBO PPV, with the full undercard yet to be announced.

$10 mil is no chump change for a 25 year old. Could be a jumpstart into an insanely lucrative career if all goes well.

I agree. He made 12 million dollars at only 23 years old. That's insane for such a young guy, especially a boxer.

Won't sky rocket him to shlt.

He can already fight pretty much anyone he wants to, yet he has chosen to dodge the true champ, GGG.

I highly suspect Cotto is getting more, but all these numbers being talked about seem way more favorable to Cotto than I foresee the real numbers being once released officially by a legit source.

Miguel "Money" Cotto

And the worse thing about it is that Canelo is being paid with Aztec Ice Cream and Ecuadorian Jelly beans.
