Could I please have the link to where Dan Rafael said that Alvarez was guaranteed $24m or that Crawford made more than $2m off of his last fight? Thanks

Sure thing bro http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/i...-suit-top-rank

There is Crawford 2million plus percent of gate. Crawford makes more than Thurman and Danny Garcia. Pretty sweet

Thanks for the link; how the lawyer suing Top Rank for access to the numbers is beyond me, but I'll go with it.

Note: Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman split $4m in disclosed money. To now assume that they didn't get any money that was not disclosed (just as Crawford has seemingly done) is a mistake.

Calling BS on the UK article; where that even picked up that number is hilarious.

you're the one that's says only go by the commission report those are your words not mine.

Remember crawford got part of the gate too.

Keep mind in garcia and thurman were disclosed to get 1.5 million each. Not 2 million. And that was for fighting each other. Thurman he never got paid like that before

A quick Google search of "thurman garcia purse" gets you basically a page of hits stating that the New York State Athletic Commision has the purses for Thurman-Garcia at $2m a piece.

In other words crawford got more than them vs a lesser known and less dangerous opponent

It's pretty obvious that Canelo got paid on the fight, but even $15m is significantly less than the $24m, nevermind what was mentioned in the UK article.

The Mexico TV alone, once you count the live cable airing and the free TV airing afterward, is likely worth a ton to Alvarez anyway, and that's not shared with anyone. Is that counted as part of his guarantee?

Alvarez owns his show; excluding the Mexico TV, he's on a deal that gives him something like 80%-85% of the event proceeds after costs.

Why would Alvarez ever take $24m on the front end, when he's getting 85% of the back-end?

Or, in actuality, Thurman and Garcia both took home more than the disclosed $2m apiece.

even if they did we know Crawford still made more he got part of the gate too
