Eddie Hearn, with the deal locked in, could guarantee $25m for the May and September fights, with an option of $20m for any time that Alvarez wants to fight for a third time in a year.
Between Alvarez's money on his direct Mexico TV deal, the sponsors, the live event, etc, he'd be sitting on a nice payout per fight.
Alvarez eats half the money, but most of the shows are already simulcasts of what Sky Sports is already paying for (leaving him room to dedicate less money to the UK shows from the DAZN deal), and he's not set for blockbuster shows in the US anyone, leaving Hearn free to keep a nice chunk of that money for Matchroom Sport.
