During his career, Canelo Alvarez fought several greats of all time and earned a lot of money along the way.
On September 13, Canelo Alvarez will return to the boxing ring for the first time since earlier this year, when he takes on Terence Crawford in one of the greatest fighting in recent memory.
The event will be the inaugural event of Dana White and his new boxing promotion TKO boxing, after he and Turki Alalshikh have announced their historical partnership at the start of the year.
And anticipation is high for building the undisputed super middleweight matchup, and earlier this year during the press conference, White had to intervene to break an almost brawl.
Both hunters will undoubtedly earn a huge wallet for the super fight, despite the result of the fight, which Canelo knows very well about.

Canelo Alvarez earned career -high wallet despite shock loss
During his career, the Mexican champion fought several big names in the sport, including Floyd Mayweather, who once handed him his first loss.
And after his second professional loss that Canelo reportedly deserved the largest wallet of his career, after he got a shock loss against Dmitry Bivol.
After he went to the light to hire one of the most feared champions at that time, the Mexican moved back to the middleweight to continue to defend his titles.
Canelo started to successfully defend the title four times before he returned to the light heavyweight to take on the technical bivol, which he was said to have avoided at one point.
The fight was historically in manners, because it marked Dazn's first PPV offer in the United States and Canada.
At the start of the fight, both hunters had their moments of success, but Bivol seemed to make more use of his moments, to float well in and out of distance and land his big shots.
In the middle of the rounds, Bivol continued to increase the pace when Canelo seemed to be tired, possibly because of the fact that Bivol was naturally a bigger hunter than he was.
The fight eventually went to the score cards where Bivol took the shock victory, which was later protested by Canelo who claimed that Bivol won only five rounds.
According to reports, the fight surpassed the 520,000 ppv purchases worldwide, which was much lower than the 1 million that was predicted. However, it generated a turnover between $ 35-40 million. Canelo received a basic wage of $ 15 million, reporting to more than $ 53 million, making it his career -high wallet.
Canelo and Bivol have never had their rematch
After the fight, Canelo made it clear that he would activate the Rematch clause in his contract because he was not happy with the result.
But despite that, he and Bivol have never met in the ring again and both continued their incredible careers, avoiding each other's paths.
