Canelo vs. Khan: Purse info for main card fighters

Related Topics: Amir Khan (boxer), Middleweight

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Amir Khan will step into the ring later tonight to duke it out for Canelo's middleweight titles, and each man is making a nice chunk of change to show up. The official purses have been released for each man (via Bad Left Hook), with Alvarez being guaranteed 3.5 million and Khan 2 million for their HBO PPV bout.

If that seems sort of low for such a big-ticket attraction, it's because it doesn't factor in many other revenue streams for the fighters. As noted a few days ago, both men will receive PPV points on the back end, and each man will also get paid from a TV deal they have - Canelo with TV Azteca in Mexico, Khan with BoxNation in the UK.
