Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford are set to collide in Saturday night’s main event at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Both future Hall of Famers have cemented their legacies with extraordinary success inside the ring. Crawford is a four-division world champion and a rare two-division undisputed titleholder, while Canelo boasts championships across four weight classes and is a two-time undisputed super middleweight champion.

Their achievements stand among the most remarkable in modern boxing. Yet, as fans eagerly await this mega showdown—which could see Crawford etch his name in history as the first male three-weight undisputed champion—another question has started circulating across the boxing world: who is wealthier, Canelo Alvarez or Terence Crawford? If you’ve found yourself wondering the same, here’s a breakdown of the fortunes these two icons have built over their careers.

Canelo Alvarez: How much money does he have? 

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Canelo Alvarez has an estimated fortune of $300 million. Meanwhile, Sportico reports that with his $100 million-plus payday for the Terence Crawford fight, his career earnings will soar to around $800 million, factoring in both fight purses and endorsements over his two-decade-long professional career. This milestone comes on the heels of Alvarez signing a lucrative four-fight deal with His Excellency Turki Alalshikh and his Riyadh Season earlier this year, reportedly worth $400 million.

Before partnering with Saudi Arabia’s ambitious boxing ventures, Canelo’s typical fight purses hovered between $35 million and $45 million over the past seven years. His bout against William Scull alone reportedly netted him around $80 million, while his trilogy clash with Gennady Golovkin earned him $45 million. Outside the ring, Alvarez has built a diverse business empire. He owns Canelo Energy, a chain of five gas stations, and Upper, a network of 20 convenience stores. 

He also launched VMC, a tequila-based canned cocktail, and Yaoca, a sports drink and supplements brand. On top of that, he enjoys endorsement deals with Under Armour, Hennessy, Michelob Ultra, Everlast, and Tecate. Known for stepping into fight week in custom Dolce & Gabbana, Canelo is also believed to have a long-running brand partnership with the luxury fashion house. Safe to say there’s plenty going for him. 

Terence Crawford: Does he have more money than Canelo?

Terence Crawford, meanwhile, holds an estimated net worth of $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. For the Canelo Alvarez showdown, he is reportedly set to pocket around $50 million—by far the biggest payday of his career. Beyond the ring, Crawford has planted deep roots in his hometown of Omaha. He co-owns B&B Gym, a nonprofit boxing academy dedicated to training young fighters, and runs The Bud Crawford Shop, which sells his official merchandise and signed memorabilia.

His endorsement portfolio includes partnerships with Prime Hydration, SNAC Nutrition, and Billionaire Boys Club. Crawford’s past fight purses illustrate his steady rise. He earned $25 million for defeating Errol Spence Jr. in 2023, $6 million for Shawn Porter, $5.5 million against Amir Khan, $5 million for David Avanesyan, and $3.5 million against Kell Brook. On the investment front, Crawford has quietly built a substantial real estate portfolio. Though precise figures remain undisclosed, reports suggest he owns roughly 40 houses in Nebraska, along with six apartment complexes and several commercial properties.

Having said that, it’s needless to say that Canelo Alvarez is clearly the wealthier man between the two. And with two more fights left in his deal with Turki Alalshikh, his wealth will likely rise even further. What do you make of their wealth?
