Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez will face Avni Yildirim on February 27 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida from 6:00 p.m. Mexico City time. The boxer will have the opportunity to win $30 million as a prize for just agreeing to fight.

In just one fight, Canelo Álvarez can win more than what players like Karim Benzema or Zlatan Ibrahimovic themselves earn, world soccer stars who are known throughout the world but take years to win what Saúl Álvarez will receive in a few hours.

Even stars like Neymar or Lionel Messi himself cannot win in a few hours what Canelo Álvarez will receive for his fight against the Turkish boxer Avni Yildirim. The 10th of FC Barcelona, for example, earns 26 million dollars a year, while the PSG star’s manage to win 36 million in the same period of time.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's salary at AC Milan is more than six million dollars per season in Italy, to earn the 30 million that Canelo Álvarez will earn he should earn the same for at least five more years, something that seems impossible due to his age of the ex PSG and LA Galaxy.

For his part, Karim Benzema, earns 19 million dollars per season with the Real Madrid shirt, so it would take less than two years to get the 30 million from Saúl el Canelo Álvarez.
