Winner of Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford boxing match to acquire exclusive $200,000 award

The boxing world is abuzz with anticipation as two of the sport's biggest names, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, prepare to go head-to-head in Las Vegas this Saturday night. The highly-anticipated bout will take place at the Allegiant Stadium, with the event being live-streamed worldwide on Netflix.

The combined purse for the fight is reported to be a staggering $200 million. Early reports indicate that Alvarez is set to earn over $100 million, while Crawford is suggested to take home $10 million. However, these figures are subject to change and official confirmation is yet to be made.

At stake in this epic showdown is Alvarez's undisputed super-middleweight titles. Should Alvarez emerge victorious, he is expected to defend his titles on British soil in a UK debut. If Crawford manages to pull off an upset, he would not only steal the crown from under the nose of a fellow modern-era icon but also become a five-weight world champion.

The Ring Magazine belt, an award for the best fighter in the division, will also be at stake. A custom-made title worth an estimated $188k, close to $200k, will be awarded to the winner. The custom-made title has already been placed on display in Sin City ahead of the event.

Intriguingly, both fighters are undefeated in their professional careers, with neither having been dropped in the ring. Victory for Crawford could see him emulate boxing icon Floyd Mayweather, while a win for Alvarez would further cement his place among the sport's all-time greats.

Should Crawford emerge victorious, he would instantly be brushing shoulders with the boxing elite as an all-time great. On the other hand, Alvarez's undisputed status and immense earning power make him a formidable opponent.

In the build-up to the fight, potential opponents for Alvarez's potential title defense on British soil have been lined up. Hamzah Sheeraz and Chris Eubank Jr are reportedly being considered for the challenge.

This promises to be a night of unparalleled boxing action, with two of the sport's greatest fighters going toe-to-toe. Tune in to Netflix this Saturday night to witness history in the making.
