Okay, so I saw this buzz about the Canelo vs. Charlo fight and the money involved, and I got curious. I mean, who wouldn’t be? We’re talking big bucks here, right?
So, first, I jumped onto my trusty search engine. I just started typing in “Canelo Charlo purse” and stuff like that. I wanted to get a general feel for the numbers being thrown around.
I waded through a bunch of articles, some probably more reliable than others. You know how it is online – gotta be a bit of a detective! I was trying to find some consistent figures, some sort of consensus on what each fighter was walking away with.
It gets a bit confusing because you see different terms. There’s the “guaranteed purse,” which is like the minimum they’re promised, win or lose. Then there’s talk of “pay-per-view shares,” which is like a bonus based on how many people buy the fight. And, of course, sponsorships and all that jazz add to the pile.
I started jotting down some notes, just rough numbers I was seeing pop up repeatedly. It’s like, “Okay, this site says X million guaranteed for Canelo, this one says Y million.” I tried to find the average, I guess?
I also looked for official statements, you know, anything from the promoters or the fighters’ camps themselves. Those are usually the most reliable, but even then, they don’t always give you the full picture. It’s all very hush-hush sometimes.
I spent a good chunk of time just comparing numbers, seeing where the estimates lined up and where they differed. I wanted to get a reasonable range, something I could feel somewhat confident about.
Finally, after all that digging, I felt like I had a decent * wasn’t an exact science, but I had a ballpark figure in mind for what each fighter likely made. I think I successed!
