In a few days, the undisputed 168-pound super middleweight champion Carneiro Alvarez will have his first professional bout of 2024 against his Mexican compatriot Jimmy Monguia, and given the fighting styles of both men, it promises to be a tight, high-profile contest.
Alvarez's match with Monguia is his second match after working with PBC El Haymon, and the two sides almost parted ways a few months ago due to a gratuity disagreement, so when Alvarez and Monguia reached an agreement, there was a question of great concern, that is, how much will Alvarez receive in this match?
According to "Boxing News 24", Alvarez will receive a guaranteed appearance fee of $35 million, which is a significant amount. The $35 million gratuity was largely expected by the outside world, and Alvarez had a gratuity disagreement with the PBC before, and it was rumored that he asked for a second game of no less than $30 million, which now seems to have been realized.
If the $35 million is true, then Alvarez did not exceed the amount of the honorarium for the last battle with Guimel Charlo. With Charlo, Alvarez has a guaranteed appearance fee of $40 million, the second-highest earnest of his career, and considering that Charlo is the undisputed champion of the 154-pound super welterweight division, Alvarez's remuneration will naturally increase a lot. On the contrary, Monguia is inferior to Charlo in terms of influence and status, so Alvarez's appearance fee has naturally changed.
Alvarez's $35 million gratuity is not as good as his fight against Charlow, but it's higher than his match with Briton John Reid earlier last year, when Alvarez had a guaranteed appearance fee of $30 million (one say $33 million).
How much will Monguia be paid for this battle? You know, he has been chasing Alvarez for many years, and now he has finally gotten his wish. One of the main reasons why Monguia chased Alvarez, in addition to trying to win against his opponents and create miracles, was that he could get rich overnight. At present, the official amount of Monguia's remuneration has not been announced, but according to the famous "Marca" newspaper, Monguia's guaranteed appearance fee is in the range of 300-5 million US dollars, and his previous maximum remuneration was 2 million US dollars, and this time it will definitely exceed this amount.
You can refer to Rhett, who played against Alvarez last year, his guaranteed remuneration is only $1 million, and Monguia's popularity is significantly higher than Red, so $300-5 million is reasonable, and even higher.
Forbes magazine reported that Alvarez's net worth is now as high as $275 million, the highest among active fighters, surpassing the very familiar Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, even in the entire world sports arena, Alvarez is also ranked 5th, second only to Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, LeBron James, if you count the income from the battle with Monguia in a few days, Alvarez's net worth is bound to continue to rise.
According to media reports, Alvarez's total income in professional boxing has exceeded $550 million (not net worth), of which $170 million comes from three fights with Gennady Golovkin. Alvarez has today's ability to absorb gold, which is by no means an overnight achievement, but a gradual process, in short, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain. Alvarez's $12 million fight against Floyd Mayweather in 2013 and $25 million in 2016 against Amir Kahan now stands at $30 million to $40 million.
