Canelo had a lot at stake for this fight, as he risked the WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF and The Ring unified super middleweight world championship.

How much money did Munguia pocket for the fight against Canelo?
Although the exact figure that the Tijuana native has collected after fighting Alvarez has not been revealed, he himself has stated that it is the fight that has earned him the most money.
Considering that his fight against Jimmy Kelly in 2022 gave him the opportunity to earn $2 million, we can assume that the amount he received after leaving the ring as a loser is higher.
Munguia’s other career payments
In 2021, against Gabe Rosado, Munguia took home $1.15 million. Munguia reportedly earned around $750,000 after a win over former world title challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko.
Against John Ryder, The Sportster reported that Munguia had a guaranteed purse of $800,000.
