There is a Canelo Jake Paul $200 million fight offer claim to Canelo floating around from Jake Paul but where is he getting that number?
Canelo Alvarez is still the biggest draw in boxing as things stand and only last year was thought to have earned in the region of $100 million for his mega fight with Terence Crawford in Vegas on Netflix.
A bout he lost at super-middleweight by unanimous decision on points.
Jake Paul is a huge name and much more famous than Terence Crawford and recently lost to Anthony Joshua by knockout live on Netflix.
$200 million for Canelo is surely too good to turn down for him, here’s where some of that might come from according to some research on the numbers.
Possible Canelo Jake Paul $200 Million Offer To Alvarez Revenue Streams
- Abu Dhabi/Dubai: $60M-$100M site fee. UAE competes with Saudi for mega events
- Qatar Sports Investments: $50M-$80M. Already funds PSG, boxing interest growing
- Apple TV+: $40M-$70M. Has MLS deal, wants live sports, deep pockets
- Amazon Prime Video: $40M-$60M. Did PBC fights, chasing Netflix’s model
- YouTube Premium PPV: $20M-$40M. Jake’s core audience, direct-to-fan buys
- Meta/Horizon Worlds: $10M-$20M. VR exclusive angles + metaverse sponsorship
- ESPN+/Disney: $20M-$30M. If they want Canelo back from DAZN
- FanDuel/DraftKings: $15M-$25M. Betting integration, title sponsor
- Crypto exchange: $20M-$40M. Crypto.com, Coinbase Arena-style deal
- Mexican billionaire group: $10M-$30M. Slim/Canelo national pride angle
New players in boxing combinations could include people like: Apple + Abu Dhabi + Betr (for instance) = $120M+ base.
Or Amazon + Qatar + PPV = $130M+. Any $200M deal needs 2-3 of these writing $50M+ checks each. One entity rarely covers it all.
He could be looking at bringing in major new companies or governments and so on for such a large event.
Alas, the $200 million Paul offer to Canelo would be comprised of different sources and it is important to note Canelo Alvarez turned him down before.
Not long ago.
Alvarez turned down Paul at the last minute to fight Terence Crawford instead but if Paul could come up with the $200 million, the Canelo Jake Paul fight could have legs as Alvarez would view it as easy work for a large pay day.
Another thing that may stop the Canelo Jake Paul fight is Jake Paul recently saying he might not fight again based on doctor’s advise.
Alvarez is due to return this September also in boxing but a $200 million offer could change his plans.
