Update on purses: Per Yahoo Sports, the amounts reported to the NSAC were $6 million for Canelo, $3 million for GGG.
Both WBC/WBA/IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and former champ Canelo Alvarez had been reportedly guaranteed $15 million each with Canelo taking the lion’s share of the PPV upside.
If Golovkin wins, Canelo can enforce a contractual rematch clause. However, if Canelo wins, he’s under no obligation to grant “GGG” a rematch.
The NSAC has assigned Kenny Bayless to referee the bout. Judges are Adalaide Byrd, Dave Moretti and Don Trella.
