Canelo Alvarez And Terence Crawford Fight Involves A New perk

For the millionaires, Canelo and Crawford, having an expensive $188K gold belt. For Canelo’s estimated purse of $150 million and Crawford’s $50 million, having an expensive new Ring belt to go home with makes sense. These two are going to be the equivalent of Gilded Age millionaires from the money that they make for their September 13th fight on Netflix at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. “For a mega-fight of this magnitude, we wanted to create an exclusive mega-belt. So, we spoke to numerous companies all over the world, and eventually settled on a top-tier company in the UK,” said Rick Reeno of Ring Magazine at today’s Riyadh press conference, talking about the new belt that will be up for grabs for the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight on September 13th.

MOST EXPENSIVE BOXING BELT EVER “This company often gets commissioned to create items for Kings and Queens, for jewelry, high-end metals, for the British army. For the belt that Canelo has, we spent 100,000 pounds. For this belt, we upped the ante to 140,000 pounds. This is by far the most expensive Ring belt ever created, the finest gold, the finest craftsmanship.

The best fighters get the best rewards

Without a doubt Turki Al-Sheikh is rolling out the red carpet for this fight. But we’ll see if this is going to be a near trend or just a one off.

“Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford are the two very best fighters, and there can only be one. Only one of them is going home with this belt on September 13th.” That is an incredible amount of money for a belt. I wonder if any of the sanctioning bodies, like the WBC can create a similar one to put on the lines for their fights.
