Canelo Alvarez has gone on a massive watch shopping spree ahead of his fight against Terence Crawford on September 13.

It's a clash of two four-weight world champions and to enhance the magnitude of the contest, the event will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It will also be broadcast on Netflix worldwide.

Canelo looks to be in light spirits ahead of the contest and reportedly splashed out $3.8 million on watches, with a video of his spree doing the rounds on social media.

In the video, the seller could be seen showing Canelo a $550K watch before the Mexican fixed his sights on one worth $900K. He then bought another one for the price $1.4 million, joking "$1.4 million on my hands."

Canelo has a net worth of $250 million, sohis spending spree shouldn't come as a surprise. Apart from being the most famous boxer on the planet, he owns several businesses and makes a fortune both in and out of the ring.
