Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin are set to fight for the third time. The pair will face each other on September 17 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The trilogy fight could be the last time we see the fight pair, especially if the Mexican wins. Fans have been following the build-up to the fight very closely and thousands attended the weigh-ins in Vegas.
The hype for this fight is on another level, which brings the question of how much both Canelo and 'GGG' will get paid for their blockbuster trilogy fight. According to Michael Benson, via Boxing Scene, Canelo Alvarez will earn a whopping $45 million, whereas the Russian will earn around $20 million. The price difference stems from the fact that Alvarez is the champion.

Take a look at the tweet by Michael Benson:
The Champion usually gets the longer end of the stick despite the result of the fight. Canelo is fresh off a loss against the WBA Light-Heavyweight Champion in May this year. Dmitry Bivol completely dominated the action from the start to retain his title. Golovkin, on the other hand, is fresh off a win against the tough Ryoto Murata in Japan.
Despite turning 40, 'GGG' still has tremendous power and skill as well as more ring experience.
